Be careful who you sell your car to, even the average unassuming 60+ year old gentleman can be responsible for this monstrosity:



And it used to look like this:



To think I hung up the phone to a kid who asked "does it beat evo's???"

That would suck to see the car you have put so much into, being changed by someone else.

Hey Jeremy, thats funny. Your car is sitting in the garage exactly the same as you sold it to me. You did a great job on it, and I get compliments all the time! Havn't talked to you in a while. I'll send you an e-mail.

Bad timing for the meet, it was raining cats and dogs that day! But Chicago guys meet up all the time, I hope to see Adam's car one of these days!

The guy actually is a recruiter/volunteer for a technical school. He goes to HS's and gets kids interested in trade school if they are not considering college. He's 60+ years old and actually has a pretty cool car collection. But he wanted a "tuner" car since most of his cars are Porsche's, etc. I saw him once after I sold him the car and he mentioned "I'm going to get a bigger wing, because the kids love it!"

Yikes

I hope he doesn't let the HS kids tear it apart so they can learn to re-build it

So... All he did was replace the small spoiler with a big carbon fiber GT wing.

Trust me, there are way worse things that he could have done. I was expecting stick on Pep Boys fender vents or something when I opened this thread.
