Actually, most FWD drag cars do run wheelie/ladder bars, they help keep the weight on the front wheels, increasing traction....

Couldn't agree more. Just think of the type of cars $200k could buy you...M5, E63 AMG etc, yet for that money he's created an ugly pos that he'd be lucky to get $3k for. Moronic. Absolutely moronic.

Let’s not get too far ahead of ourselves here. I do not for one nanosecond believe that this clown has even seen 200 large, let alone spent it on his POS.

Yes, he’s spent a lot of coin on it, but 200 large, no way.

There's nothing funnier when a POS can't drive.....Particularly after a few attempts.
Notice how no-one came to his aid... LOL, I wouldn't either.

I wouldn't be seen anywhere near it with a spanner.

It goes to show, that owning a car and knowing how to take care of it (fix it), is 2 different mediums.

Custom trim, with everything airbrushed isn't cheap, even the underside is brushed. Not to mention that it has been though a couple of different phases.

It all adds up...


used to look like this...

3 or 4 rebuilds would add up, plus i hate to think what that airbrushing cost. it may be dog poo ugly, but it looks like its been done to a pretty high standard.

and lets face it, he dosnt seem like the sharpest knife in the drawer...all that work to still have less than 200hp at the wheels?

Probably needs a new set of rotors and brakes when you do change the wheels.

That’s the real tragedy here, the fact that he has a son. People like this shouldn’t be allowed to breed. The poor kid has no choice about who his parents are or how bad their taste in cars is.

Here’s another thread in him.

Why are they bagging cash for clunkers whilst destroying a decent Jag?

Seems hypocritical

unless I've missed something here...
