That’s fair. I’ll see what I can do. House is on a 2 lane road right before a curve so will be tuff to do without somehow stopping.

Little tease - imagine V6 American “muscle” with very poor attempts to try to look like V8s with the added bonus of phat rims

WTF is up with that hood rake? ...among other things....

They have a very small opening for the radiator so guys will prop the back of the hood to let hot air escape from the engine bay especially when they are lowered and don’t get much air flow from under the front bumper. I played around in the civic world for a while. Although they are sometimes over board with the “Paul Walker” they are pretty damn fun to wind up to 9k on the tach between shifts. And, they don’t way shit so small hp gains go a long ways.

Ah, so there is some tech behind it. Thanks for answering that!

...I'd almost bet a dollar that the owner just figured it looked "kewl..." Never knew much about Civics and the like...I've always been into American muscle - you know, Focus, Sonic, Cruze, etc.... :lol:
 
It's also kinda copping the "German Look" that early-model VW's go for. When you lower a swing-axle car, the rear wheels tuck in at the top. So the ricers use camber kits to get the same effect. And the hood is a ripoff of the decklid standoffs VW guys used to get air to hot-rodded flat-fours or clear the air cleaners on dual carbs.
 
The front hood spacers on a JDM-style car like that are a trend from the Kanjo racers and drifters in Japan. It's an almost-free cooling mod. No, that guy doesn't need extra cooling, but that's where the trend came from.
Have you guys never seen a Japanese car with a spaced hood like that in the last 25 years since that trend caught on in this country?

Rear trailing arm FWD cars have a lot of negative camber gain in bump, don't need a rear camber kit. It's not trying to copy the Germans, both just have a lot of negative camber gain.

Don’t quite understand why that needs to be in here.
1. That truck won’t fit in a parking space anyway.
2. The lot looks plenty empty.
3. He did keep it in the lines side to side which is better than a lot of people can do in small cars.

He was in 3 spots. It looks empty because he took the front spots so nobody else could
