That's one hell of an impact, but I'm really impressed that the cabin looks relatively unscathed (aside from airbags + broken windshield).

I actually said "Oh god why?!" when I saw this. That poor Challenger. The driver shouldn't drink so much though, looks like he was trunk driving.

For twelve years, you have been asking: Who is John Galt? This is John Galt speaking. I am the man who loves his life. I am the man who does not sacrifice his love or his values. I am the man who has deprived you of victims and thus has destroyed your world, and if you wish to know why you are peris

It kind of pains me to put this in this thread because this guy is way more talented than I'll ever be and this is probably the best something like this could ever turn out but the thought of putting this next to a real Countach and how they'd compare led me to put it in the terrible car thread.

Sorry, but the correct way of crashing a Challenger is to crash it into two bulldozers.

I get that taste is subjective but I will never understand why extreme amounts of camber are supposed to look good.

I've seen a bunch of cars lately in NW Washington which honestly look pretty nice except for the ridiculous amount of camber they're sporting.

I just don't get it. I'm old I guess, get off my lawn, etc

Posting on Scion related forums is an exercise in self control to not just point out how loving stupid every single "customz" car posted is, and simply walk away once the desired information is found.

No pictures but: My aunt bought a Chevy Aveo. New. Is still making payments on it. $240 a month. This is enough for one 'terrible car stuff' post

She says has to put water in it every 2 hours of driving or so. It has 55 thousand miles. She said her mechanic said her radiator is leaking and needs replaced for $500. I check it out, super obviously blown head gasket, possibly warped, from driving it with no coolant, massive amounts of white exhaust smoke, I let her know, explaining all the details of what a blown head gasket entails, the damage it can cause, how expensive it will be to fix at a shop, and she says "thanks for the suggestions and advice but my mechanic said blah blah blah". At this point I'm going to wash my hands of it and let her blow up her stupid car entirely. I tried to help v@_@v

her and her ex-husband have either through lack of maintenance or running into stuff/cars have destroyed at least nine cars in the last 4 years. They text while driving, he drinks while driving, they're both mega idiots, etc.

One of the few cases where maintaining your car is actually not a good financial decision.
