The guy across the street who also owns a Civic would be my prime suspect.

I just had a thought so incredibly awful that it deserves to go into this thread to be shamed: Why has nobody made a car with electroluminescent panels? Think Timex Indiglo. Then, sure enough... somebody had: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mof8Kv85oy0 Next up will be donks lit up like Times Square.

I don't know about Civic Si wheels specifically, but OEM wheels tend to be absurdly overpriced, so if FogHelmut's friend has insurance and doesn't have his heart set on OEM replacements he can probably get a nice aftermarket wheel/tire upgrade and maybe even have cash left over. TPMS can be a bitch, though.

HFP sells some nice looking 7 spokes that are TPMS compatible, he should probably look into those.

The plates on that Ford Ka (4LOK276) belong to a 2000 Cavalier. So it's definitely not legitimately registered in CA. You'd be surprised at how many cars in movies and TV shows do actually use cars with their real CA license plates on them.

Here's a prototype car wrap with both on and blinking modes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2e1lQh32W0 and a Police car where again they didn't bother asking themselves "Should everything be animated?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USiwEneHByk SierraEchoBravo posted:I wouldn't mind having a light up helmet for when I go on night rides on my bike.

Can't decide if this is an awesome car thing (because one dumbshit diesel pickup bro gets dragged everywhere) or a terrible car thing (because the other one now feels like king poo poo) but I think the whole concept belongs here. Also, it's a facebook video so good luck getting it to embed anywhere that doesn't allow HTML. http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=536181529725823

I have to assume the drivers in the truck video were drinking. I hope they got busted real good. Doing this in a field out nowhere is one thing, but that was nuts. I like how the one girl screams "thats my dodge" apparently she lent her truck out? That always ends well, putting someone in charge of a vehicle they have no attachment to and expecting them to not destroy it.

Holy crap, that was seriously insane. That much reckless disregard for someone else's vehicle even at a dick wagging contest is way too far. I was waiting for the rear axle of the Chevy to just be left on the ground.
