I once had an idea that was somewhat similar to this for my old '87 GX, with the Maple Leaf in matching red on the hood. Never did go through with the idea.
It was during a fit of patriotic pride...

Every weekend, there are a constant stream of police cars arriving at the Walmart up the street from my house, and magically arresting people after they come out of Walmart with bags full of purchased goods.

Thats good to know... If I ever become a fugitive, I will make sure to avoid Walmarts xD


But the story of the picture I posted: The chase started on the street and the driver thought he could lose the cops in the parking lot of the nearby Walmart... The story was all over the news was quite funny. I guess the guy thought that his light and nimble civic could out maneuver the cops in the dense parking lot.

That video made me smile.
I thoroughly enjoyed it, and love the kid's attitude.
He will be a helluva car builder,

If he lives long enough.

^ Bingo. I've always loved first gen 7's and that one is actually brilliant in its own way. One day, someone around here will take an RX8, set fire to it, install a Ferrari motor in it, and equal it's brilliant offensiveness.

There aren't many 8s where I live... Maybe I see one or two per month and everytime I see one, I wave or flash my lights, but they just look at me like I'm the biggest moron on the earth... I wish I lived near a better rx8 oriented crowd...


In a way, it could be a good thing that I don't see mistreated 8s, I'd prolly give the owner crap about the way he is treating the car... Would prolly have a few black eyes
