According to The Oxford English Dictionary, the word "snapshot" was originally a hunting term.

The lovely thing is that right now Ford is saying if you change out the exhaust and come in with engine/turbo problems they will "possibly" void the engine warranty.

They might try, I wish them the best of luck with that.

Given the arbitrary angle I'm guessing its supposed to be like a car magazine picture. Either a shallow depth of focus lens or excessive post-processing.

If I had to guess it's a special lens called a lens baby. As a photographer, I loathe them. One of the photographers for the Detroit Free Press used to use one whenever she had to take a photo of anything boring like a sign. It looks ok once or twice, but I saw her take a photo with it what seemed like weekly.

Just got it yesterday after my Sportage bit the dust. It's used and decently taken care of as well. Came equipped with 3.7L Magnum V6 with a 5 speed manual transmission. Sounds good and runs great this is going to be my new baby for a long time.

Sleeper cars are some of my favorites. Just for the fact no one expects you to smoke them either going light to light or a straight up drag race.

Seriously, that little Corolla is one of my favourite cars. Except for a stupid muffler, it looks dead standard (and old) from the outside. The muffler sorta adds to it in a "huh, look at that idiot with his massive muffler on an old shitbox" way.

Which model Evo is yours? I used to play a ton of Gran Turismo when I was younger and was always jealous that the US didn't get them.

Those are RPF1s right? Do they come in purple or did you have to make them that way?

Thanks guys, the wheels are Enkei RPF1's 17x9 +45 w/ 245/40/17 all around. I'm on coilovers (hence the height and camber). In those pics I'm at about -1.6 front and -3.7 rear. My alignment is now -2.5 front and -3 rear.

They come silver from Enkei, I had them powdercoated when I bought them.

Dumb question; is gas expensive down under? I can't think of another country apart from the U.S. that loves their V8s as much as Australia.
