Those rims cost thousands of dollars and people are killing for them. Also, that Celica up there reminds me of mini-trucks from the 90's.

If I ever own a Lamborghini, I'd troll the piss out of people with a horrible wrap similar to that. The wailing and gnashing of teeth, indeed.

Disgruntled Bovine posted:So, anyone else got any good stories of stupid and/or dangerous drivers? My dad is a magnet for poo poo falling off other cars/trucks. So far, he's had a 6 foot piece of rebar go through his grille, had a diamond-plate toolbox (the kind in the back of pickup trucks) fall off the truck in front of him and destroyed the front end of his truck, a small pond liner fall out of a truck and get suctioned to the top of his car (blocking his view completely), and a wheel from a semi fell off and smack his truck.

Rhyno posted:So you never, ever ride with your dad right? His normal driving scares me bad enough. I hate to say it, but the man can't drive. He's one of those people who stop at a red light and slowly inch forward every few seconds until the light turns green; and by then he's almost half-way across the drat road. He taught me all about cars, but jeez does he need to take driving classes again.

FogHelmut posted:I saw a car that was basically this: There's an SRT Challenger like that around here. Only difference is this guys' Challenger is turbocharged, flat black paintjob (not a wrap), custom red on black staggered 3 piece wheels, and a very aggressive stance. It sounds beautiful and looks even better. I'll have to try & find him to get pictures.

IOwnCalculus posted:Detroit and hot-weather states. I've seen a number of vehicles wrapped up here in AZ over the years, usually still with those Michigan "MANUFACTURER" tags on them. Lately the ones I've been seeing have been trucks towing trailers - one was very clearly the upcoming Colorado, and also a diesel given the scrawling over the fuel filler door, while the others all looked like they were probably the latest version of the GM fullsize trucks / SUVs. Isn't Arizona where they do most of their extended hot weather tests? I love that they drop it off, leave it in the desert for like 2 weeks, come back, and measure how long it takes the A/C to cool the car down after all that time.

A Koenigsegg recently crashed into a crowd of about 20 people.  Link Seems the second video isn't loading right, so the LiveLeak (obviously NWS/NMS) link to it is here.

I just noticed the window is open. How bad was the smell? I've noticed hoarders' houses range from 'slightly skunky' to 'sticking a pound of ground beef under the sink in a small trashcan, adding a cup of water, leaving it covered for a month, then taking a huge sniff'.

After seeing those wooden hood pics, I'm submitting myself in here. Unfortunately I no longer have the pictures, but one day I found myself with 5 boxes of wood flooring pretty close to this color, but a shade or two darker. So I brought out the cardboard, made a couple templates of the rear hatch area in my old GTI, and got the jigsaw out. While the end result came out pretty decent in terms of fitment; it was just odd to have a wooden floor in my car.

I love the wheels just not the color combo on that car. But we all have our likes/dislikes  *edit* are those pink or orange? It's hard to tell.

After seeing more than my fair share of hack-job wiring harnesses from engine swaps (and having to fix some of them  ) in Civics, that sticker might be something to boast about.

angryhampster posted:If the parking lot is nearly empty, then why not just take up a single space at the end of the lot? You just look like a turd parking sideways across two. Because if you drive a nice car and park in a single spot, it's inevitable that EVERY drat TIME a shopping cart finds its' way right to your bumper. It's some kind of evil karma catch-22 for driving a nice car.

You guys must be new to this. My rotary friends will tell you nothing, absolutely nothing, is louder and more ear-piercing at three in the morning than a built turbo rotary with open exhaust. Doesn't matter if it's 400 or 1,000 horsepower. It's just obscene.

Pham Nuwen posted:Speaking of manuals vs automatics, I was at a local car show last weekend and goddamn if there weren't a ton of automatics there. Is this just an old man thing, that these guys prefer to have an automatic? My Studebaker has an automatic but I want to swap the transmission as soon as I can. Manuals are just a hell of a lot more fun. I've actually been a bit surprised at how many old automatic cars you see around, even back to the 50s. Automatics, if built properly, are much better for a high horsepower car; at least from a drag racing standpoint. But for everyday driving I still think manuals are much more fun and you get a better feel for the car as a whole. The modern interior thing is really popular in the hot rod community because when was the last time you saw a bench seat from the 40's with factory heating and power adjustments? Though not period-correct, it's still a pretty popular thing.

The PT Cruiser Turbo shares the same turbocharged 2.4 as the SRT-4. And while almost every SRT-4 is prone to being abused and trashed, the 2.4s can be built to a healthy 5-600 horsepower when done correctly. Now just imagine a 600 horsepower PT Cruiser. That would be the best troll car ever.
