One benefit of living in Louisiana is that we refine a ton of petroleum and have traditionally low as hell fuel and electricity pricing.

If I had $600,000 to piss away on a unique motoring experience, I'd buy something like this. Then I'd go buy a Juke & a GT-R. Then I'd blow the Juke up with some explosives and spend the rest of the money on the GT-R. You'd be surprised what almost $300,000 can do to a GT-R.

The fake decals are everywhere. From this years' Goodguys West Coast Nationals where the minute attention to detail is what gets you the title. The decal by the wheel is a Mercedes V8 Kompressor badge, and he has a Ford Racing crate V8

What exactly is it that attracts people to Sebrings?

An ex-room mate of mine had one. a '01 I want to say. Well, the trans poo poo its' self and would often rough shift in and out of gear. He tried (unsuccessfully thank god) to sell it for $2,000. Someone actually offered him $1,500 cash and he turned it down before I could tell him to take the money and run.

There's a whole bunch more of these here: http://autobotanik.livejournal.com/

To be honest, that's pretty similar to what I've seen a lot of high-dollar muscle cars go through. Reading through the translated version, it appears they spent months making sure every single part they got was OEM.

I saw this terrible riced out Civic today. To give him credit the bad body kit is painted and there are two fart cans to fill the bumper cutouts.

The steelies kinda suck but what baffles me is the mirrored gold civic and ex badges. Is he going for the M1 look? Did he find an extra set of badges cheap and threw them on there just for kicks? Is he profoundly stupid? We may never know.



A lot of dealerships put gold badging on green & red cars for some reason. Case in point 94+ Mustangs.


VVV Wow, just noticed the mirrored badging. That's horrible :(

There is a dealership in Louisiana that's selling a stock 86-88 Honda Civic for almost $8,000. I head that way in the next few days. I'll snap a few pics for everyone.

I'll post this here but it can go in a few other threads too...

Chevrolet has a pretty interesting "1-13-13" video campaign about it on YouTube with sneak shots.

Conception

Calibration

Craft

They're putting a LOT of effort and hype into this, and I just really really hope it delivers, aside from the horrible looks.

Oh come off it. That rear end looks amazing, what are you people seeing? If it looks anything like those renderings I'll move to the loving states and buy one. It looks like a proper car, not a wedge of plastic.

The whole point of super cars is to look outrageous and go fast, it looks like the Corvette will deliver.

It's not a "proper" car (for me anyways) until Chevrolet gets off their stuck-in-the-past attitude about keeping the engine in the front. Make it rear-engine, shorten the front by a good bit and now we're talking.

I hate those exact three colors. They're just so drat boring. Although, black is kinda 50/50. Some cars look pretty good in black but not other colors. Around here, you're ideal get-away vehicle would be something from the Mopar field. Don't know why, but since Katrina, it's been practically nothing but Dodge Chargers, Challengers, Avengers, Magnum, and the list goes on. That and Nissan. There's so many Altimas & Optimas EVERYWHERE. It's just odd for being in the South.

It's about keeping the brand exclusive. Sure, they could drop the price a good bit, but then everyone would be driving one, and it wouldn't be as highly sought after. When you say Porsche to someone, 95% instantly think "expensive". The other 5% think "douche".

That is NOT plasti-dip. That is spray paint. And Godholio is right. It's the Metalcast finish spray paint. The person was trying to achieve the same color as Work Meister S1's in their now-discontinued anodized blue finish.

Picture for reference as to what they probably looked like in his mind:

Had a manual transmission chevy prizm without a tach, but swapped in a corolla cluster with one and it worked fine. Does it really cost that much more to put in a drat tach???

Always wondered this myself. Also, my manual '99 Civic DX (no power options other than power steering) doesn't have a tach either.
