Amen to that brotha.
One of our technicians at work has a civic that's so low it would high-center in gravel and it's hideous IMO. Sure, it's his car and he can do what he wants with it, but it does make my stomach turn upside when I see it done to a twin. I love this car and plan on keeping it a long time, but I would hate for them to be seen as the next civic. They're absolutely gorgeous when modded cleanly. |

Honestly, I'd rather have someone be critical of my mod decision than be fake about it and pretend if it's a good idea. We need to stop with this "we're all winners" movement that's going on where we pretend that Precious is as hot as Beyonce.

Sorry, but it won't fly... the source of lift is too far aft, causing the CG to be too far forward. At best, it would fly hanging nose down, so you would need rotation of the body downward to maintain lift. At best, the wing would act as a good set of elevators, but you are going to need some large canards on the front, and a decent swept wing on the roof line.
Also, the exhaust ports couldn't possibly produce enough thrust to maintain flight, you'll need some fart cans added for that. A pair of JATOs might help to cover the torque dip during takeoff spin-up. Either that, or they are using Star Wars universe laws of aerodynamics! ![]() I am still laughing at the pic though!

I wish there were pics of the owners of some of these as well. Flatbills are probably involved.
