My IS300 and a skyline...
 
I figured I'd take a stab at posting this here... I took some shots of my previous daily / drift beater before I parked it up for the winter. I know it's not for everyone, but it's beat up because it gets used, and I like it.

I respect any car that's used and still looks pretty damn good

Specs on what? The wheels, engine, whole car?

I'm unsure of what you want explained or why it would be disrespectful.

I love the IS300, but I'd go in the other direction: sleeper wagon with 6-speed Supra turbo driveline :)

I like it, its tastefully moddifed.

I think the guy above wanted to know why you strech your tires, since most people see it at stupid and pointless.

blur 12-18-2012 03:01 PM

Sexy! but the blue tint ... has to go.

mact 12-18-2012 03:03 PM

Is that Halsted St?

DarkSunrise 12-18-2012 03:05 PM

Looking for honest feedback? If I saw that on the street, I would think cheap rice with the huge wing, body kit, blue lights, and stretched tires.

As long as you like it though, that's all that matters. Seriously. Who cares what I (or anyone else thinks), do what makes you happy.

TOMIMOTO 12-18-2012 04:11 PM

False advertising. Where is the skyline?........... Ohhhh. I see what you did there.

Sleepers are lame and only good for drag racing... Which is also lame.

I wouldn't say it's tastefully modded, but yeah, I could see how that's what he was asking about.

I mean you don't build a car like this unless you're doing it for yourself, cause I've had plenty of people talk down on it, and I wouldn't change a thing... But cheap rice? It has Work wheels, a Buddy Club wing, JDM TRD front bumper and side skirts... I fail to see what's cheap about it... As for the styling of it, it's a drift car, it's supposed to look loud and obnoxious.

the only thing more lame than sleepers are gigantic wings. when i check to gauge the quality of a car i basically ignore all the obvious items and simply ask what tires and coilovers they use. id rather have a $2500 budget for tires and $800 for rims than the other way around
