It was a $80k WRX
 
Take a look at this $80k WRX, and then scroll down to take a look at what used to be an $80k WRX.

...you mean a $20,000 WRX with $80k into it. :)

...all that money and they still can't put harnesses on right. :D

That must hurt. I'm guessing the ins company won't cover the $80k.

I'm guessing probably not as the owner probably didn't want to pay the premiums that went with an $80k vehicle.

I know those cars are stupid fast, but for the love of god, they are stupid ugly.

Mud fence ugly, ugly on an ape ugly, ugly you can't drink away ugly...

that'll buff out...

Why?
Why would anyone (in their right mind or not) put $80k into a car like that? For $80k, wouldn't you atleast put in a proper welded in cage that fits AND proper fire equipment?

RallyJon 11-21-2006 01:18 PM

It's a "show car" which seems to mean hang all sorts of crap on the car to impress boys in baggy pants.

His mistake was confusing show car with street racer.

Proper welded in cage? Be happy it was metal rather than PVC. :D

Fried rice!!

I could have built one helluva 911 track weapon for $80k...

Totally agree.
But we might be track minded.... and a wee bit smart on safety.

Why are you guys all ragging on my WRX?

rammstein 11-21-2006 03:05 PM

I think the WRX is a sweet little ride. Very powerful, and useful for those living in the hell I left behind me (the northeast).

That said, $80k into one doesn't make very much sense. I actually doubt he put that much in- where did it go? I mean, figure it:

Stupid Loud Stereo: $4000
Turbo Stage 11 kit: $12000
Suspension: $4000
Brakes: $3000
Cage: $1000
wiggity wheels: $4000
Racing seats: $1000
NOS: $2000

That is all grotesquely overpriced I think, and it only adds up to $31,000. How do we get to 80k?

rammstein 11-21-2006 03:06 PM

And, IMO, the WRX is cool looking- although I like the older generation with the round lights. The newer one tries to be pretty- the older one was totally in my face.

Small denomination, non-sequential, unmarked bills and a few packets of white powder under the back seat?

I think the fresh air intake for the driver cut into the roof is hella sweet.

Nostril Cheese 11-21-2006 03:19 PM

all that time and money and no fire extinguisher.

The owner deserves to burn as much as that car did. idiot

nostatic 11-21-2006 03:22 PM

that's a lot of crack and whores

Burnin' oil 11-21-2006 03:46 PM

Crackin' whores, Grommit!
