boy racer
A boy racer is a motorist who drives an automobile that has been modified with aftermarket body kits, audio system and exhaust system, usually in an unlawful manner. It can also means a compact sporty coupe that is heavily modified for racing. Wealthier motorists who drive sports cars, or those with costly modifications, often seek to distance themselves from the culture. Responses to the boy racer phenomenon range from laws prohibiting cosmetic modifications to vehicles such as decorative lighting and window tint, restrictions on recreational driving ("cruising"), to vandalism such as spraying expanding foam into cars with loud "big-bore" exhaust tips to stop such cars driving around emitting loud droning noises.〔(ABC: 'Phantom Expander' targets New Zealand hoons )〕

Publications for boy racers included ''Max Power'', ''Fast Car'', ''New Zealand Performance Car Magazine'', ''MTV's'' ''Pimp My Ride'' and ''The Fast and the Furious'' as well as DVD publications and television shows.
Boy racers are typically known for speeding away from traffic lights, playing loud music, and revving their engines rather than actual street racing.〔(Grantham Journal: Car seized in 'boy racer' crackdown )〕 A typical boy racer is seen as a young man who sits very low in his seat and wears a beanie, baseball cap and/or hoodie.〔(Wairarapa Times-Age: Young enthusiasts say "we're not boy-racers" )〕〔(Wanganui Chronicle: Boy racers worry St John's Hill residents ) 〕
