Yeah im serious :( its because of the insane taxes we have here :(

A heavy car with a big engine and much horsepower = 100000-150000$ just in taxes :(

at least you don't live in California over here in the US, even modifying a single thing on your car are fines and more fines.

So you robbed a store and assaulted 3 officers? Eh. You tinted your front windows by more than 6%? FINES AND CITATIONS!
 
That's a pretty nice Mustang, actually... But it must be a handful in the snow. My Impreza's psychotic on snow. :lol: I see in your picture, that you've driven it through snow (or, at least, with snow in the picture,) you're crazy. :dopey: :)
 
Wow, I know Norway was expensive but not that expensive.

Thanks Andrew. It came with summer tires which get hard and don't have hardly any traction when it gets below about 40°F. If it's below freezing, it feels almost like driving in the rain or snow even when the road is completely dry. The tires have awesome traction in anything above 65 degrees though.

This picture was from January this year when I picked it up. I have a civic that I try to drive most of the time in the winter, although there were a few nicer days last winter where I couldn't resist driving the Boss.
 
I know, I have summer performance tires on my Impreza, I drove with them in the snow... Was like driving on dry tarmac regardless... Now, with the new rear sway bar, even with full winters, it attempts to kill me. :mischievous: That's why I love it. But, a Mustang's just so much more powerful and less refined (where is your center differential? :lol:) for winter driving, it would be mental... The fact that you've not crashed it - keep it up.
 
The Premium Evo IX MR is in the game still.


Edit: And you have the vortex generator in the rear window, just like my mom did. Don't tell me it's not a IX. ;)
 
Yeah ... I just found the premium IX. Doing another shot now. And mine is definitely an IX MR (SE) ... =) It does have the vortex generator, and also the wickerbill on the spoiler, the brake cooling scoops and it had the front air dam.

Its not far from that here either :(
if we get pulled over and they discover "illegal" modifications (bigger wheels, lowering kit, big brakes, open filter etc. ) which is not stamped in the pink slip by the dmv we risk losing the license plates or even fines depending on how severe the mods are :(
 
I have regular versions:

106hp 1.6L flex fuel Ford Focus 5door 2010
90hp 1.4L flex Fiat 500 2013

completely ridiculous are the fix it tickets. Excuse me officer, someone as of right now is being robbed or assaulted while Mr. Krispy Kreme over here is writing me a ticket, it wastes my time and his, with the exception that he gets paid to make peoples lives miserable due to quotas and I don't.
 
I love that white Prelude, I have one as well, 1998 Base Model though. Except I have some different headlights. BB6 Love.

3? Three? A friend of mine has 4 Hella 500FFs on his Impreza. Surprised that it's a problem. Yeah, as long as you turn them off near oncoming traffic, I don't see why two would be a problem...

But, isn't it weird having an odd number? The human brain determines attractiveness of something by how symmetrical it looks.... The police officer might've been helping you out with the styling.....

Its a problem because the vehicle regulation rules says only two and we can only have 480lux = 100% max (including the original headlights) :P
But i think it looks better with three than two, and i can adjust the lightbeam exactly where i want to light up the road :)

Here is a picture of it in wintermode btw (rally covers on because, well....... daylight :P )

 
Certain regulations and laws are just downright stupid. @Racers_Edge it seems that you live in a forested, slightly mountainous area based off your picture. It gets dark and dangerous at night from my point of view off a trip to the Touge in Japan, I don't see why cops would get anal about one extra light. As long as your not obviously flashing it directly in the face of oncoming traffic, whats the deal?

You are absolutely right :) its all about the priorities of the cops, caught stealing = slap at the wrist, doing your car safer = fines. Just because theres less paperwork :P
 
Here's my dads old Alfa Romeo 147 GTA

The GTA at Spa-Francorchamp in 2007 (I was 9 at that time) next to an Lotus Cortina and me posing, haha. :-)

The Renault 8 was the closest I could get to the Lotus Cortina
