Someone please explain how a roof rack became "cool"
I see people with roof racks talking JDM this and JDM that and in the same breath diss cars with wide body kits and crazy paint and call them "rice"
I can understand roof racks being a "west coast" thing because maybe they can shove a surfboard up there, or a lowrider bicycle (which is pretty fucking gay as well) but I can understand if it had some functionality.
But in georgia? really? WTF do people do with it?
They do whatever they want b/c it's their car.

well......wat they said^
btw wide body kits on hondas=fail
What ^^^^ said.
Bike racks that aren't used for their intended purpose, on ANY car, equals fail.
I don't see how a bike rack adds to the asthetic value of a car....not to mention that whole trend is far from "jdm".
x3.
:idb:
It doesn't have to add to the aesthetic value -- it's THEIR car.
Hell there isn't much other than paint that adds the aesthetic value of car but people still cram shit onto and into their car.
Personal preference.
And sometimes it's NOT personal preference... people are so unoriginal that they copy the personal preference of OTHER people who are more original than they are.
"I'm not a gynecologist... but I'll take a look."
I would put a bike rack on my car if it was capable to have one. Oh and it was be used for what it is intended to do, transport my mountain bike from one place to another.
Which we call it "JDM".
:idb:
I don't understand how it's JDM? What's JDM about it? Don't get me wrong, I like the JDM goodies but if you were to look through a Option magazine or something, I doubt you'd see a lot of people sporting roof racks.
To each his or her, yes. I agree with that completely however, I am entitled to my opinion and my opinion is that bike racks, more often times than not, are an eyesore and detract from the overall look of a car....
I'm also of the opinion that a bike rack does not aid in performance and is also an asinine addition to an automobile if it is not being used for what yakima, thule, etc designed their products for...

this has been covered many times lol. when will we just let it go?
Because they are all drug dealers. They are transporting cocaine in the rails of the rack, right beneath your nose.
It isn't...
Honda-techdm is what it is...
I'm getting a hood rack for IA in July... that's what it was built for and what it will be used for...lol
If you don't use it to transport bikes, it is lame. Getting a bike rack for the look of it is like having a NOS bottle in your trunk with the lines leading nowhere.
UGA: Everybody is laughing at us this year.
^ Hey turd. A bike rack isn't just used for a bike to be transported. And I don't think anyone calls their roof rack JDM. It's just happens to be on a lot of Hondas.
And it may be a fad or something but maybe people just realized a bike rack looks good on most cars and it's cooler to carry something on a rack than a trunk.
haha i was goin to say somethin along thoes lines but u beat me to it assholeBecause they are all drug dealers. They are transporting cocaine in the rails of the rack, right beneath your nose.
but why can you say "its their car, they can do what they want with it"
then say "btw wide body kits on hondas=fail"?
"In classical logic, a contradiction consists of a logical incompatibility between two or more propositions. It occurs when the propositions, taken together, yield two conclusions which form the logical inversions of each other."
Just because it's their car and they can what they want doesn't make right....

Um, carry bikes and/or luggage maybe?
that is so obvious its almost not worth commenting, we all know that is its intended use.
but have you personally EVER witnessed these so called items strapped onto the roof of a lowered import?
I KNOW I havent
this will go round and round
Maybe I should start leaving my tire-tail on even when i'm not transporting tires. But hey, who knows, I might not even use the tire-tail to transport tires..eventhough that's all that will fit on it
So if someone with a coupe/sedan is using their bike rack to luggage, then WTF are they putting in their trunk?
I kinda agree with the OP, i've seen quite a number of cars "sporting" a bike rack with no bike on it...why not just tote around a trailer that's empty..i mean..there will be times when you'll be using the trailer..but just leave it on when you're not using it because you *could* be using it.

Yes, as a matter of fact, the one and only lowered import with a roof rack i have EVER personally winessed did have one of those so called items strapped to it.
Even if it didn't, I don't think it would get my panties in a bunch enough to make a thread about it online.
Isn't this the whole reason the WL exists? Hell, that's just about the point in every thread in here...
02' Miata
Yeah, and I've been thinking about the comment you made yesterday as to why you don't post up much.
TOTALLY makes sense....
there is no panty bunching here, only curiosity. the clicks and crews and fads that make up an import scene are as facinating to me as watching teenagers interacting with eachother in a highschool cafeteria. I personally dont give a fuck if the emo kids hate the jocks, or if the nerds are less cool than the geeks....
all if it is really silly if you really get down into it
I personally don't like them but they look good on the older accords. The boxed ones. But i don't see the point of having one if its not functionable or if you don't ride a bike. But to his or her own.
Posting on IA can be like driving in Atlanta traffic - Either you're one of the asshats that's driving around for no reason pissing everyone off (cutting the gord, not using blinkers, lane diving, tail gating, going slow in the left lane etc...) and you're too stupid to realize it....because you're stupid. The other group of you are the smart ones fighting your way through the asshattery to get to a destination and seeing the aforementioned asshattery only makes your head want to explode. The second group of people eventually end up "acting" like the asshats just to blend in..but have fun confusing them with things like "knowledge" and "wit"...just like the drivers who become jaded to Atlanta traffic and start f.ucking with people just to blen in and not get walked all over.Yeah, and I've been thinking about the comment you made yesterday as to why you don't post up much.
TOTALLY makes sense....
02' Miata
lol, click
clique?
^^^^ WOW
I have nothing add, I read it twice to try to figure it out and now my head hurts
great analogy mike LOL
Well, I think we just figured out which group you fall into since you can't understand what I said.
02' Miata
ohhh diss
hold on while I come up with an asshats comment just to blend in..but have fun confusing them with things like "knowledge" and "wit"
Hey man, you left yourself wide open on that one... don't fight it.

That's b/c in addition to doing what he wants with HIS car, he can also post his opinion about OTHER cars. See how this works? IN short --- who gives a fuck?
Wow---- Google much?? And further more... don't bring up classical logic bc classical logic was not used to start this clasically illogical thread.
You haven't?? Wow. So I guess you are the be-all-end-all to this scene huh? If YOU haven't seen it then it OBVIOUSLY doesn't happen.

Carlos (Formula) doesn't always have that bike rack on his car....As a matter of fact last time I saw the car, it was not sporting the rack.
On another note, I am so surprised that QD hasn't commented on this thread yet.
Now I like that. lol
