The Altima is still inserted into my R3's rectum. With the Valentine in "All" I drop to 3rd and zoom. As I slow down from ### mph and the Altima eventually catches up. To my surprise they flash me not with their headlights but with what looked like a 12" multi color LED strip on the dash set to rainbow seizure. I guess they were trying to make me think they were a cop. . . . Since I have graduated from High School this was not my assumption...

As I laugh hysterically I reach a new level of amusement when they pass me. It was a silver 05-08' Altima with HOT PINK rims. I almost peed myself.
LOL... I'm going out tonight Ill try and find them and snap pics!

People do some dumb **** to their cars out here.

I found these two guys today. The first one is a Jeep with half the bumper made from duct tape, the second one is a chevy blazer with stock everything except he put in hood pins. Well he put in the posts but left the pins out.

I'd prefer pics of stuff you find out on the street.. But uhhh, I think the duct tape is worse, thats more noticeable.
Probably wont hold up well after he takes it off road again lol!

To be honest the cars out here look stupid as ****, that said they actually have quality work done to them. It's not rattle canned and what not, in LA its a whole different story.

I just noticed the "for sale by owner" sign and the fact that it's taped on the outside...

I thought it was kind of assumed that any car not for sale on a lot was for sale by owner.
