You know whats even worse. Them fake gucci interior and LV jobs i see every so often. What kind of man puts womans purse material on their headrest? The fuck On another note. If you drive honda (unless its pushing 500 hp) a neon or any domestic Dont put one of them ugly ass fiberglass looking trunk wings on your car. You dont need it and it looks like shit! thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kr430n5_666 Posted October 4, 2005 Author Share Posted October 4, 2005 I suppose I feel fine with the information I have recieved here. It obviously is a status symbol to many...If they are making watches and...clocks? what the fuck...then yeah...status. Car culture...basic adding of accessories...okay i understand that. However...if they cost thousands or whatever...come on. Thats a lot of money to watch some metal/steel/paper mache spin around. I believe it is more status than anything. Its like wearing a rolex or high end designer clothing i guess. You can get a fucking working watch from a 50 cent toy machines and nice looking clothes for hardly any money. but...to have the name...thats the shit. in this case...its not the name really...its the action...of spinning... People can buy whatever they desire. It does nothing really to me. However, lets look at this from a child's standpoint: "LOOK AT DAT! DEY R SPINNIN! WOW!" Perhaps that is the exact reaction a lot of young adults have too. Which could, in theory, claim that the mental devlopment in people commonly does not progress after a certain point. Who knows. Thank you everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fermentor666 Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 If someone gave them to me for free, I'd put them on my car. But I think they'd look pretty stupid on a Protege.

shai Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 MARKETING. FOCUS GROUPS. In Oakland, little kids take tinfoil and wrap it around the spoke pairs on their bike wheels. The ones with extra bling actually take four extra wheels, give them all the treatment and somehow bolt them onto both sides of the front and rear axles....thus, the "hexacycle" is born. A common variation oon the "hexacycle" is "the sparka", when there's no tires on any of the six wheels..but there's tinfoil for days...AND THEY SPINNIN'!!!!! This should answer why this is done....MARKETING. FOCUS GROUPS. MARKETING. FOCUS GROUPS. MARKETING. FOCUS GROUPS. MARKETING. FOCUS GROUPS. MARKETING. FOCUS GROUPS. MARKETING. FOCUS GROUPS. MARKETING.

FOCUS GROUPS. MARKETING. FOCUS GROUPS. Personally, I think spinners are gayer than eight guys giving nine guys a blowjob...or, what Master Shake has to say. Some local history... In Oakland, back in the sixties, some black folks realized that the tobacco and liquor companies were advertising heavily in the ghetto, especially near schools and playgrounds. They knew about a dangerous intersection (55th and West) where several people had been killed and lobbied the city to install a traffic light there. They also realized that a lot of the families were too poor to feed their kids in the morning, so they started an independent free breakfast program. They noticed the drug problem was out of control in the community, and ran the dealers out. They realized that the city knew about all of these things, and had elected to not do anything about it. These poeple actually cared enough to try and do something positive for their community, "by any means neccessary," and when it became clear that The Man considered it militant ideology for black people to take care of their own, they took up arms in self defense. And now, I live less than a mile from 55th and West... and...THEY RIDIN' SPINNAS...RIDIN' SPINNAS...DON'T STOP... What would they think?

nomadawhat Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Spinners are pretty much a here and now status symbol like so much stupid shit to come before them. Too many idiots live for the here and now and don't think of the future. Everyone wants the hot, hip, cool and lastest shit. And when the latest fad becomes passe because its something sooo many people have, as well as crossing over into "uncool" portions of the population (or people actually realize how stupid it looks) its on to next in the line of what can top that... what cost money that will make me stick out and be an individual (haha, right).....and usually that item is going to be some ridiculous, useless piece of crap that adds that flash and bling but little else. Spinners are jsut the latest in that line.. before it was rims that stuck out 5 inches, then daytons, tv headrest, hydralics... and thats just in the car culture... and like you said this is a phenom for all area of consumerism, clothes, jewlery, electronics... Materialistic, short-sighted and cosumeristic brain washed people want what they think will make them stand out from the rest of their peers and adored by the same demograpic of the opposite sex. Bigger and badder... human nature for sheep. **and whats the deal with spinner watches, shoes and pendants.. none of those producst are originally designed to spin...so why add a spinner...?? idiots.

Get a real fucking job and do something with your fucking life. (Note: Selling drugs is not "doing something" with your life...) Yeah, five thousand dollar rims on a shitbox are funny. That's a black thing. BUT - How does that affect you negatively? Why does the hate flow so freely in your blood? I'm not a fan of spinners, but if someone wants to go buy them and stick 'em onto a car, they can go right ahead. Spend them dollars - it is what keeps the economy going, like it or not. I think spinners are a marvel of ingenuity in the car culture. I can't see myself ever going that outlandish with a ride, but to each their own. When will the "I hate stamp collectors" or "FUCK model airplane builders" threads be released? Quoted post [/b] This isnt hating purely to hate. It doesnt affect me negatively in any sort of direct way either. My hate is directed at the sad fact that Blacks are allowing themselves to be played by pop music and allowing it to completely dictate their lives and priorities. What the fuck do you need this shit for? What the fuck are you blowing all your money on fucking clothes and shit? To impress hoodrats? You and all your boys are rocking the same gear and pulling the same schemes so you can front like youre supposed to be on TRL later today promoting your new video. God it's so fucking sickening that the people who run this country are able to coerce you daily into doing just what they want, especially when it comes to things like keeping poor blacks poor and in housing. There is NO fucking way that anyone should be ok with that. Spinners are just one example.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GnomeToys Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Dirty Habit speaks the truth on the performance parts. If I'm going to blow money on a vehicle I'd rather have the outside look like absolute shit but be able to hit 200 something miles per hour without blinking. Sometime I'm planning on getting an RX7 to play with. Rotary engines, baby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quoted post car culture...yes i understand that...although car culture is very popular within the "hiphop" culture, which i believe is very apparent. and yes people do allow material possesions to be their trophies as to how great their life is even if it is absolutely wretched, which i find comical in certain scenarios. a dirty man with a filthy, low-budget home in the middle of a shitpile owns a very very expensive car in which he uses to drive into the city to pick up some broads then brings them back to his horrid domicile. its the same thing as seeing some images of a brand new stereo on ebay, buying the stereo, and recieving a shoebox full of used condoms in the mail. fronting is pathetic ---- by the way, high five.
