Saw this on another car forum I go to.

The Mustang is the one at fault here. Why am I not surprised? Supposedly the BMW guy is completely parked when the Mustang plowed into him.

That's "what not to do to your car", but not really the same as all the rest here. I doubt the Mustang moron did it on-purpose...

There were several accidents posted in this thread. I suppose it's more for bad mods, but still.

And of course the Mustang driver didn't do it on purpose. Mustangs have their own laws of physics. They experience a very strong pull towards crowds at C&C/curbs/other cars.

The only place the Initial D reference works is on either an AE86 or maybe a GT86/BRZ/FR-S. Not on a Camaro.

And yeah, let's make the Camaro's visibility even crappier...

Can you think of a better way to clean your vehicle? Cause I can't. At this point you want to dump alot of cleaners in there. Then you jump in (don't forget gloves for safety) and scrub with a brush or pad.
