What's wrong with this picture?
 

Let's see how good your eyes are... there's something visibly wrong with the car in these pics, and NO it's not that it's purple. There's a problem that needs to be corrected.

Let's see if you can spot it..

Drivers side taillight full of water? ;) hard to tell, but that's what it looks like..

Ding ding ding ding ding!! We have a winner.

Someone asked me why the driver's taillight looked funny in my pics last night, and sure enough, I pulled it off and it had a crapload of water in the bottom.

No idea how long it's been there, but I can see from my pictures that it was like that before I bought it.

Question is... how does a tail light get that much water inside it?

For some reason I cant see the water in the light.

Look at the bottom portion of the driver's side tail light..

My taillight gets water in it also, same side, it hasn't filled up like that, but it is growing moss (turning green inside) :lol: The seal around the top is bad that's how the water gets in mine..when I wash it I spray around the top and can see the water going in. I have replacement taillights, but just haven't put them on yet..

Damn all I could think was it did not have good tires on it ;)

:upyours:

and I was thinking it was slower than it should be......:devil:

j/k zeke.

just take them both off.. and put some more silicon around the edges

not too difficult to do
but that's (basically) the only thing holding the two pieces together.

and the only way that water can be leaking in.

Couldn't the water create a short or something? I would try to get that water thing fixed right away. That is a nice car........slow or not. :devil:

I was gonna say driver :jest:

Certainly ain't good for things in there, that's for sure. I'm just curious how I never noticed it before. I imagine that shit would be sloshing around all over the place in there when I was driving.

yeah.............that's what I'm thinking. :confused: Well, at least you found it out so you can fix it now. :)

That's a very keen eye Steph, I couldn't tell at first but then after looking at it again it's plain as day!

I used to do graphics for a living so looking for that stuff was my job ;) I would have to take a picture like that and take that water out of that picture so it looked perfect...fun stuff :D

The car has a Division 7 (California) NHRA number on it.


What's with that?

That was the number on my tech card. :confused:

I saw it right away too. But I guess I did not win because I just now saw this thread.

All that extra water was probably adding weight and slowing down the car. No wonder you could not get good times Sunday.

I did a Photoshop job on it...
