I'd buy it and then probably swap everything from the hubs out, just to make sure it didn't retain any taint via osmosis.

Oh I know why they do it, just have a straight bumper and dump it without having fake tips sticking out.

Puddin posted:Oh I know why they do it, just have a straight bumper and dump it without having fake tips sticking out. Maybe it is to have the same bumper part with the exhaust "cutout" as on the gasoline cars, and to have something to fill the hole with they did that exhaust thing. Also, cars where the exhaust isn't visible from the rear look less fast.

You cant see the exhaust without at least getting on your knees. Just a straight bumper. But my Peugeot is a family car and not marketed towards "performance" drivers so they probably didn't think it necessary.

Not sure if it's a terrible car stuff, but it sure is a terrible attempt to guzzle up whatever cash baby boomers have left (after buying '77 Trans Ams on Barrett Jackson for 7 figures). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2_FPuHbEtE P.S. Burt Reynolds is so old now

spog posted:Is your mom Sally Fields? That'd be cool too. 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.

Wrapping up my honeymoon in Costa Rica and I think the worst car stuff I saw was on the same block noticed aftermarket wheels and fart can mufflers on both a Toyota Yaris and Echo, both slammed. I mean, aside from all the cars just driving around with no hoods.

Do ute's in Los Angeles County go in this thread or the other one? lovely cell phone picture:   Having a 30 mile commute in the carpool lane and being a passenger 50% of the time means I get to see and take pictures of so much more of the glorious things on the road.

Yeah well it's not like these ever existed.. My mate I do labouring for has a ~1 year old version. To be honest as a tradie vehicle they're not the best. By the time you put a couple of toolboxes and all your tools in one, the wheel bearings need repacking every 40k and his has massive diff noise after about 60k. It's still under warranty but to have to replace the diff that often....
