Being in the car game is awesome as a car enthusiast. We see some pretty cool stuff from the high-level performance cars to the middle-class tuner heroes. However, there is that one crowd most of us know that takes the wrong route in an effort to improve their car in any way possible. The "to each their own" premise is still in effect for this video, but let's be real here sometimes you gotta take a step back and reflect.

There are aisles at Autozone we all know to avoid. For example, let's talk about the classic fork can exhaust. This is even something non-car people know about. There's that one teenager who thinks sound equals fast. We've all been there when we first get into the car game; it's easy to fall into this mindset. However, I'm not talking about those fancy imports with fart cans; I'm talking about the $50 special from eBay or Autozone that turns your single candy series into a violent beehive defending Winnie the Pooh.

Hopefully, they come to their senses and get a real exhaust system if that is what they end up going for. There's nothing wrong with upgrading one's car, but there's a fine line between aesthetics and functionality. Fake hood vents are another example of this issue. I'm no stranger to fake hood scoops; I had a 2002 Mustang GT with a glorious gargantuan fake cooling system that did absolutely nothing.

We all know that the Challenger also has fake RAM air scoops aside from the Mach 1 and a few other muscle cars. Many of these so-called cooling systems weren't real until the 2013 models for most part. Meanwhile, you have people like Subaru and Mitsubishi laughing at their face for the poser status. Nothing is worse than seeing that car with all the fake chrome trim, fake RAM air scoops, and anything else you get your bling on from that aisle might feel cool to put on your car at first.

But fantasy bodywork doesn't make you an expert in bodywork if there is an air ramp GUP. It should be functional. Now let's move on to the next example: neon. Neon lights have been around for a while, and they've gained popularity over the years, especially during the Fast and Furious era with the Need for Speed Underground games. My 13-year-old self wanted neon lights so bad back then.

During that era, I couldn't sit here and tell you that I didn't want my car to be a mobile version of the Music Festival's Electric Daisy Carnival and ultra combined and Paul Walker had it. It was all about having the coolest ride on the road, and cars just seemed like an extension of your personality back then. However, it seems like bikes for some reason we're always able to pull off this look more than cars if anything.

It keeps them safer and easier to spot, so I really never understood why it was so illegal other than the obvious colors of blue and red. During the era of underglow, you would bring your car into the shop in case of state inspection. The inspector would give you the facepalm of the car gods and fail you for inspection.

Now let's talk about carbon fiber tape. Carbon fiber is one of the most revolutionary materials in the modern world. You have supercar companies like Lamborghini, Ferrari, McLaren, Kona zag, and others who have an absolute carbon-fiber fetish. However, it's not just for their cars; there are people out there using it to our advantage as much as we can with our hoods and things such as that for a little bit of weight reduction if we have the opportunity.

However, there's always the easy way out with this awesome basically duct tape that has a similar pattern to carbon fiber printed on it and BAM! You're automatically as light as a supercar. That might sound like an exaggeration, but let me tell you, when done right, it can be almost as effective as the real thing.

Now let's move on to the last example: the turbo whistle. A turbocharger creates what's called force induction and in the nutshell makes more power. It also sounds quite unique; it makes me giggle like a little schoolgirl. However, for some people there seems to be an alternative if they can't afford it and they just want the sound.

It's basically the combination of a hairdryer and a dog whistle if the human ear could hear frequency that high in nutshell you attach it to your exhaust tip and voila! You have imaginary boost that will scare everybody away or they think sorry dude, you're not fooling anybody. But hey, at least it makes you happy with your car. It's your car, and it's your taste, even if it doesn't agree with mine.

Oh, and last but not least, let's talk about electric superchargers. They are dumb. That might sound a bit harsh, but I genuinely believe they're unnecessary. The logic behind them is unclear to me; they seem like a gimmick rather than an actual improvement to your car's performance.
