What if the patent wasn't for the car, but for a single valve spring design, but they made it appear as though it was for the car?!

Ha! I was/still am astonished to see 'meme' spread throughout online culture. I studied semiotics many years ago: meme, seme, phoneme, morpheme, sememe, etc. was typical research jargon. Bizarre to see 'it' a/effect everyday life.

A really pissed off Kirby! Well, they made Pikachu when they made the MR-S. They might as well make Kirby too.



Note to Rocket Bunny: This is how you do a proper wide body kit. Cover the front of the tires for aerodynamics and leave the rear of the fender open for air extraction.

I still cannot say that I like the look of the S-FR but the widebody kit eliminates the too tall-too narrow look of the car that was the thing that I most disliked about it. If they improve the car with some of the Gazoo car characteristics then I can see it being a popular choice with the younger crowd.

Well, at least those that aren't involved in the big tire, lifted, smoker truck scene which seems to be where all the young enthusiast that actually work on their vehicles are these days.

You've already been living down south too long, don't see many of those idiots up here on the north coast. Can't speak for the middle or south of the state, of course.
