Without his brakelights lit?

That last picture of the ED made me laugh hard :P

Here's another shot I found of the VL:



Also, with the added downforce, lower weight plastic chrome hubcaps and wrong facing gauges, this car is easily good for an 8-second pass!

The dude on the ground belongs on a fire truck, he isnt a cop. I say the fail is he lost his truck and is looking under the car to find it.

If it could talk it would say "Save me from the bogan lady. Give me to Ryan at least he knows how to treat a VL with dignity and respect".

At least he went out there and tried something different instead of just making another mock XR6.

As far as the lady with the VL, yes pink is horrible but calling her all the names under the sun is just immature.
