It’s cool, but it’s been a done 100x before. There’s a guy over on NASIOC that makes movie car clones as hobby, he was the first one I’ve seen to do this. His was a legit clone made out of a YJ though, not a JK. He also built an Ecto 1 out of a white Dodge Magnum that was pretty sweet.

Funny, I knew a guy with exactly that automotive resume from a little white trash town in Illinois. You don’t also own a Lightning too, do you?

Following someone around and confronting them is an aggressive act in itself. And let’s be honest, if you’re irrational enough and enough of an asshole to chase someone down because they cut you off in traffic, you know god damn well that you’re not doing it so you can have a polite conversation with him. Who do you…

If you follow me into a parking lot, block me in and proceed to engage in an aggressive confrontation with me, do so at your own peril. I’d rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6 because some hot head thinks he needs to “teach me a lesson”. If you’re going to be a badass and chase people around and scream at them…

The problem is, as I said above, is that following people so that you can confront them is an *act of aggression*. I don’t advocate pulling firearms on anyone outside of self defense, but if someone like this guy wanted to confront me and basically try and pick a fight with me over some stupid traffic nonsense, yeah,…

My point is that in your vain effort to save the world from these terrorists that don’t use their turn signal, you’re going to run across an irrational person that just doesn’t give a fuck and is probably armed, who’s going to make you regret being such a sanctomonious, self righteous busybody.

Not a real bright idea. Legally, you could probably consider that harassment, and in a state like Arizona where I live where everyone carries, you’re likely to get a gun pulled on you for your trouble. Personally, if you follow me into a parking lot in order to confront me, you better believe I’m going to be “ready to…

Subaru did something similar when they brought over the WRX STi in 2003. There was a pilot pool of cars they brought over early for magazine tests, media functions, and dealer junkets and the like. After they served their purpose, Subaru actually sold them as legit carsto the public through the dealers. Every once in…

This happens so often when it rains in Arizona that they actually passed a state law that made these people that have to be rescued financially liable for the cost of their rescue. They call it the “stupid motorist law”.

I live a few miles away from Arizona State and I’d wager that’s what I’d encounter over there judging by what I see driving around Tempe. Rich kids from the California in their near-exotics intermingling with the guys in the ghetto cruisers.

Enjoy your college years. You’ve got the rest of your life to chain yourself to debt in order to drive a “nice” car.

Not to be overly pedantic, but they dropped the ‘WRX” in “WRX STI” years ago.

As long as it isn’t Criminal Intent....

Hollywood has to take liberties to make it entertaining. Otherwise, a true to life documentary about car geeks would be boring as hell. If you suspend reality for a moment like you should with most movies, you’ll find them to actually be a bit entertaining.

I literally laughed out loud at that. Thanks, I needed it.

I thought the same thing. As if it were anyone else’s fault but his own....

If you think that story is true, and yes, I’ve seen the video, then I have some beachfront property in Kansas to sell you.

Again, show me a case where *someone specifically broke something and was busted for racing*, and then maybe I might care. Until then, as I said earlier, this is really a nothing-new story designed to give GM fanboys the warm and fuzzies.

NM.

Some of them do, but I haven’t heard of it happening recently. Back in 2003 when the original Mitsubishi EVO came out, Mitsu apparently sent employees out to drag strips, auto-xs and track days to record VIN numbers of EVOs participating to pre-emptively void their warranties.
