Snapped this on the way home today. You could see the cuts in the wheelwells so the tires didn't rub on them. I like some lowered cars but all the cliches on this one were just too good to pass up.

Drove by this a while ago and couldn't figure out what the hell it could be used for. It's in Albuquerque, NM in the middle of s desert if location helps at all. Click for huge.

So I was driving along when I saw, this thing...



I pulled into the parking lot to get a closer look because something was just wrong..



Any guesses? Well this should confirm for you what it originally was...



Seriously what in the world? I thought they only did that to old vw bugs..

That movie owns so hard. In a terrible car-movie way

I started to look and I can't seem to find the movie anywhere (not trying :filez: )

I did find a full size movie poster for it and decided I had to get it for the garage wall. So the kid in me thanks ya'll for bringing it up but my wallet hates ya.

Care to share where you got the poster? :D

Here ya go. It's an original movie display poster, had a friend look at it that collects them and he confirmed. Going to make an obnoxious "go fast" frame for it and put it in my garage. The guy sent it nicely rolled up with a protective sheet of thin paper but it's got a couple of nice creases from people folding it in the last 33 years.

Saw these two beauties this week.

First up is someone who decided to order everything in the catalog for his new jeep.



It was truly a garage queen extraordinaire.

Second up for your enjoyment is this little gem. Now you might be thinking, "hey some kind of super sports car" but NOPE!. It's a fricken Ford Mustang, 4th gen, probably around a 2002-2004. It turned before I could get a side shot. The roof was chopped, windows were about 6-8 inches high and a ton of Pepboys specials added onto it.

I thought the point was more about cheap small cars being fun at normal speeds, while something fast and exotic is only fun at flagrantly illegal speed.

This pulled up at one of my favorite breakfast places in town. Did not think that I'd see one in town and it had local plates.

I know some people might argue this is the wrong thread but in person it really does look idiotic. I watched them pull out and it just didn't look really stable pulling out of a dirt lot and the bumps trying to get onto the street.

How does a trike "not look stable"? What does that even mean?

So I was behind it when it was pulling from the parking lot up onto the street. There was a few small divots in the dirt that led up to about a 2ish lip onto the street. They took it at a slight angle and I saw the leading front wheel actually come up off the ground when the other front wheel bumped up to the lip. The whole thing did a bit of a lean over to the back side. Dunno I've ridden one of the Can-Am Spyders and never got that kind of a feeling that I saw happen with what I saw with the slingshot.

The story goes that wasn't a a simple matter of being high centered. It was some "dump the suspension" protection measure that got tripped. Of course, everything about the vehicle down to it's weight are classified, so we probably won't know with certainty for at least 50 years.

(note the front suspension as soon as you hear the noise)

You can also hear the BMW that comes out first scrape over the apex also.
