Classic in da hood syndrome.

Bunch of them in Detoilet, Michigan. Good thing I moved out a while ago.

Signs of In Da Hood syndrome:
Making minimum wage, pawn off everything you own at American Jewelry and Loan, buy some 24 bling blings with rubber band tires, ride along 8 mile trying to impress chicks, since having 24 inch blings makes the chicks think that you're some high roller rapper, which ultimately leads to the owner's ultimate goal to get laid.

It may sound stereotypical, but sadly, it is true..... It doesn't matter what car it is, if you don't got the bling, you ain't getting the tush.

I wouldn't say anything to them, since I don't want a cap in my azz.

And some places will rent tires and wheels. That way teh boyz don't have to come up with cash up front. $100 now and $100 a month. Do a couple drug deals each month and pay da man.

Too bad the owner decided to ruin the looks of the car with those incredibly crappy looking wheels.
