I mean if it were a top-mount intercooler I guess I'd understand -- a scoop for the intercooler and a scoop for the possible location of the intake filter. What kind of stupid car gathering/show is this? Why are the Sunfires there? enojy fucked around with this message at 08:16 on May 27, 2013 |

I at first saw it as a PT Cruiser, so I guess your eyes are a little more flattering.

I initially thought one for the top mount and one for the intake as well, but I see a front mount lurking in the bumper. Truly bizarre - but I will say that I love the orange paint though.

Dynamat and its users will forever be terrible - it's literally idiot paper*  *It does work but you don't need more than 25% surface coverage on the doors that rattle because they can't handle the PHAT BASS.

No picture sorry. There and gone too fast.. I was crossing the street when a mini van decided to stop 3 feet into the intersection. Nothing special there. The truly special part was guy in the passenger seat. He was probably about 16 or 17. He had his seat reclined a little and managed to put his feet up on the dashboard, right on top of the airbag. As the car haphazardly made its right, I was kind hoping for a accident. I know it's morbid, but I really wonder what would happen if a airbag deployed under your legs like that.

Generally it's traumatic leg injuries- I'd they are on top of the airbag they get propelled up and back shattering leg bones, knees and hip joints. If they're in front of the bag when it deploys it will shatter your legs, shear the hip joints and propel your femur into your body. Well that's what I've seen at the two car accidents I attended involving feet on airbags anyway. First one is a permanent cripple, 2nd one bled out from the massive internal injuries.

I am just as undecided as that paint job. Here is something terrible: https://vicpd.ca/media/media-releases/2013/what-accident-hit-and-run-driver-leaves-piece-bumper-behind Idiot bashes into a parked car, flees the scene leaving a giant chunk of bumper behind. Victim calls their plate into the police, who show up at the owner's house, find the smashed car parked there. Owner is inside house, claims ignorance, when asked for ID, gets license out of smashed car. Finally owns up to it when the police explain how loving obvious this all is.

That's... not safe, but not the worst I've seen. Feast your eyes upon this pile of booger welded scrap. I'd post highlights, but every time I try to decide which pics to include, I just end up including them all. http://www.forbiddenjeeps.com/general-jeep-tech-questions/4423-let-jeep-yj-v8-1ton-coilover-stretch-thread-begin-2.html Here is a representative sample (it's not a highlight, they're all this bad. Basically assume anything spray painted silver is terrible poo poo):

They got rear ended by some bro in a jeep (yes, there were bros even back then) who took off leaving his plate jammed in said friend's bumper. It wasn't difficult even for our town's keystone cops to follow up that lead.

^^^^That's how you handle repairing the entire front end without paint. Replace fenders, cover in stickers.angryhampster posted:Southbound headed toward Mexico somewhere? I've seen this quite a bit on I-55 south of St Louis. That was going to be my guess also. Grew up in Houston so you'd often see 2 crashed but still driveable vehicles on their way back to the motherland.

Somewhere under this is a CX-7. I didn't notice how awful the wing was until a minute later when I passed it. NOT PICTURED: Front LED lighting strips included the ever-tasteful around-the-headlamp and around-the-foglamp, as well as around most of the Mazda logo. POORLY PICTURED: The plates say NOXQQQS.

My most horrifying driving experience ever was driving a Fiat Cinquecento (around 120 inches long) round cliffside roads in rural Greece back in the 90s, giant trucks oncoming in the middle of the road, blind corners, and what we dubbed 'death boxes' every 20 yards or so - little shrines to people who had died on these roads.

Y'all are pussies. When I was 17 I drive my mk 2 fiesta like it was a fighter plane, ducking and diving between giant trucks, banging off the rev limiter all the time in top gear. Admittedly I was a stupid prick when I was 17, and banging off the rev limiter in top was about 80 mph. 955cc was far more than I deserved.
