Is that some kind of prismatic wrap? I think it looks great in the gif and probably wild in person.

Is 24" wide enough to do an entire panel? I've wondered how you wrap a car without any seams showing.

Giant Mack mud flaps, hood ornament, and I'm pretty sure it said Little Mack on the back window.



Sadly I didn't get a chance to read the stickers (and my picture is too poo poo to see them close up), I'm curious about what stickers you would put on a Laser.

I can't tell if I love that or hate it (much like the lambo). It's so awkward and terrible with the generic '90s eurotrance and the pixelly stuff in the video and the odd lyrics and intermittently autotuned vocals but at the same time it's strangely captivating and pleasing to the eye/ear...
Also boat-cars (functional or not) loving own always.

The first Chrysler PT Cruiser was loved for its ease of parking, use of space, and personality; and it held four full-sized adults and their luggage in comfort. The modified Watts suspension packed a lot of cornering and ride quality into a space smaller than a Neon on the outside, with more cargo space than many mid-sized cars on the inside.

I found it by searching for ACVW engine fire pictures, but while I was scrolling down I saw that this guy owns like 3 Neons. And he's obsessed with putting them back to stock.

In fairness to the PT Cruiser, the turbocharged convertible made a fun rental car for a weekend. I would have hated it for longer than that though.

An acquaintance who owned one claimed that it had some kind of additional oil reservoir and he apparently rarely changed the oil. Was he describing a dry sump engine?

Edit: I also have a coworker who's first and only car is a Honda Odyssey. He says he doesn't want to put any money into it. This apparently includes never changing the oil until the oil pressure light came on.

I can understand not throwing money into your "beater" , but oil changes are a bare minimum requirement in my book.

One thing i dont understand is if the PT cruiser is basically a lifted, body kitted Neon, why dont you see more SRT-4 aftermarket goodies slapped onto them? Plenty of kids got them from dear old dead grandma or as a hand-me-down. If i saw a PT cruiser turbo on crazy boost putting out 500 horsepower, i'd absolutely lose it :D

The Previa has an oil reservoir under the hood since the engine is under the drivers seat. It's connected to the oil level sensor in some way and pumps oil into the engine when it gets low.

It's kind of overkill because that engine doesn't really need oil or maintenance ever.

This one might just be awful, but if you ever see a van and think they "lowered" or have "ground effects" you should realize that it might be a handicapped van. The floor is lowered to allow access for the wheelchair/powered-chair for people that have no use of their legs. You just drive up the ramp and right into the driving area, which locks you in place.
