You can tell a lot about a person not only by their shoes but also by their car. After all, there are so many choices — some people prefer used ones, others opt for shiny autos rolled straight out of the dealership. But there’s a whole other category of enthusiasts who want their ride to stand out so much, they choose to do the most bizarre improvements money could buy.

And there’s an online group on Reddit dedicated to calling them out. Members of this community are on a mission to share pictures of terrible car modifications that show what stupidity on wheels really looks like. While we can agree that taste is subjective, some of these rides would have been better off the road.

From real pieces of junk to vehicles stuck in the plot of the first The Fast and the Furious movie, we wrapped up some ridiculous pictures from this subreddit for you to enjoy. So take a look below, upvote the ones that surprised you most and let us know what you think about them in the comments!
