Yesterday, I rammed my Probe into an Orbitz building
Hi, I need a little help here. I'd like to know something about these so-called "modified" small cars, like your Hondas, your Ford Probes or your occasional Geo with those fat cigar-looking Borla exhaust systems, Altezza taillights, the works. My question: many of these souped-up, front-wheel-driven economy cars have rear spoilers, the point of which is to use air flow to make the car's rear end hug the road better and thus provide more traction--perhaps even more speed. But if they're front-wheel-driven doesn't that mean that during moments of great acceleration their front parts will rise up and their rear parts will lower and hug? Which should result in less speed/traction and--worse--less steering integrity? I'm not an expert in these areas, so please forgive.
But also answer. Tell me what is up with these modifiers. And their, erm, hot rods.
And two. I wanna know what this looks like.
I see versions of this sacred image here and there on the windows of automobiles (some of which possess--you guessed it--scoops, spoilers, diamond in the back, et cetera). To be sure, I'm ecstatic for these people and their convictions; but I'd also like to know what this image looks like.
Throw with me now, yes, throw your eyes out of focus and squint deeply at these pics.
Don't those lines that are supposed to be rays of radiation look like hairs? I'm not sure if I'm looking into a halved kiwi fruit or what's going on. I guess she's supposed to look like she's glowing, but. Um.
OK, this one even looks like she's got a button up there on top of her head. Tell me I'm making this up. I'm not.
