Notice the tail light reflectors in all the parked cars around there: they're all lit up. That took a sizeable on-camera flash, and using one would also explain the way the car is lit, and why the background brightness is so different from the foreground brightness. A polarizing filter was used to both cut the glare on the glass and to bring out more of the pearlescent effect of the paint.

The wheels don't look like they're centered properly on the car, and the paint looks flat.

The paint effect is due to the polarizing filter. I've seen the same effect many times. The wheels may or may not be chopped though...

Nope. Can't be mine. Notice the lack of foglamps on the bumper (it's a 2.7 SE) and the lack of a sunroof. Also, it's fucking GREEN, and it has 20"s.

It's a guy named Robin's. He's white, and his girlfriend is Latino. He went to high school with me. :ohyeah:

It's time to revive this thread.

I spotted this gem parked outside the Sears Auto Centre just down the street from my house.  I think it was once an Integra.  But here's the best part.......
If this is the sort of thing that actually floats your boat, you'll be glad to know IT'S FOR SALE!!!!!!  :rolleyes:

More rice for your enjoyment.



Notice the temporary registration on the back?  Could it be that somebody actually paid real money to buy this car?  Big downforce from the huge roof-mounted spoiler compensates for the lack of grip from the nearly bald tyres!  The problem is I liked the early Focus hatches.  But this one has been ruined!

Gas at $2.899?  Where?
2. 1995 Saturn SL2 5-speed, 126,500 miles. 5,000 miles in two and a half months. That works out to 24,000 miles per year if I can keep up the pace.
