It's not on 'bags. I don't quite know where Famine got that from, but for once, he was wrong. :P

You can go that low, and actually even lower than that, with coilovers... no need for airbags.

If he has coilovers with that camber angle, he's a pillock. Doubly so, as it means he'll be driving round like that, rather than "hard-parking". At least with airbags/hydraulics you stand some hope of the car driving normally in normal situations.

Still incredibly optimistic putting racing seats and harnesses in. He'll be pulling less lateral g in the corners than my house.

Oh, and we had the Espero on Barryboys 4 years ago (language warning)
 
It's a style. Not my style, but a style nonetheless. They run that much camber so they can fit those low offset wheels on there. Civics actually need every trick in the book to fit them--fender rolling, pulling, stretched tires, camber, etc.

Also, bags are for cheaters. I'd like them on a luxury car of some sort, but that's about it.

Espero = I wait
Esperar = To wait
Esperando = Waiting

Yo te espero = I will wait for you
Esperá = (You) wait
Él está esperando = He is waiting

Esperanza = Hope

Tengo esperanza = I've got hope
Él espera que lo hagamos = He hopes we make it


One way or another, who are you gonna trust? A translator or a human being that was born in a spanish speaking country? ;)

And on a further note, english is much easier than spanish. :ill:
 
The Espero was renamed to Aranos in some Spanish-speaking countries (not in Chile, for instance.), since the word Espero means I wait in Spanish. Such a name was deemed inadequate.

However, "Espero" is the noun "hope" in Esperanto.
 
This was rather annoying to drive behind.

Pfft. I was in a traffic jam on a motorway once next to a car which had a bunch of blue LEDs in the licence plate surround while it was going forwards, but which flashed red every time he even looked funny at the brakes.

Slammed Volvos are ALWAYS questionable.

The only thing questionable about that is why more people haven't done it. I love it, it's awesome on so many levels. But then I have a soft spot for cars like this. I'm off to make one of my very own using GT4 and Photoshop.

+1. I think the stretched and slammed is pretty cool on a car like that. I'm not the biggest fan of stretching and slamming, but with the number of guys that do that to Volvos, I think it's pretty cool.

Point taken ;) I was just going by what I'd discovered myself.

That's good enough for me :D

I think this Daewoo-related conversation has gone on long enough now...
 
Can't stand that fake rust look. Cars are metal. If you want rust on your car, strip the paint back to bare metal in places and just leave it outside for a couple of months.
 
That is the what you get when you try way too hard. It's been taken too far, the rust is too OTT and the roof is just a stupid idea.
 
Finally, a VDubber goes too far. :3

And that's Chain-link Fence, not Chicken Wire. Dadgum city-slickers.

((Off-note: I'd hire the guy who painted that car to do my Model Trains. :3))

I just don't like this, I'm sure some will have a field day, there's so much to dislike :D

I can't help but love it. - The car, the setting, the scenery, the radical elements incorporated in every detail!..

Who says cars can't be art?..
 
Yeah, but not good graffiti - more like some obscenity scrawled on the back of a toilet cubical door.

As we all know, beauty is in the eye of the beerholder!..

Each to his own and all that, and I like it very much...
 
Yeeeeah this is what I'm talkin 'bout. Look at that scoop. Must have atleast 500 H.P. by the looks of it.

Oh and the front caps are probably gone because of all the wheelspin that thing can produce.
