lol, interesting choice of words.
i've also seen plenty tasteless mods carried out by people with more money than sense. it's not a hard and fast rule. but you can always see that once a "luxury" vehicle drops below $20k on the used market, the relative amount of ebay-special mods goes up.

It's not my term, it's an auto dealer and finical industry term.

Subprime is a finical industry term for folks with a credit score below 640-650. It's what you are considered to be if you can't get a conventional low interest loan. The buy here pay here lots specialize in catering to subprime borrowers, often with terms like they are required to pay and have low jack installed so the dealer can recover the car in the event of non payment....

Those folks are double penalized, old car, high interest rates usually north of 15%, and lots of repairs when they can ill afford the interest and repairs.
