Darkness, the flickering of snowflakes in headlights, a tumult of emergency flashers, scraping plows, gruff men in insulated pants bent against the wind: Through this brunt emerges a beacon, a carbon-shimmer of style and speed and je ne sais quoi.
Such must be the attitude of whoever installed this preposterous ricer wing on his mid-90s Honda Civic and then went out into the blizzard we had last night. The car also featured a quad-exit exhaust and the requisite shizzy wheels and poorly-chosen suspension. It was crawling along the highway behind a plow crew. We were tempted to pass it (sideways) but instead elected to capture the locus of its failure (or, if you prefer simpler terms, the thing that made the car look the stupidest).
Similar observations will be the subject of the new weekly column “On Patrol,” which will appear on Mondays.
