Just don't.

Edit - for a while, I thought that the bike was actually mounted too......
The weird thing is that it's supposed to be a furniture exhibition(I can read Chinese, and the English part just happens to be obscured by the car).

The fak is the car doing there?

Yup. Part of the pressure plate lodged in the cowl.
Good advertisement for a ballistic transmission blanket when revving to 11,000 RPM.

The lights in wheel well kit should have been stock on the RX-8 GT.

You: an owner of a Cadillac ETC just sitting around. Idea: Turn that ETC into the best combi-vehicle shaming El Camino and Ranchero wannabe AND haul stuff around.

Could be the next Minilanche?



Ride in comfort and style with the Mini Me version of the Avalanche. This Caddy Zigs!

Has anyone else noticed that the license plate from this picture on the first page of the thread says "spaghetti"??? Cleverly disguised as a normal California plate.
