Default Why would you strut this?



I had seen this car before and giggled but was finally able to catch it parked. This guy drives like he is Speed Racer and must think his V6 is a monster. He has made a V8 clone with wheels and exhaust yet put a 232 decal on the fender.

Wow lol, today I was going down 290 and I saw a buick regal with some nasty looking 20's on it. Well it had the following STICKERS.

1 large chrome buick emblem on the rear quarter panel
1 large chrome sticker on the back window saying "custom"
1 (only one I saw, I'm sure it had more.) chrome sticker on the fender saying 20" just in case you didnt happen to notice the size of the wheels.
1 large chrome sticker on the front fender saying "regal".

decal states what motor he actually has = not rice
wheels were prolly available to stock v6 stangs thru the ford accessory catalog at the dealer= not rice
what does v8 clone exhaust look like? dual tips instead of one like a stock v6? lots of people get dual exhaust on trucks and cars that didnt come with it from factory, not really rice.
