Fast cars are supposed to look “mean” and “tough” and “angry” right? Most of the time that’s true, but we should also appreciate those that are fast and just plain pretty.

And by “make friends” I mean, “fumigate with tire smoke”. There’s nothing quite as satisfying as a burnout that resembles a house fire. It’s also worth mentioning that this guy is on the forums.
