Of course! It's a Deathrace car! Didn't you all know that? Yeah, it races across the country with the Eclipse lower down on that thread, they have spikes that come out of their wheels for slashing other guys tires too! Watch out when they're racing, they get extra seconds taken off of their times for spearing people. The longer they drive with a body stuck to the front, the more seconds go away!

why all the hate against body kits? I don't care what other people do to their cars. Fag it up to your heart's content; triple-decker GT wings, 20 yards of vinyl graphics, PVC psudo rollbars whatever. It's their money and they are the ones who have to roll around in these automotive stillbirths, don't hurt me one bit. Now when some chump rolls up on my naked stock-looking Nissan and trys to give me attitude about my car's lack of fruity accessories I take issue and I start to hate on them. People want to express themselves, that's fine just leave me out of it. Hey some guys take it in the butt, fine just don't wink at me bruce I don't roll like that;)

Over the tops mods like that are just riduculous. Whoever did that has too much money, too much free time, and too little good taste.
Another good example of this is a guy I saw on TV at an import car show. He had a Honda Civic. Crazy body kit, Lamborghini-style scissor doors, wild stereo, paint, etc, etc. He claimed he had spent 100k building it. The first thought in my mind was that he could have bought a real nice three year old 996 Twin Turbo for that kind of cash. Sooner or later, he will end up selling that Honda, and I doubt he could get 25% of what he has in it. If he keeps it for 10 years and drives it only on weekends, it will still be essentially worthless. I understand that he gets the joy of hot rodding it, but he should at least start with a platform that is a performer to start with. Sooner or later, most people sell their projects and start new ones that are partly financed with the sale of the old one.
Those of you you have seen my posts know I have nothing against extensive mods, but enthusiasts like that make me laugh.
