Yes, I failed because I was sober. I did scrape the bottom corner of my OEM passenger side skirt a while ago turning out of a parking lot. I didn't see the curb until the rear wheel went over it. I still cant get over the fact that I did that much damage to the bumper despite the fact of parking away from other cars.

Sad part is that it's probably faster than 90% of the RX-8's on this site.

eBay Towhook? Check
Obnoxious bosozoku style exhaust ? Check
Plastered with "illest" decals ? Check
Permanent windbrake spoiler ? Check
Set of wheels that costs more than entire car by itself ? Check
Bikerack but doesn't own a bike ? Check

Confirming to the stereotypical ricer image ? Totally check !

Hint: Don't take it seriously. It's a joke photoshop of a car nearly done being prepped for competitive time attack. No longer street driven.

Super Steelers Fan. Best part of this is the football styled side mirrors.
