Al Czervik (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001098/): Oh, this is the worst-looking [plastic crap] I ever saw. What, when you buy [platic bolt-on crap] like this I bet you get a free bowl of soup, huh?

I had the misfortune of seeing this Hondatard Mobile this morning.

It was painted a cheap....errr....hideous 'MysticChrome' color that changed as you moved....errr....writhed around the abortion.
The color would alternate between Puke green and Turd Brown.

It kinda looked like Kermit had skid stains in his crack!

Saw this Friday night as the kids and I were walking into Cracker Barrel for dinner.

During the past week, twice I've seen what I think is a Cavalier (early or mid 2000's model?) with a 3-gauge cluster on the A-pilar. The car looks like a piece of junk and the trunk lid is a different color than the rest of the car. Will keep a look-out for it so I can snap a pic...

Saw this amazingly BAD dashboard layout in a Scion XB at the Baltimore auto show.
JEEZ... what a friggin' useless mess!!
Amazing thing is that some automotive 'design stylist' got paid to come up with that ridiculous POS.

I was tempted to take out a hole saw and cut 3 or 4 big holes in that vast expanse of wasted grey plastic.
That way I could hold a big Coke, a Slurpee and a few beers in the dash!

LOL.....Yes, you are quite right!
Why be bothered by troublesome details such as what your engine is doing, how fast you are going, and any other pertinent information needed for safe driving!?
I'm really surprised that they didn't have a BIG lighted vanity mirror and a HUGE stereo/video screen mounted in front of the steering wheel....:shake:

I think that's what the extra space in front of the steering wheel is for...all of your electronic devices (ipod, tablet, cell phone); after all, that stuff is more important than mirrors, turn signals, and a speedometer anyways...:D

Never mind why (I've learned that it is a waste of time trying to figure out retards) .....But.....how could you 'adjust' the rear suspension to such an extreme negative camber angle...?

BTW: I thought that it was the VW tards who somehow manage to mount P195 tires onto 10" rims......:shake:

It's called demon camber. I don't know how they do it but it must run the tires off so fast

I couldn't believe that moronic Miata....I thought it had to be photoshopped!

Apparently there are multiple Miata Morons running around with massive negative camber and tiny tires on wide rims!

Daily drove this in Michigan... Actually could go low with decent camber. -1.8 degrees only.

However I have seen some serious drop on Miata's and some do look horrible, like ones posted above!

There's 2 tire/wheels shops right up the street about a mile and 1 1/2 mile from me they are doing the same thing only they have the Lexus IS 300 and the old late '90's SC300 or 400. I was told they are relatives.

Holy crap its real....i stand corrected on not being photoshopped. I dont understand how it even drives like that...what happens when you hit a bump, and the fender digs into the tire? What about a sharp turn?

That first miata is not a photoshop job, I know the owner, but I agree it looks freaking dumb. Never got a straight answer as to why he did it. He just says "stance makes her dance". So I told him what boost does and he shut up

I don't think they make sharp turns...more like 12-point turns.

As to how they mount them, I'm not sure but I read they need to use massive inflation pressure to keep them there and they wear out rapidly...

My car was setup for track use on some expensive coil overs. It actually rode great except for large bumps. Tire wear wasn't so bad, I was at 6,000 miles and still had tons of tread left.

The super slammed ones look silly though!
