How

How the hell can you get past all the stuff to get your eyes to focus on the tach. That car is toooooo busy.

This morning I spotted a Lexus SUV with three of those oval auto zone stick on vets on the top of the front fenders right next to the hood and they weren't even lined up straight. It was such a WTF moment I couldn't get my cell phone camera focussed on it. Sticker vents on a frigging nex Lexus SUV?

Do you think that the owner is trying to compensate for something?

I'm using Redline Heavy Shockproof Gear Oil (75W250) for my tranny.

This belongs to a guy at work. He is very proud of it.



I don't know what happened to my pics, and now I cannot get them to post again. I don't know what I am doing wrong. I will try tomorrow. For now it will just have to work as an attachment.

Yes, it is 2-tone on purpose. If you look at the wheels, the dark part is painted to match the red in the car. Yes, from a distance, it looks like he put on a body kit and forgot to paint it.

Not sure what to say about this one. A good car with potential. But the owner made some bad choices. Like the spoiler, the hood, the wheels,... What is with the writing on the windshield and the air freshner from the mirror? LOL

I think the red should come down more. Maybe to the door moldings? iono
It's alright...

Thumbs down

I just had to say that its funny how these people think that their cars are the coolest **** ever, while we have a blast ripping on how incredibly gay these cars are.


ps why do you need a gigantic wing that could lift you into outer space if your car is front wheel drive??? *cough*cough* (eclipses)

FAIL.

Then there was this when we were leaving
