It's a good condemnation of their fabrication skills on a project where they're willing to cut the front end off a car, but unwilling to reshape any of the body panels they're keeping. It's the mark of someone who knows they're in over their head, but press on anyways.

I wonder how big of a disaster the linkages and front suspension is.

No a long rear end time ago my mother's best was obsessed with James Caan. The friend ended up having his kid (Scott Caan of Ocean's 13 and Hawaii 5-0 fame). My mother went to visit her friend and went to a party and Burt Reynolds was there and took a liking to my mother but mom wasn't a whore so nothing came of it. My dad does have excellent mustache DNA so clearly mom liked that part of Burt.

Scott Caan is a sexy sexy man and I would not kick him out of my bed :newfap:

The bumper cut is legit on Miatas. If it has a roll bar I'd say it is fine except for the dumb lights.

Its kinda incongruous for normal Plymouth rush hour traffic which is why it caught my eye. There's a pretty big group of hot hatch/Impreza boy racer types who hang out in the city centre at night, this doesn't really fit with that lot. The wrap didn't look great in person, and those blacked out lights are always a bad idea. Didn't see if there was a cage in there or not.

Unrelated: Am I alone in thinking the latest Type-R Civics have been modelled on Decepticons? Its so… angular.

Hello AI.

I bought a 2002 4runner and put 2016 Tacoma TRD off road package wheels on it.



It looks badass, and I practically stole both the truck and the wheels because working at Toyota kicks rear end.

loving USPS. Come home from 15 hours at work to find this horse poo poo in my yard. I have a perfectly good paved driveway with a huge turnaround at the end, there is no reason to be in the loving grass. This rut is easily 50 feet long.

so are you one of those obsessive lawn guys who sprays like 50 different chemicals and keeps it exactly 2.3" long year round or what

It's early spring, the ground is probably so soggy you can just mush the mud back into shape and once the grass fills in in a few weeks you'll forget it ever happened.

No, but it's still irritating that the USPS asshats can't stay on the driveway. Add to that the fact that I have natural springs in the yard and people keep dragging the corpses of their crippled cars into the yard and well, it just becomes an ugly lovely mess. Should I just not give a poo poo about idiots tearing it up?
This Prius ended literally on top of the spring:

Here you can see how easy it would be to not be in the grass. Look at how much paved area there is...

What's with people and gaudy chrome wheels? I know taste is subjective, but I just can't fathom how someone looks at them and can honestly think they've improved the look of their vehicle. And there's so many lovely variants too, it's mind boggling.

Chrome = money.

I also don't get blacked out huge wheels. Why get wheels that look like poo poo after 15 minutes of driving or maybe just a mist during the day? The color (or lack of) makes everything look smaller anyways. Whatever...
