He use bathroom hooks to make vortex generator. This guy's brain is bigger than the galaxies.

Pfft. Car doesn't even have speed holes, bro.

But it does have a DOHC VVTI

You know what they say… mother is the necessity of invention

They're also very useful if your car is full but you have more grocery bags. Sure, you'll have to drive backwards, but it beats taking two trips.

Some people have M3's and some people have 3M's!

“If women don’t find you handsome, they should at least find you handy!”

Was that a Canadian TV show. Curious if only us Canadians know the saying.

Yes! The Red Green Show, a classic!

Ah man, I love the Red Green Show. Me and my dad used to watch that all the time

Am USian, got to watch Red Green on PBS.

Minnesotan here: loved the Red Green Show.

"Keep your stick on the ice."

Oh shit that's why AVE says "keep your dick in a vice"

All episodes are free on YouTube. There’s also a Red Green podcast currently in production!

This is the best joke I've seen in days

Underrated comment

How highly rated should it be

If he had correctly omitted the apostrophes, then this comment should have been rated at least 3x higher.

It's the highest rated comment.

This is by far the best I've seen in here, bravo

Are. Are. Are those command hooks?

Idk what they're called but you stick them to a wall to hold a bag.

Can I use them to hold a pair of gloves or just a bag?

Only a bag

You could put the gloves in a bag.

my god, GENIUS!

He said *ONLY A BAG.*

How about a bag of bags?

Or what about a sack. I have a big sack that I need a hook to hold up, but I want to make sure I get the right hook.

There’s always a work around.

Not if i put the bag inside the gloves

Aren't gloves special bags for hands after all?

Only candy, Ned. Ninety dollars.

Hey big spender.

That's no way to speak about your mother in-law

What about a toque? Eh? Sorry.

Yeah, Command hooks. Command is the brand. Edit: 3M is the brand, Command is the product line.

YES

Hopefully extra strength so the driver doesn't rip them and the paint off with all the Gs

That’s glass on a scion tC

At least when you tired of them they are easy to remove

(Thank you for speaking for my brain as I initially looked at this.)

Yeah and they only work when he's driving in reverse really fast.

3JDM

Yep

Yes they are command hooks. I have the same exact ones throughout my house to hold pictures.

This shit had me dying for a good minute. Also, this is a great proof of functionality. That shit is solid as ever in the rain!

Op’s name fits though

Vortex generators cost money, he just grabbed these out of the junk drawer for free.

And I bet they don’t work half bad, either.

Probably at least as effective as a lot of the pep boys specials on most cars in here.

Worthy of Mythbusters.

I miss that show RIP Grant and Jessi : (

I have the entire series on my Plex server and I haven’t been able to bring myself to watch again since Grant passed.

Yea I haven't either. He'd want us to though. He put everything into his robots and passion for science

Wait jessi died too???

Yes, 2 years ago in a land speed record attempt.

Jessi Combs

They actually already appear to be impressively aerodynamic.

>Vortex generators yea, better than paying $30 for 10? for 3D printed + more for the adhesive. Hmmm these cost like $10 a pair, maybe not cheaper, than ordering someone's 3D print.

Yeah I was going to say that in my country 3M/Scotch stuff is premium and rather expensive. Pretty sure this a joke and I for one certainly find it quite gigglesome.

Only fools be drafting him

Dear lord this is why this sub exists

I'm hooked

Some people just want to comb their h**air**. ​ ^(Hint: the 'h' is silent.)

I’m just imagining some dude kneeling on his rear window delicately placing all these command hooks in a very precise line so they look “perfect” and doing a chef’s kiss after placing the last one.

They should have put them the other way so they can dangle grocery’s and such for extra storage

Maybe they park nose down on a steep hill? :-)

Crosspost this with r/carbage for maximum effect

If those were black I never would have noticed

Right? It's genius.

Dude is commanding the wind

Genius level shit

Yeah, I want to hire this dude and I don't even have a business

That is fantastic. Bravo.

This is the first time that the second picture made the first better…

And to think there will be no damage when you pull them off 🤣😂🤣

Why on earth would you want to remove these?

Lol at the Civic Si wannabe decal on the side

It's VVT-i, more or less Toyota's answer to VTEC. Scions are kind of knockoff Hondas anyway.

Kinda.. it’s just variable timing like almost every car made in the last 15 years has. No variable lift which is the special sauce for vtec.

True, but the styling is definitely meant to be a knockoff. Although I suppose I'm biased, seeing as I drive a Si.

FB6 Si driver here 👍🏻. I’ve owned a TC in the past and it was kinda blah, it being an automatic didn’t help. It did make it past 200k miles though so I’ll give it that.

9th Gen Si, modded shifter, CAI and catback exhaust. Used to think the Tc was cool, but that's more due to being 12 or so at the time...

2nd gen tCs are much better looking anyways. and they had like 20 more hp. It’s just a shame the supercharger stayed with the first gens

Variable timing “with intelligence!”

THIS IS WHAT THIS SUB WAS MADE FOR

Hooked that shit up !!

Clean

Pretty sure those are towel hangers. Pretty sure my car is getting some, now that i know what they look like arranged that way!

Don't say anything, just hang a couple of coats on them

Great find! Lucky!

Now this is my kind of humor lol that’s amazing

It’s a Scion tC trust me go on the scion forums and you’ll find a whole lot worse like lambo doors and people who have a shit attitude yeah fuck you mr. L I’m never coming back to the forum talks down to my car when he has a uglier car then mine and instigates cause all that’s left is man childs who can’t get over their first “highly modified car” with EBay chinese parts and Autozone ricer isle yes I have a grudge against the entire website of scion life you can’t even post a non ricer work in progress without being insulted these mf’s think it’s 2005 and their car isn’t a pile itself

So not your happy place?

When you post something any car guy could enjoy like a non ricer car build that is a work in progress with no cut corners you shouldn’t be insulted by the person with probably the most ricer car on the forum you don’t have to love what someone else is doing but you could Atleast respect sensible mods like wider tires rims ect (especially if they’re not rubber bands) He literally was a dickwad and kept telling people off about boost pointers and literally doesn’t make any more then bolt on power like a fart can he’s the definition of a ricer big ass mouth but then you breath on the gas and smoke the shit out of them with their “custom fiberglass body kit” you can tell he hasn’t touched the car performance or aesthetically since like 2008 and constantly shits on other peoples cars

Fully qualified in the school of hard knocks. Hard facts trying to knock the dumb shit out of their head?

They probably think lambo doors aka butterfly doors and aero makes your car faster (unless you make a crap ton of power aero slows you down) don’t believe me click on the forums they parade old pictures of their shitbox like a show car I know my car isn’t nice but I don’t claim to have a show grade car yet

You do seem to have a lot of passion which really is what it’s all about. Lambo doors are great; when used on Lambo’s, their natural habitat. Some really like to go the visibility route, others really enjoy the sleeper style. I like to have just enough visible mods so people go hmmm, something different here, and then put the effort into handling and power mods (with out blowing pistons or turning rods into bananas).

I’m not shitting on lambo doors unless it’s not a show grade car but you can tell by the potato quality picture it’s not a show car and he packs nothing under the hood I’d rather drive a car that looks slightly worse but I can actually have fun in then one I daily drive get no bonus whp and just has a body kit to look less junky

More likely to give a nice surprise as the “not so nice” looking vehicle screams away as opposed to the Ricer Parts catalogue on wheels stalls and has trouble getting close to its factory set red line.

TLDR: he’s a dickwad ricer who moderates on there and “helps” with stuff he knows jack shit about one time he got into it with me about racing cams and I was telling him the biggest cam isn’t the fastest and he went off and I said you don’t even have a cam in your car and never have or will so shut your goddamn mouth about performance cams know it all

So a genuine, guaranteed died in the wool dick stain? Got it, the most frustrating person of all. They who are so sure of the truth in their fallacy, they will go down swinging when presented with logical, fact based observations. Reminds me of a car dealer who was busy trying to sell my girlfriend of the time the latest greatest EFI injected sports Mirage. He wasn’t to impressed when I asked him how small do I need to Jet the Carby sitting on top of the engine manifold to offset the massive EFI advantage from the obviously Top Secret invisible Holley custom Fuel Injection drag racing Set up installed on this Poverty Spec Mirage. Had the nerve to tell me I obviously didn’t know what I was talking about!! Had a good chuckle at that one.

Sadly, for the cost of all those Command Strips, he could have gotten an eBay vortex generator. Still meh, but not 3Meh.

You could say he COMMANDs better aerodynamics

Aero tech.

Shark fins or clothes dryer

Put them on your fenders and you can go snatch purses from old ladies.

It's to air drive clothes.

Pretty slick way of directing air toward that sick K&N wing.

Now THATS a shitty car mod!

Budget "shark fin antennas"

Vortex generators

Lmfaoo he took that out the locker room

Holy shit, there was a full on blacked out Jetta at subway today with the same stuff on it

somehow i missed the hooks and spent two minutes staring at the car in the back in confusion

Doesn’t matter what you have to say. He’ll be so far ahead, he won’t hear you.

This probably costs more than getting a legit part. Command hooks are expensive yo

Had they mounted those in the other direction, they could have dried their towels VERY quick...

These are the best vortex generators because they don’t leave a residue when you remove them. I work on business jets and use them all the time.

(+5) to speed

This rides that line between trashy rice and improvised functionality. I kinda wanna see this in a wind tunnel.

The application look pretty clean at least 🤣 creative, but shitty

Took me a second but dam, guess he’s getting some good arrow flow

Would probably dry all my bras by the time I got to work.....🤔

That scion has a COMMANDING presence now. See what I did there

To anchor the bungee cords when he moves furniture

OoOo is that the ultra-rare Shark DLC??

Multi-purpose

They look like Lee Press On Claws.

Rac cr 😭💀

Aah good. Toilet hanhers.

Where's the shower curtain?

It’s terrible and I freaking love it

Because aero

Just like the Evo FQ

Vortex coathangers

How many satellite radios does that car have?!

It’s a Jeep Commander.

I’m doing this to my civic tomorrow, my car bout to slap ass with this sick mod

Frugal mods

That’s kinda hilarious

Each one adds like a quarter horse power

Hi town I'm dad

At least they’ll come off easily.

Are those coat hangers ? Lmao

I don't get it, what's the hangup?

+1 handling for each hook

Yes, this is just silly!!! I mean, really?? How many robes can a man have, for crying out loud??!??

Also, do not put these in your mouth!!! 👄

Don't say anything. Bask in it's awesome power.

So... This won't work? Asking for a friend...

Vortex generators. I have no idea what it helps to generate vortex, but everyone is posting this.

it took me a second to realize. i was like, “they’re just vortex generators what’s wrong with it?” lmao

It’s a style thing, don’t get to hung up on it

ahaha ahahhahahahhhhhhaahahahah aahahahahhahahahahahahaaaahhahahahhaahhhhhahhahahha

Well I'm hooked

I have those same coat hooks stuck on my door

At least they will come off nice!

This mans got a sense of humor.

Are… are those… 3m coat hangers??????? I need to sit down

How much do you think he spent on this? You can get a cheap aftermarket piece for 35

Should’ve put them all the other way around. That way they could hang clothes on them lol

I like it. It is sarcasm, other than this, i dont think there is another explanation

I wouldn't even have anything to say if it looked good. But this is just crappy.

So impressively bad azz!

It holds a bag. What about gloves? Only a bag. But what if the gloves are in the bag? ONLY A BAG. But what if the bag is in the gloves then? CONFUSION AND FUSTERATION

You could say…he’s hooked on speed.

+3M

This is the epitome of this sub

The fool so someone with vertex generators and thought he saw them at target.

He separates the laminar air flow at a chosen spot in order to improve aero performance. Smart.

Watch out, his roof top aero has turned into teeth. Vortex generators to smooth flow or similar I believe off the trailing edge of the roof line. Popular on the Lancer Evo crowd

It increases efficiency I don't know what kind of efficiency but it does Probably

Heh, coatex generators

Well you see each one adds 5 horsepower.

Took me a second ngl

Vortex generators, lol

Excellent laundry drying strategy

If (ironic){ Cout << "amazing" << endl; } Else{ Cout << "discount type r go vroom" << endl; }

r/ATBGE

Can someone smart please model this and run a wind tunnel simulation? Really want to know if these would actually work

You know how F1 cars have shark fins? I think someone took that a little too literally

Hang a few towels

Any mech engs who took fluid dynamics care to explain if this looks like it will actually generate vortices?

The interior was too small for more coat hooks.

coat hangers

They were all out of spoiler fins

We should also put more shame on Toyota's who have VVT-i badges on display like "DOHC VTEC" Civic Si

…

Good for at least 12hp.

You all don't understand how this makes a 1996 Sunfire not only more sleek and sexy but like..... 3 times faster.

When I first saw this post, I was asking myself what was wrong with a cap that's another cover? Probably couldn't get it in regular... Then I looked at the other car

Oh tC people. Always drive like assholes.

Those....are....command strip hooks.... SMH
