I think rice is dying off in my state. I don't see nearly as many mawdded cars as I used to. Could ricing be linked to economy? Maybe the government should publish a Fast 'n Furious index along with its other indicators of economic health.

I've seen bottom-end Civics and old Integras running on their bump stops more than anything lately. I'm just glad nobody likes S-10s/Sonomas out here like they do in Tennessee. God I hate those things.

That's a great local brewery that we have. Do I drink their beer? No.

I don't really see a problem with the steelies on the 3er, but maybe that's because I run them on the WRX in the winter...

Those are probably his winter rims anyway. At the time that photo was taken most people have their winter tires and rims put on their cars.

They tried to go all FTO with that MX-6...and failed miserably.

Or include a phone number!

The design of her logo and claim are terrible - especially because of the big Honda logo sandwiched inbetween them. It literally reads as "Kosmetik Studio La Bonita Honda".  :lol:

And, I don't want to hear any complaints about factory overhang again... ;)

Yes, it was a '75-76 Firebird, with old Opel GT headlights and '66 Ford Galaxie taillights. Luckily it's in Turkey, so we probably won't see it again.
