i actually like the corvettes, they are going 110% against the grain of what the traditional corvette looks like.

Definitely makes a statement and different is always better than the same old, same old.

^ That triumph isn't my cup of tea either, but at least you can tell what he was going for, and he did it cleanly. It isn't just a bunch of random trendy crap on a common car for the sake of making it "unique."

I used to have a green Triumph Spitfire 1500 when I was stationed in Ft. Stewart, GA. I missed that car when I sold it to my co-worker when I got out of the Army. I wish I didn't sell it, I wish I just kept it...

Hey I remember that car. J/K. I do remember that ragged out 240sx with a sloppy sr20 install over at 3-15inf.

Drip a lot, burn it regularly, the only difference is a piece of cardboard in my driveway. Slightly off topic, but my next motorcycle will probably be an oil dripping triumph. Their motorcycles are even cooler than their cars I think.

I used to rebuild Fieros, I had several and know more about them than most pontiac techs, I had factory service manuals to work from too. They are under appreciated cars and people speak alot of crap about them without knowing the facts.
