Automotive Idiocy
First off, this beauty is for sale! After hearing about it, if you just have to have it, it can actually be yours!
Lets start with the large prosthetic nose. The owner does get some points because the hood scoop is actually hooked into the air intake, so it will help provide air to the motor (more & cooler air will actually help increase horsepower). However in their enthusiasm to inhale, they've ended up with something blocking enough of their forward vision to hide a Kia in. Then to help the hood scoop blend in with the lines of the car, they painted it a nice subtle shade of metallic purple.
Next is the stickers all over the car. They are obviously trying to impress people with all of the preformance accessories installed. Except there are a few problems...
- 'Hurst Shifters', The car has the stock shifter.
- 'Simpson', Simpson makes racing harnesses, this car has the original seat belts.
- 'Penzoil', 'Valvoline', Pick a motor oil already!
These are shots of the front and rear wheels. Notice something odd about the brakes? In front we have disc brakes with cross-drilled rotors (for improved braking), and bright yellow calipers (because yellow=fast of course). In back we have the cross-drilled rotors again, but no calipers? What looks like a rotor is actually a cheap metal disc hiding the fact that the car has rear drum brakes. Also just front of the rear wheel is a lovely fake scoop, which has been oh so carefully screwed to the side of the car.
