Saw one at the carwash we're members at (yes lazy because kids) and saw it's 4 wheel steering in action it's kinda crazy but still shocking how bad its turning radius is.

yeah im not saying emissions is bullshit. just the stance your state takes on it. if things are clean, theyre clean. no reason to be ultra heavy handed on it.

It was never certified for US emissions though. I don't think there's any way to make that legal in CA, is there?
I think about all the things we could have done, all the miracles we could have achieved, if we were all just a little bit better than it turns out we are.

"its got a super rare ECU that gives it an additional 50hp." - Yea right, lol! Car only has 70hp from the factory. lol.

It is addicting though. Somehow he's managed to make that cappuccino look and sound like a turd.
