The next picture in the ad seems to indicate they drill the holes where they are showing and that they overlap.

And you can't really dual-drill a 4 bolt pattern in a 5 bolt hole wheel without overlap. Such an awful, awful idea.

I hope that google maps location isnt his actual address, because if it is, that car is probably already stolen. Ive always wanted one of those, but just like EM1 civics they are a huge target.

Well, since it indicates a lake in the middle of a park, maybe that is the location of the now-stripped shell. :v:

That's nothing, after market bags are reasonable and the job is easy. Or convert to coils even cheaper and easier.

Getting deployed (Military)
Getting transferred abroad (State Department)
Aforementioned Coke-dealer
Thought he would be able to flip it for a profit (moron)
4th DUI
Lost everything in the ongoing BitCoin crash
Wife hates it (didn't know he was buying it)
Kids
Wife found out about the mistress
Bought it for son, found son sleeping with his mistress


There are lots of reasons.

I saw a brand-new Mustang pull up next to me at the gas station last week - still had the dealer sheet stuck on the passenger window. I took a look, it was the turbo 4-cylinder model... and it showed an estimated 20/30mpg for fuel economy! Is that for real?

Are you expressing shock at the fuel economy being as high as that, or as low as that with a 4-cylinder? I got a 6-cylinder Mustang a while back thanks to Avis renting out all their regular cars, and it did something like 30-35 on the freeway.

As low as that. I remember squeezing out 30mpg on long freeway trips with my 1990 Thunderbird with a V6.
