Car mods

Front wheel drive car with a spoiler

There are many examples of ludicrous modifications to cars, as personalization and customization are common practices in the automotive enthusiast community. However, one particularly absurd modification that comes to mind is the addition of excessively large and impractical spoilers or wings to cars that serve no functional purpose.

These spoilers are often disproportionately large compared to the size and performance of the vehicle, and they are typically mounted high above the rear of the car, resembling something out of a science fiction movie rather than a practical automotive accessory. Sometimes these wings are so large that they obstruct the driver's rear visibility or make it difficult to park the vehicle in a garage or tight space.

While spoilers can serve a functional purpose by improving aerodynamics and increasing downforce at high speeds, the exaggerated size and placement of these wings often have little to no impact on the vehicle's performance and may even detract from its overall handling and aesthetic appeal. Instead, they seem to be primarily for show, serving as attention-grabbing statements rather than functional enhancements.

Of course, personal taste in automotive modifications varies widely, and what one person may find ludicrous, another may find appealing. However, modifications that sacrifice functionality, safety, or practicality in favour of extreme aesthetics or attention-seeking behaviour can be considered ludicrous or over-the-top by many automotive enthusiasts.
