I bought a pretty lovely Miata for this reason. It's gotten a whole second life.

The irony of 'no fucks given' when you clearly give all the fucks and want attention.

Looks like the box is on a hook lift, which could be cool, but i somehow doubt that's a legal license plate.

Looks like he stripped the lugs, snapped a couple studs, and then cut off the wheel like a dumbass.

It looks like they hammered a pry bar in between the wheel and rotor, and cut the stud.

Is that what that is? Ok, that’s much better. It’s hard to tell that it even is connected to the outside exhausts/mufflers.



I'm pretty sure it is. You can see the turns into the mufflers. And some mechanical for the actuators between the dumps. Maybe I'm being optimistic.

Nice.

Re: no fucks given/stupid camber-low. I don’t mind mods that somewhat compromise “daily driver” quality for performance - there’s always a compromise - but that poo poo is outright breaking the car for every purpose other than appearance. At least the zero fucks given RX-7 was done to be “cheap V8 in a small sports car”, and not a broken undrivable mess.

quote:

On 14 April 1945... while U-1206 was cruising at a depth of 200 feet, 8 nautical miles off Peterhead, Scotland, misuse of the new toilet caused large amounts of water to flood the boat.... The leak flooded the submarine's batteries (located beneath the toilet) causing them to release chlorine gas, leaving him with no alternative but to surface. Once surfaced, U-1206 was discovered and bombed by British patrols, forcing Schlitt to scuttle the submarine.

My dad was looking for a rolled 4Runner for the longest time so he could cut the roof off and use it as an off road beater/lumber truck. I had to point out it may be a bit floppier than he expected with the roof cut off at all the pillars.
