stock wheels + 6 inch lift = recipe for disaster! That'd be a sick set up if he had some swampers on there

stock height would have about 4-6 inches of wheel gap. thats about 12 inches, 12 - 6 = 6.. Dunno, trucks are a tiny bit different from RX8s

Maybe my judgement of that wheel gap is wrong, but that looks like a bigger gap than 12 inches to me. Either way, that's really raised... not sure I feel comfortable driving that around town lol.

Nothing amazing just a turbo badge. I realize that car did have the turbo option, still get a thumbs down for buying it.

p.s. its a mercury capri.





I also found this on a hike I went on Saturday.

Yeah, I could see that, but I live in Washington State. North of Seattle, actually. I could be in Canada in two hours... There is just no excuse for this guy.

I SOOO badly want to take a white paint pen and write "This is not a" above his banner!

I was told 5 packs of sticky notes, 50 balloons, several glow in the dark bracelets, and I discovered a couple zipties on the axles when I drove to the ATM that night..
