Unhappy Bad photochop disgraces the RX-8
Might be a repost, but I didn't find anything when I used that nifty search function...

Saw this ad on the sidebar on facebook... made me sad...


Did a TinEye search and found a bigger version to find it's a terrible photochop... disturbed me... Would be angry if it was my car that was chopped...


Who would do this to an rx-8?!??!! Discuss!

That's my chop and my car when I first bought it. Was just messing around and now it's out there. Someone else has pointed the Facebook usage out to me.

Here's my original photo.

Haha yeah, I noticed the front drive shaft too. Heh.

I can't stand cars like that man. They just look ridiculous.

Another link to my chop. They are also bashing the RX-8 in general. Idiots have no clue what the RX-8 is about.

True story, but most of the bashing came from a guy by the name of 'douchebagboy.' Nuff said.

A friend of mine showed me this a while back on a website called "You Put Rims on That?"

http://www.youputrimsonthat.com/2010...-why/#comments

Funny thing is, I would assume most of the pictures on this site are real so it just goes to show how good of a shop it is. I would've thought it was real if altspace didn't prove otherwise.
