Cardboard "rice rocket" (by MrEricSir)

The neighbors and their friends did this to their car.

I just realized the cardboard air intake is gone, it was taped to the hood yesterday. Probably blew off in the wind.

That's way better than the duct tape racing stripes I wanted to put on my Festiva back in high school.

Maybe I could make a paper mache spoiler for my car.

What's a rice rocket?

I first heard the term "rice rocket" used to describe fast Japanese motorcycles. A few years later, people started using it to describe Japanese cars that have been enhanced with turbo chargers, spoilers, body kits, etc.

Kinda. It's any import that people fix up to make it look faster and cooler but none of the hardware is actually changed.

Because you know how important it is to get a spoiler to keep yourself on the ground in a fackucking sedan that tops at 110 mph.

Fact: if you take off the spoiler and turn it upside down, your car becomes an airplane.

Fact: If you turn your engine backwards you go in reverse all the time.

Fact: When you drive in reverse, your car sucks exhaust out of the air and turns it back into gasoline.

Fact: When you're going backwards, you're actually moving at negative velocity.

Scientists just don't want to admit it so they can maintain their prestige.

Spoilers do spoil the look of the car. I find them to be very effective.
