I’m sure it’s very slimming if you stand beside it.

I’d call the number each morning on my way to work for the uplifting message it would give me because both styles would bring me joy.

I sent that modified MR2 snap oversteer comic to my pal in Burbank, who’s on his third one. Thanks! 🙂

I guess I am dumb because I am a member but I cannot see this story. Or I don’t know where to go to see it.

Very important qualifier you added at the end there.

How do none of you know this was made to speed up salad production in small Italian villages? Each evening this car makes a mille miglia run through countless small towns while villagers toss their produce out it as it whizzes by and then they hold out salad bowls in it’s wake to catch the finely chopped pieces. Some even have their mates help by spritzing oil and vinegar at the same time it they plan on serving it right away.

It takes a fast car to make this work and the Diablo was the only choice at the time. They tried an F1 but it would only chop potatoes.

It really does look like it’s going 100+ MPH while standing still
Separately, it looks like it went through a car wash where you press a button beforehand that says:
“Press here to add LINES”

At least the mirrors were extended to accomodate the Mix-a-lot approved rear.

Also on the phone thing, there’s an 800 line called ‘Callin’ Oats’, that you can dial and will play Hall and Oate’s songs. Could have a Clarke’n’Torch line that will play a random comment from either.

Remember when you used to get high with your friends and then wished someone would write down your thoughts because they were brilliant and you could make millions of dollars from your creative thinking? Ladies and Gentlemen, the ZigZag 1.5.

With something like that, you need to trot out a passive aggressive Minnesota mom backhand compliment – “Oh, wow, that looks very different. It must have taken you a lot of time to do”.

What the heck?
I like the cartoon version of the Diablo.
For the complaining I heard there is a phone number women give out to guys who hit on them that they don’t want anything to do with. It has a cruel but clear message. Maybe one is needed for businesses that says we value our customers but you aren’t worth it go away.

If they don’t get the reference they’re not worth dating anyway.

Just over an hour ago I saw a new Subaru which appeared to have gotten about the same treatment. The hood, front splitter, double wing, even box flares. There was a rallyscoop thing on the roof. I almost curbed my work van.

Each to their own.
But, dayum.

Imagine seeing it on a old limited edition SuS. 165hp of doom. Lowered because idiot couldn’t find a legacy gt of the same era.

Hey how about Pep Boys has really upped their game. Because as bad as some of you think it is it is still better than PBs.
Maybe it’s a Diablo Kit Car?
