In their defense the saleen focus comes like that, they didn't do it to their car.

In my defense. Who would buy that?

I seem to remember it came with a nitrous kit installed and it still wasn't all too fast.

What is it with all the jackweeds buying body kits and then lacking the patience to save up a bit more money to get them painted BEFORE they put them on their cars. I will never understand it. Do people really think making their cars look like they just pieced it together from the flee market is a good thing?

pdx: I hope so but around here the "drifter" scene (aka it's suddenly okay to make your car look like *** but you think it's cool ) is growing so part of me wouldn't doubt that is the end result.

oh, and the red tint on those rear lights...
he's SOOOOO getting pulled over the second a cop sees him.

95% of the RX-8's on social media belong in this page. That includes all those Facebook and Instagram "rotary" pages that have popped up the past year or two.

+1. Includes most of the RX7s on those pages too. Playing off the words of a certain Chief Justice...I can't define "taste", but I know when an owner doesn't have any.

Thanks Vipers....



These are all taken in San Bernardino, Ca









Such a huge set of wheels and the flop inserts looks ridiculous.

You are correct Godfather of verbosity. Good spot of this test for readers. You win a case of applause.

Hard to tell for sure. Picture wasn't taken on a track. In some ways it looks like a caged car with aero designed to make it look like a track car. The stretched street tires with extreme negative camber possibly designed just to make it fit while being slammed isn't convincing. If it's a streeted car...as the license plate suggests, unless the owner is anti-social and likes finding detours around every speed bump, raised driveway entrance or chuck-hole, I think it would qualify as "what not to do".

The "Richard Simmons" edition of the Cayenne. It goes alright, but it's gay, probably smells like an armpit and no one would want to be seen standing next to it.
