10 Things You Must Never Do As A Respected Car Guy
Worried that your massive wing and cheap bling may prompt people to label you a ‘ricer’? Fear not, for it takes a lot of bad choices to truly deserve that title. If, however, you can relate to five or more of these tell-tale signs, we have bad news for you…
1. The Fart Cannon
If you can count your cylinders on one hand, chances are, your ride will sound like a wheezy lawnmower with one of these attached. Definitely avoid this.

Bonus telltale sign: Dual exhaust de-cat setup on a 4-pot.
2. Clear/Lexus-style taillights
It’s hard to understand why these lamps were so popular in the early 2000s. Too much Fast and Furious, perhaps?

Bonus telltale sign: Excessive fog lights (preferably yellow).
3. Cut springs
Ruining your shocks and ride quality has never been easier. Make sure you have less than an inch clearance as well…

Bonus telltale sign: Pair your cut springs with excessive negative camber.
4. Cluttered dashboard
Your standard dashboard is fine just the way it is. So why you insist on installing gauges to gauge how your gauges are gauging is beyond us!

Bonus telltale sign: Metal floor mats.
5. Outrageous paint job
Just because an Audi R8 looks great in lime green, does not mean the same applies to your Corsa.

Bonus telltale sign: Tribal vinyls.
6. Fake badges
Few things in life are more pointless than sticking an M badge on the back of a 318i.

Bonus telltale sign: Clashing manufacturers.
7. Revving at the lights
If you don’t want your embarrassed passenger to sink into his seat, avoid revving at the lights at all costs.

Bonus telltale sign: Using your 2-step launch control in traffic. (calling those two Honda drivers in Sengkang!)
8. Shouting at other road users
If you shout stupid things at other road users and pedestrians, then you, Sir, are an idiot.

Bonus telltale sign: Honking at women. (in SG's case, woman honking at HDB blocks)
9. Massive sound system
You’ve doubled the value of your car by changing the stereo and now you want everyone else to know? Great.

Bonus telltale sign: Sub takes up 80 per cent of your boot space.
10. You detach the wheel while driving
This is, by far, the most pointless and worst driving violation you can make. Never let it get this damn far.

Bonus telltale sign: Hanging it out of the window.
