Bmw_Neo_Type · 11-08-2009, 09:15 PM

tim.d · 11-08-2009, 09:17 PM

THIS car has good stance:

You mean "push it beyond ugly"?

Why does "different" have to mean "retarded"?

As always, your taste is both conventional and predictable, as is your commentary.

My taste is that I enjoy cars with taste. So sorry I could not surprise you with comments of praise and enthusiasm. Please tell me why it disappoints you that I do not care for a rusty shitbox so low you can't drive it without hitting everything, and one that has suspension settings so retarded that it causes poor performance, braking, and wear?

Please, tell me why I am supposed to like this car. Please.

lumbercis · 11-08-2009, 11:00 PM

^'Cause it's fun?

Think of it more like an art project using an automobile rather than something built to make times at the track or win shows and you might get it.

saiyajinimports · 11-08-2009, 11:01 PM

i like the car but i really don't understand this whole rusted car thing thats goin on in the west coast.

seriously that looks like ass.

"Art".

This must have been the artist...

dacman · 11-08-2009, 11:30 PM

That "style" is so stupid. Spend some money on some adjustable suspension arms to get the roll center and camber where it should be to work well and it will be respectable.

Spend all that damn money on wheels and tires and can't afford to spend it on suspension arms, thats worse than ghetto.... damn wheels and tires look like they are worth more than the car, oh yeah thats the shitter.

...and a brand new steering wheel.

Stock motor, 1" off the ground, 225s on an 11" wheel. What a beast!

Nick Stonawski · 11-08-2009, 11:46 PM

Well i gotta say, it deffinetly grabbed my attn! in a good way. but lets be honest, anything slammed on the floor with super agressive wheel fitment is gonna get

!

It's impractical to drive everyday like that but if some bodywork were done and a nice coat of paint it would look pretty stout!

i admit i just went on a mini 240z autotrader/ebay hunt just for shits and gigs.

This ride reminds me alot of the Rusty BMW from a while back. flush agressive wheel fitment and lowered! everything else follows with mixed reviews.

I think it's awesome. Nice to see someone not taking the car hobby so seriously.

and the reactions are spot on!

I love this car. Simple and the owner is having fun. Isn't that what this hobby is all about? Having fun?

TRD2000 · 11-09-2009, 12:00 AM

Don't let PS fool you, this car looks even lamer in person.

gorillaFART · 11-09-2009, 02:31 AM

rusted cars or letting their cars rust is another fad that other car enthusiasts are doing to their cars because they think its cool looking. (maybe trying to copy the rat rod thing?) they all need to DIAF

if u love your car u wont let it rust.
