I haven't read all 130 pages, and maybe something like this is on here, but I had to share. This is chopped, cuz I couldn't get a snap off. The guy was behind me this morning on the way to work.

Destroying a perfectly good vehicle. Why not take a suspension that is performance tuned to a great extent such as a Porsche and just destroy it? Then take it a step further and attack the paint... so sad.

This was NOT photoshopped. I actually saw the truck from the front, and the brother had OEM black/ red leather RX-8 seats in there- full with the rotary headrests and everything.

He pulled into the garage too fast for me to snap a picture from the front. But, this was quite a sight...
So, did he drop in a 3 rotor too?

just spotted this gem earlier today!
When I first noticed the rear fender, I thought it was some kind of joke or that he was concealing a dent but when I noticed it was on both sides I realized this guy was for real.

It's even a fellow Mazda owner.

the sad part is I have no doubt that the person did in fact think he was being stylish!

That is sweet, you don't see too many FWD drift cars. It's the downforce from the spoiler that makes it possible, as any ricer can tell you. And two spoilers are always better than one.
