Saw this one at work today.

 

 

only in Texas...

oh, they're even a Cowboys fan.

 

it's in California. But yeah a Cowboys fan

 

What not to do to your car? Drive or park in NYC. For ONE DAMN NIGHT I parked the daily driver 2013 CX-5 on the street instead of the drive way (had to do some moving), I get a hit and run. How? No idea. An idiot that can't spot a CUV on a residential street or an equally dumb drunk driver.

Tried my best to be defensive owning a car in NY. ALWAYS parking at far end empty spaces of lots, rarely street park if possible, drive like I have paranoia, etc. That clean streak lasted a year and a half at 22,000 miles. Can't own a clean car in this city without it getting F'd up by ********. So, avoid what I do: driving and parking in NYC.

/endrant

 

^ That freakin' blows....

 

Yea dude that sucks, sorry about that.

 

Sorry to read about your late model CX-5 damage, Say. Feel your pain. It's so expensive to live in NYC already without adding periodic body repair. Time to move to the South. Had a relative born and raised in NYC and didn't drive until she moved out of the city. Period. Other one parked the good car somewhere safe and bought a beater to drive that he didn't mind getting damaged. Sorry state of affairs.

 

.... they must really love crayons.... coz that looks like it came from Crayola...

 

Got scratches on your hood? Cover them with vents.

 

non functional at that and it looks like a shinka too. barf

 

silly wanna be hummer owners lol

I'm ****ed

 

lol i didnt realize my daughter was coloring so much....

 

 

Picture from the sarx garage.

 

I wish that car was in my garage, I would push it out to the street and set it on fire.

 

i would send you a full gas can, matches and smores 9k

 

you got a 2 for 1... that car in the background has an overly big wing ^_^

 

As long as there's an AEM or similar intake they'd be functional, wouldn't they?

 

Not if you understand the basic concepts of fluid dynamics.

 

That rx8 club Facebook page is full of these clowns.

 

Well I've got a fair understanding of that, but could you explain your reasoning please? I'm still kind of confused as to why they wouldn't be functional. What "function" are we talking about exactly? At the front of the hood we have positive pressure.

 

I think repairing a stock hood would be far more functional, I haven't looked through all 300+ pages of this thread but my interior is probably here somewhere...

 

so very tired of CAI discussions etc.

 

^ I think you're missing what I'm saying. Since the AEM intake replaces the massive stock intake box with a metal tube, there's a substantial amount of room freed up to evacuate hot air out of the radiator. Wouldn't the vents help get that hot air out of the engine bay, allowing a little more flow through the radiator?
