There's a guy who goes to car shows around here, I believe he's mexican, and he has one of the most beautifully done mustangs I've ever seen in person.

The only way to deactivate the ray beam and fight back the vampire alien threat is with a complicated series of foot patterns on the device's control board that looks remarkably like a DDR pad. We will all praise this man for saving our lives and buy him a mountain of stuffed animals.

I could make a Lindsey Lohan joke, but I won't as I dislike vomiting all over myself.

Whoa now, no reason to hate on the bug man. Not only did the original Herbie kick ass(at least to the little kid me), but I was working on these things long before that crappy remake came out. Beetles FTW!

See lots of potential, with some work a great car!

When I first got my car only paid a 100 bucks, was a stock runner. It did come with the 7 fin corvette valve covers though. Just kept building and adding over the years.

When you get your car to where you like it believe me really a great feeling ..............

I messed around with my old ford fusion (now driving a focus) I had a custom tune cold air intake strut brace and was looking into more when I had to sell it. The improvements made a nice difference. I miss the car. Might (if its possible) turbo my 2010 focus somewhere down the line. It certainly could use a turbo!

Modding cars is great but its also expensive, time consuming and risky. That may be a big factor (bad economy)

You misunderstand me, good sir! VW's are awesome, it's Lindsey Lohan I have a problem with.

Also, Don Knots is kickass. (Goes off to watch Three's Company)

I had to settle for a S2 Focus several years ago, but had there been a US Rally edition, I would have been all over it. Still, the S2 is a great little ride.
