Ditto on the peeling paint on ricers. It seems like most of those kids have never heard of surface prep and flex additives
Most seem to come from the "louder is faster" camp too. Oh well, back when I was in high school in the early 80's, everyone seemed to be running air shocks and cherry bomb exhaust on their Monte Carlos and we thought that was cool.
At least some of them are doing their own wrenching and eventually they'll figure it out after they replace their valvetrain.
