Apparently many of the cars they use are rental cars.

not only rental cars but stolen. in the notes of some of the vids they state that they dont care about damage and will out run cops because 95% are stolen.

and to keep things rolling.. one for the other rick (or rik) on here

Remove the stupid spoiler and weird rear passenger sunroof or whatever it is, and its quite a looker IMHO. Always wondered what an EB would look like with a BA rear, would probably look something similar.

That is such a poor job, unless its not finished?

You can see where the join line is and the metal is all rippled. Mould lines don't wrap all the way round.

Went to look at a few cars today in adelaide at autosell motors on south road the place was closed due to it being a sunday but there was 7 cars on the side out of the gates so i was looking around and saw a nice silver au forte looked good till i realise it was being held up by pieces of wood through the middle of the car and some blocks holding up each of the rotors!!! somebody had nicked the wheels the night before haha the owner wasnt happy when i called his after hours number to let him know i didnt wanna buy a car unless it came with wheels!

Don't mind me, being the thread saver:

Clicky
Paint isn't too bad but the car as a whole is a giant fail/rice bowl in my opinion!

This car is almost at the same level of "Wtf were you thinking?!!?!!!" body-kit as the Taurus drag/show car:

No pictures unfortunately, but an epic fail I just saw was some middle aged bloke in a mitsubishi lancer with all the windows down pumping 80s tunes at full blast. You could hear the tunes from a mile away. Everyone passing him winding down their window and giving him a 'wtf?' look lol. Even people at the bus stop giggling as he drove by

Couple of days ago on the way to get a pinkslip....was waiting to turn right....i looked right and on the ground was a chunk of metal with oil pooled in it.

I look up the road, a long stain of sorts coming from a traffic island going past me and onto the car spaces down the road. The keep left sign on the island (and the sign on the island following the first) were flattened.

So one can only guess somebody ploughed right into the island and smashed a nice chunk of sump/motor off....how they could not see the island beats the hell out of me! Was amusing seeing the chunk..

Also seen a Mazda 3 two nights ago that faceplanted into a wall on a bridge, great place to stack....

to each their own. I just thought it funny the bloke had the need to let the whole street know his musical tastes. Looking in the rear view mirror and seeing the look on driver's faces as they wound down their windows to see where the noise commotion of speakers blaring the 80s song 'i'm so excited, i just can't hide it' was coming from and the looks on the faces was priceless .
