Between the price of a civic (even used), plus body parts, paint, wheels, etc., think of the 911 that this amount of cash could buy. Then figure he's got $3-$4K stereo inside and some engine mods judging from the gauges/intercooler. That would cover the drop and rebuild. The best part is that he doesn't even realize what a great car he could have for that money. Then again... if presented with two side-by-side, not sure which one he would pick.....

No, I think the best part is the fact that he DOESN'T own a Porsche (or a Benz, or a BMW, for that matter!) People like that should not be allowed to buy anything but a Honduh. Imagine what he'd do with a 911? I can just see it now:
- Bling! Bling 20" shiny chrome wheels
- Clear taillight lenses
- Ugly spoilers (Oh, wait, it would actually be functional on a 911, nevermind!)
- Neon lights under car
- Stereo pumping out crappy music
- 'Aero' scoop on roof of car
- front hood vents (remember, I'm talking 911 here!)
- Side Z3 hood vents
- Lighted windshield washer nozzles
- Fart can exhaust.

No sir, people like that need to be kept far away from P-cars!

-Z.

Let's change the subject (but not the topic) from ugly cars that kids drive to big planes that men fly.
Here are a few classic "Oh SXXT!!!" shots. These were taken at the now closed Hong Kong airport.

motion,
Go to Airliners.net to see for yer self. All are real plus many, many more. These shots just didn't need to be resized to upload. The Hong Kong airport was famous for this stuff. There is one shot of a 747 floating in the water and than one of a barge crane picking it up.

Knowing the area around Kai Tak airport, the photo could easily have been taken from a nearby apartment building with a telephoto lens. I doubt that Airliners.net would publish BS pics.





I think there's a good reason they closed that airport...

Ok, ok... a member of the great unwashed I guess, at least when it comes to Hong Kong. Wow, look at those apt buildings.. I can't tell if they're burned out or just dirty. Yikes.

Look at the bank angle on that turn! Remind me never to fly into Hong Kong!
