Boy racers refer to teenage boys or young adult^{[citation needed]} men who "cruise" around in vehicles modified with loud exhausts and stereos, or modified body kits. This behavior is frowned upon by members of the public irritated by the noise and the criminal behavior associated with it, including violence by Neo-Nazi "boy racers". Many cars are cosmetically modified in an unlawful manner. Car enthusiasts who drive sporty cars, or those modified to perform better, typically seek to distance themselves from the culture. Responses to the boy racer problem range from laws prohibiting the antisocial activities they engage in to vigilante actions such as spraying expander foam, a common building supply, into boy racer cars with loud "big-bore" exhaust tips to stop such cars driving around emitting loud droning noises which is illegal and highly disrespectful to their property.^{[clarification needed]}

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.
