Caught? Like if I get caught putting a giant spoiler on my Cadillac? Sure it should be a crime but it's not. I did it in my front yard and it took 6 weeks to finish installing and painting it and all my neighbors saw me do it, and I'm here telling you about it. There's no caught because it was my Cadillac, my spoiler, and my own bad taste.

I also got a spoiler on my car. A bumper sticker that says "Bruce Willis was dead the entire time."

Even in Die Hard?

When I was a child, I used to make fun of Mexican low riders with crazy paint and spoilers. Then I went to Mexico and I realized I was an uncultured buffoon. Every car looked like the cars I saw in LA and the people spend countless hours modifying their cars.

Now I rejoice in people's car passion, no matter what you do to their cars.

and my own bad taste.

At least you don't make others suffer from your bad taste like bacteria who removes silencers from their exaust pipe.

Thank you, but my neighbors disagree. Fuck next door btw.
