Let's just cut to the chase and say all stickers of any kind, legit or not, are lame. Do whatever you want to your car, but don't think that just because you actually ran a marathon or drove on a road it makes you less lame. If you want to start a conversation, use words.


So you have a problem with my free "Nothing beats beef" sticker I got from the counter at the butcher? Or the Hello Kitty Pez sticker on the dash (which through coincidence matches the fuzzy blue Hello Kitty seat covers). What. I'm allowed to. Not my seat covers anyway.

Oh or the Fuckenbroken sticker on the VW?

I think it's more of the "My kid is better than your kid" mentality that pisses me off about bumper stickers.

That and the "I have opinions about things" stickers. I need a fuckenbroken sticker for the bug.

That's the first I've seen a picture of it. Those things went in cars destined for the internal security forces, I think. The GAZ-24's got 5.5 V8's for the Militsia and MGB/MVD/KGB/OMGWTF! Can you imagine how a Volga handles with that anchor in the front?

No; it's your car and your stickers so go nuts. Just don't get uppity at other people with stickers.

I can't imagine how badly an MGB with a Russian v8 would handle. I'd like to find out though.

Probably no worse than with a cast-iron straight six in it. That added more than 200lbs for the C vs the B.

True, though I'm told the c with a light weight engine (Vauxhall 1.6 16v I think) they're a better car than the b by far.

Ok, watched the Pacific Rim trailer, and while a Figaro didn't seem out of context here:


Is that a Ford Ka? In California?


I guess it's sourced from one of the South American markets. I mean, trans-dimensional portals, 300' tall monsters and mecha are one thing, but a non-CARB compliant vehicle in San Francisco?

Caprica (a Battlestar Galactica spin-off) has an interesting mix of cars - classic Citroens, 80s Mercedes-Benz and then a bunch of Japanese market stuff like Nissan Figaro/Paos and 4WD Mitsubishi Delica vans

The only thing they really share is they all look much different to your typical modern car

This...this car is something that would actually benefit from the touch of Xzibit. I didn't think that something could actually come out of WCC better than it entered, but we have a contender.


That being said, I would drive it every day to work as a beater, and just let it kind of deteriorate like a daily driver does. I don't know why, but I think it would be :krad:

Probably don't need it depending on how long the guy is staying in the country. In Texas he could just be over for a day or 2 and is probably fine, there are foreigners with moon cars here long term who get local plates because they have local insurance and whatnot.

Remember your plates are issued by your state and are unrelated to the Federal government's policies on international trade in automobiles.
