Crowd control...

Here the cops turn the streets they drive around on into a pedestrian street(that can't be the correct word can it, a street where it's only allowed to walk). Works like a charm

It's usually followed by a small rebellion though, but seriously, who cares about what people driving around in a pimped Volvo 240 thinks?

You know, I've never really noticed it that much, but when I do it's (non-white) immigrants. But I'd have thought community ties would be stronger there, so why is such behaviour encouraged in such groups? Curious.

At a guess ...Leave a prescription for viagra on their window and a swedish penis pump on the bonnet?

How do you know that they are immigrants ?

Then again you may have a point , there is one immigrant fella at work that drives an absolute heap , a multi coloured Fiat Tempera estate that might just be worth as much as 50 euros at the scrap yard . The sound system in it would be worth about 3000 though .
He isn't white either , more of a sort of pinky creamy colour .

Its like every other car here... bloody SUVs with 20k $ Sound Systems and Hydraulics. If I really, really, really wanted too I could put all of these people under the turf but being an eco minded, friendly individual I just ignore it for the most part. Though the noise ban after 9pm is strictly enforced, and the Police around here drool for the opportunity to slap a 1000 (minimum) to 5000 (maximum) US Dollar fine on the Upper Middle Class wannabe Gangstas. Most take it because they think they can afford it. But the 3rd Fine is an automatic revocation of their license for 2 years.

Here in Belgium, It's certainly not only the 'immigrants' or to use a better term the third or fourth generation immigrants that drive these cars. There are at least the same amount of 'natives' that pimp their ride with an ear popping sound system.

How do we look upon them? We mostly tolerate them and wait untill they grow out of it.
