prorican, man, where the hell have you been. I've been trying to get ahold of you for a while... I was just in maplewood the other day but didnt have a clue where the mall was.

and that car is sick. I love the 'racing wing' ... not. and brembos!!! ****, send those to me, I could put them to better use than a show car ever could.

I guess I just dont like show cars. ever. I'd rather see a beat up dirty race car that actually RUNS fast and is used. cars are meant to be driven. I dunno. I hate to see thousands of dollars of parts on a car that never sees the street, I mean, more power to em, but you're missing out on some crazy performance and fun.

ehhh, it's a show car. show cars don't need to be fast, but MUST be flashy and gaudy. the aim is to capture attention (be it 'oooooh' or 'ewwwwww'). i kind liken it to the difference between bodybuilders and strongman competitors. sure, bodybuilders may 'look' super strong (and some might be), but they probably wouldn't come close to doing the things that the dudes in strongman comps can.

that said, i'm just not diggin that at all. and is it me, or is there like 4 different kinds of red (read: non-matching) in the interior alone?

I've seen that car in person at some car shows around here, i guess since he lives in lancaster hes pretty damn close to me, but still, that car, in my opinion, is ugly

As far as show cars go, the only category that car would fit into is "Throw as much random crap on your car as possible Class". That is the definition of "waste of money". Really, what show would anyone expect to win with so much junk on thier car?

i think we sould all chip in and buy it. it deserves a proper cremation. it is sad but we must face the truth and move forward and keep the memories of what it used to be before it was mutilated. its not the cars fault. its like a sick dog, we love it but there is a time when you have to put it down. it is only humain.
