Living in China I've already been hit three times by cars while crossing the road on a green light in three months. And yet looking at all of the Russian dash-cam videos, Russia somehow seems even worse than that.

Mighty Horse posted:Precision German mechanical failures. Not even. That's pure abuse. Look at the clutch disk, its paper thin. He ran it past even the rivets that hold the abrassive in place. I'm trying to gather how he was even able to drive on it for long enough to cause that much damage.

Abuse yes, but that's just the backing, all the clutch material is that pile of hair on the bottom left. I'd say the pressure plate cracked and shredded the clutch up like one of those rotary apple peelers.

So that's a thing now, is it? Those type of wheels give the Camaro such a... weird looking appearance.

I don't mind this one. They've obviously put some effort into making the front end look right, and fitting the wheels to the arches. The whole thing looks kind of like a matchbox car. If the tyres were a bit thicker I could see it become some sort of X5 kind of thing.

I think it is pretty obvious that he will mount the TV on another spoiler that is mounted on the hood. SaNChEzZ posted:Sticking with the theme here, sorry for the drive by. Living in Tampa, I see this stupid look all the time. I cannot remember which magazine it was I read an article years ago, but I think someone said the "donk" look was started in Tampa? loving Florida...

The Camaro is so ugly and gaudy anyway those wheels don't really hurt much.

Previa_fun posted:The Camaro is so ugly and gaudy anyway those wheels don't really hurt much. I agree. Donking a modern Comaro is just how its supposed to be done. With the bloated beltline and everything, big tires just make it look better. It's one of a handful of cars that just seemed made for it. (What I'm trying to say is that the new models look like Matchbox toys. To me, the proportions are wrong to begin with.)

Dear Penthouse, I never thought it could happen to me, but I think that sunburst orange one actually looks good! (even if it is a 20 footer)

Nobody is more pleased with donked out Camaro's than Mattel.

My entire fashion repertoire consists of cheap T shirts, khaki / drab / camo cargo shorts / trousers and steel cap boots. I know nothing of this "fashion" they speak of. Now I think of it, I don't actually even own any shoes.
