Unhappy Bad photochop disgraces the RX-8

Might be a repost, but I didn't find anything when I used that nifty search function...

Saw this ad on the sidebar on facebook... made me sad...


Did a TinEye search and found a bigger version to find it's a terrible photochop... disturbed me... Would be angry if it was my car that was chopped...


Who would do this to an rx-8?!??!! Discuss!

That's my chop and my car when I first bought it. Was just messing around and now it's out there. Someone else has pointed the Facebook usage out to me.

Here's my original photo.

Another link to my chop. They are also bashing the RX-8 in general. Idiots have no clue what the RX-8 is about.

True story, but most of the bashing came from a guy by the name of 'douchebagboy.' Nuff said.

A friend of mine showed me this a while back on a website called "You Put Rims on That?"

http://www.youputrimsonthat.com/2010...-why/#comments

Funny thing is, I would assume most of the pictures on this site are real so it just goes to show how good of a shop it is. I would've thought it was real if altspace didn't prove otherwise.

Hiiii! Ya, I lurk around here every now and then. I drive a boring, albeit reliable, '95 Celica. I've got a thread going on what car to get next...
