It was a late model, like mid 2000s Caddy that had no business with 13" spoked wheels on it. One of them big fat bloated looking Caddies.

I mean, I get what you're saying, and I'd probably agree, but I don't think anyone's accused any Cadillac ever of being svelte.

That said, I'm impressed with the weathering job. Sort of like a full-size model car.
It's better than the usual stick-on plastic chrome stuff everywhere. Still a PT, though.

Had a lowered rx8 with fake te-37s, intake + exhaust behind me at a light waiting to make a left turn while i was driving the Abarth to work this morning. I could hear him revving while waiting for the light, and after I pulled away from the light like a sane person, he gunned it, spun out, and drove into and through a vegetated median. He managed to not hit anything, and ended up in the opposing lane.

I don't think he did much if any damage, but he might have hosed up his undercarriage a bit. I honestly was laughing too hard to really pay attention.

One could argue that being a fan of any group of manchildren that dress up and get sweaty trying to win a contest is "the worst."

And I say this as a dumbass with a Blackhawks avatar. Sports are dumb. Fun, but dumb.

It is definitely a 99-07 first generation Super Duty, you can tell because the door handles are vertical instead of horizontal and the mirrors are extendable towing mirrors mounted with two arms instead of 1 arm.

Did you take the picture? The exhaust tip and tires are retarded either way, but from the picture alone I don't see any markers to identify if it is gas or diesel.

Pretty sure it is, plus it has the more prominent "step" in the passenger window. Pretty sure that is a F-250 that only looks like a F-150 because of the poo poo low profile tires.

edit:
I think the handles are superduty specific too.

I took the pic. It's def an F250 super duty.
I had my window cracked and didn't hear diesel so I assumed it was 5.4l gas.

Those badges do look like Powerstroke badges though...

Considering all the other stupid poo poo that's on it I guess it wouldn't be crazy to think he put them on himself and it is a gas engine.

I actually like the concept of those stacked "tips", shame they actually aren't. That pic always makes me giggle a bit.

e; Just saw that the RC-F has stacked tips, wonder if those are real.

At least there are four actual exhaust exits, and none of the tips are dummies. I guess making the exhaust fit well enough for actually attached exhaust tips is too hard for Lexus.

I'd bet that the plastic surrounding the exterior tips can't take the heat of direct contact with hot metal exhaust parts, so Toyexus came up with that...

Slavvy

I'd say it's because some genius designed the rear bumper to have integrated tips, because the concept car would've had them, and nobody told him the exhaust moves around so they can't be fixed to the bumper. By that stage it was far too late because all toyota performance poo poo is perpetually behind schedule and over budget so they just made it work.
