at the risk of being considered racist, wouldn't someone have to be of Asian heritage to drive that car with a straight face?

I'm pretty sure the shop those pictures are in front of is the one that couldn't align Short's Civic properly.

Did you at least get the alignment special they have advertised on the door?

Nope, that special had ended, plus they upcharged me by about 50% because it took them 3+ hours (plus a redo the next day) to get the alignment done. However their issue was not that the car was being 'tricky' to align, it was the tech's incompetence on using simple eccentric bolts (even with me drawing a diagram for him to use).

Maybe that sign was printed wrong and it was suppose to read "Special Alignment" instead of "Alignment Special"? :roll:

Seriously? The Subaru BRZ will be out next year and won't have a plastic rear window or require a roll cage for a track day.

And the STI BRZ will (hopefully) be out the year after with a proper turbocharged motor. :)


VVV Chassis is designed to be able to have the roof removed. It was also designed with lengthening in mind for a 4 door.
