There is usually a reason that most drastically hybrid swapped cars look like show queens.

The one on the second picture was for sale, I believe no RX8 should have wheels like those. Just my opinion though..

I had a customer come into my store with a rotor that separated like that. We decided to hang it on the wall as a warning.

I had a friend bring one to my house that the hub had seperated from the disc bit. When he hit the brakes the hub just spun in the middle. He said he thought is was okay because the noise stopped.

There is a video of that trashed Audi floating around. I stumbled across it while looking for fender rolling stuff on YouTube.

Not a great shot. Best I could do at short notice. Lavender and black tiger stripes. Steering wheel was striped, too. Eesh.
