Hopefully after the economic collapse. 

Economic.. geological.. potato, potahto. California is gone and we benefit.

There are a few. That one is just the best one  

Yay.

that's fine. i'd rather die off than live with shitty california drivers with their mercs and bimmers and whatnot just cutting normal corolla drivers like me off the fucking road.

Your sacrifice will not be in vain.

Its more likely that Washington would get blown off the map. Giant earthquake, tsunami, multiple volcanoes past their due dates, japan radiation, north korea if they don't blow themselves up first.

Hey, even more benefits, the Hipsters will be a dying breed by then, we'll only have to worry about New York at that point.

OMG....  If it looks like a ricer, sounds like a ricer, and smells a ricer... It's a ricer.... Also one of the ugliest cars i've ever seen. I feel sorry for the poor MX-5 though that had to deal with the punishment of having that crap on it....

 

I've seen Spec Miata's which have been abused less.

@vetali yep it's never getting messed with because "i don't see the money value in fixing it" but here's the worst of the damage:

 

 

 

Fender was was starting to bend in half. So it's all offset now

 

no idea how you fix that; bodywork is a dark art to me

Witchcraft to me.

 

But yeah... no good. It looked fine in the pic, but I was looking at the gap in the light area and bumper.

Yeah that's the obvious one but to get it all correct that fender will have to be un bent (it's barely bent, you can only tell from underneath) to fix those gaps correctly. 

 

But like I said, he's not gonna fix it. It's too minor to justify the potential costs (Audi) to him and the parking sensors are fine at least. 

 

And itll never get reported on a car fax I guess. So be wary people! Car fax wont tell you every incident! 

 

Hopefully sister never does that again. Gosh it's painful that she did that.... I want to help her but at the same time I don't want her to hate me

She needs her own bumper car if shes gonna continue to do that.

i would just get a 1970s-1980s car that was imported that had those stupid bumpers. maybe that works.

970 has a fan going out. This is the 2nd GPU in a row that had its fan shit the bed prematurely.

Anything if you're pissed off enough.

Did some research and it appears the 2.3T from the ecoboost only shares the same block as the mazda speed 3 everything else is different though. Also it uses a twin scroll turbo which is cool.

Looks like a metal fender. Heat gun and anger wont work sadly. Youll need to buy a little metal piece (I think its called a dollie) and a body hammer and use the dollie and lightly hammer the body panel back into place. Did this when I put two steel plates on the hood of my jetta after knocking two holes in the hood to get rid of the rust that ate through it. I may not know a lot about engines but when it comes to autobody HMU!

Yeah I probably shouldn't mention my northbridge is running hot . Knowing that the threads car related, it probably means I'm gonna get when on a bike or somethin.

Saab built a 2.3t before it was cool ? 

[RevoltTrain]

Still 10 more days before I get paid. Which means 10 more days before car parts because this is what my bank account looks like atm

Twin scroll turbo are cool. From the pictures it looks like they just put two turbo's together to make it one unit.

Mmmm F80 competition package

 

PERSONALLY not worth the $90K CAD but I'd buy it over the equivalent spec Giulia QF.

 

Don't care how much they cost right now. When I'm able to afford one, they will be cheap. I hope
