In this episode, Ideal takes a stand against ten car trends that are in desperate need of extinction. From the nonsensical fake engine noises in electric cars to the utterly pointless fake vents, the team leaves no stone unturned in their quest for automotive sanity. They call out the trend of underperforming off-road trucks and the ridiculous Carolina squats that seem to defy all logic. The channel shines a light on the dangers of installing improper LED bulbs that can blind other drivers, emphasizing the importance of safe and responsible vehicle modifications.

BMW's peculiar rearview camera system integrated into the badge is scrutinized for its unnecessary complexity, questioning the need for such over-engineered features. The team expresses disdain for the Carolina squat trend, likening the lifted trucks to failed wheelies stuck halfway up. They also delve into the world of slabs and swangas, critiquing the excessive modifications that veer into the realm of absurdity. Jeep owners are cautioned against ruining their off-road vehicles with cheap plastic headlight covers, urging them to maintain the rugged aesthetic that Jeeps are known for.

The discussion extends to the issue of fake badges, with a particular focus on the prevalence of fake M badges on BMWs and the misleading practice of up-badging lower trim models. The team also condemns the use of fake performance pieces, such as nonfunctional vents and exhausts, both in aftermarket modifications and factory-equipped vehicles. Additionally, the dangers of completely blacking out essential lights like brake lights are highlighted as a hazard to both the driver and other road users. The episode concludes with a plea to car enthusiasts to preserve the diesel legacy by avoiding practices like rolling coal, which not only harm performance and the environment but also tarnish the reputation of diesel vehicles as a whole.
