Lol, that’s a little harsh. Gal Gadot without any competition.

That’s concerning. I hope it’s because it’s not old school enough.

What if I’m wearing a blue TB Rays hat while riding a white and red Impala in the Tampa Bay Area?

The real low rider clubs would not claim to know this person. Looks kinda low budget compared to the incredible artwork usually displayed in this style of modified cars.

I think the second one. In the area I highlighted below it looks like the sticker is over the damage.

edit: well both can still be true actually. May have done the damage themselves and then added the stickers to get a laugh out of it.

I figured it may have been self inflicted and the owner might decide a couple funny stickers are cheaper than a deductible; but either way I laughed a bit so I figured I’d share it.

The boys pulled out all the stops to get it back and screwed together for it's first track outing since 2016! Took it to anglesey, unfortunately i couldn't make it but the car made it back in one piece, only casualty being a broken SC impeller which obviously stopped play, will be adding some finishing touches to the map with a live session and fitting the dash panels before the next TD at silverstone in november...

Such a cool Lotus. Glad you were able to get it back up and running and out on the track. That has to be very enjoyable in that environment. Minus the broken impeller of course.

This is what I’ve got. Both childhood dream cars in various forms. Not exactly what I had planned for the year, but pretty solid. Looking to add an Aston Martin V8 Vantage once I have space and money ALSO Rennsport at Laguna is coming up late this month my dudes!

Have a 96 Viper GTS blue/white. Was a poster car for me growing up. Can say it doesn’t disappoint.
