Light blue Golf's a repost.

So is saying something is a repost.

Irony much?

Don't think I posted this particular picture yet.
 
like you're one to judge. put it on some bmw crap and you'd eat it up.

Anger much? That paint sucks and I like MR2s. Hell, it doesn't even match from the fender to the bumper... it is just over the top and rather tasteless. A simple metallic flake would have had much nicer results.

Cool work on the car, would have preferrred sticking with a BMW motor, but still. However, that color on the car (or in general), the unpainted flares with that color, the CF insert on the spoiler, and the "lol hi" intercooler just ruin it. Questionable in fact.

I dont think the MR2 looks bad at all and the reason the bumper doesnt seem to match may be related with the bumper's surface sharply changing direction after the fender which is, more likely than not, related to manufacturer design.

And that BMW would be an awesome car if it wasn't for the choice of puke gold paint :dunce:.

^ Is anyone else contemplating the sheer awesomeness that would be a 'Super GT'-style Stagea?

Super GT wagon series? Yes, please...

That's just his style. He used to DD a 11 second Civic, tracked his pink-headlight STi that was also his tow car for his racing jetski.

To make up for it, he also drives the nicest Exige I've ever seen:

I really want that black/gold 350Z and that gold BMW. I love the riveted on fenders.

edit: ^ That orange/black oldschool Z is amazing :drool:
 
I have a couple of sweet pictures I want to post, but I think they're a tad too big. Anyone here know how to re-size pictures?

EDIT: Here they are!
