I just want to add to this thread the entire subreddit /r/justrolledintotheshop

that car meet needs less dumb cartoon stickers and more hot little jap girls dressed like those anime chicks

 

WTF Sonic, that was painful

 

Not sure where to put this, but I think it fits what not to do to your car.

I drive past this sign every damn day. And every day, I give it a middle finger salute.



Fock you, McCormick Auto Body.

 

There is an insurance billboard on my drive to the track that features a wrecked 8. I hate that billboard.

 

Must be the same ad company, they had one in the body shop where my car has been... more than once...

 

Yep, that is the exact same image, just photochopped blue.

 

Some great pics and tales there!

 

The ride quality must be awful

 

It's for sale! And it's an "R3!" (ahem...)

"Selling My 2009 Mazda RX-8. Low Mileage and Perfect condition."
75,000 miles

 

Who tries to sell a car with 3 crappy pictures? I also love the description of the series 2 motor update:

"Nothing done to the engine. If you know rotary engines, then you know how to take care of them. Mazda changed the body style and the way the engine runs from the 08 series to the '09 series. The '08 series rotary engines lasted to about 120k miles but they found a way to prolong the engine life on the '09 series. That is why no one sells them, its because if you take care of them the right way, they will last a very long time."

 

just more proof that murder should be legal in some cases

 

 

 

I bet it gets better mileage than a stock RX-8

 

this malivette is more confused as to what it is than a tranny. its got a big vette emblem on the pass side airbag too lol

 

is that a Pontiac Grand Prix wing on the back?

 

yes with vette and ss badging yo

 

I dont know what's worse, that, or VTEC stickers

 

Sorry that it isn't the greatest quality picture but i had to zoom in a little with my phone.
That thing is as crooked as it looks. It also sounded like it had a cheap turbo on it and
backfired anytime he took his foot off the gas.

 

Weird way to recycle tires...

 

Lately I've been trying to not be as big of a smart-a** as I usually am, but I really had to bite my tongue on this one this morning.


I really wanted to ask him if he couldn't find any yellow & black curb feelers.
