Too bad I am wearing glasses and had to see an 8 butchered like that.

Should have opened this thread without my glasses on. I guess astigmatism is nice in that sense.

Nice ride for a delivery guy, other than the pepperonis.

Saw this tonight when I was going on a night drive with another guy. First saw a small tree that was knocked over in the middle of the road, and then saw some broken wheels and the wreck.

Looks like a V6, and the driver was nowhere to be seen when I stopped by and checked inside the car. The guy with me guessed that the driver was probably driving with some other cars and they carried the driver to the hospital and ditched the car there.

Hopefully they are okay, but yeah, good reminder to not test the limit of your car on public roads.

That Camaro is absolutely trashed. Like you said, more than likely the operator was intoxicated.

in his defense, there wasn’t any room left in the engine bay after that engine swap

maybe should have just gone over the roof with it aimed at the rear wing for some additional downforce though

Do you really need the vents to cool the headlights or where they just added to look cool?

so THAT's why he hasn't been around.
I see you've been keeping busy Sonic...


side note: I'm certain I'll take heat for this but I actually don't hate the look of that car.

If it rains I suppose it will have bigger issues than sucking water straight into the combustion chambers

so last night happened to drive by this right after it occurred, not quite as extreme as the Camaro above and the cops were already swarming over it like killer bees. I didn’t make out the brand/model, but it was one of the big motor overweight muscle car turds that are common now; up fully straddling the center median and sideswiped into a tree or pole. Cops were screaming at me as I tried to take a pic passing by, so not the best quality

air flow reliefs for oil cooler (when used) and brake cooling
