    Truth In Photography

    Just to drive this home, I submit to you OJ Simpson: When Time magazine ran this cover, they gave their illustrator "creative license" to artistically interpret the image. This practice has been common with magazines for decades. All those beautiful women who grace magazine covers are...

    #TheMineCar

    Yeah, the new one is a silver GT 2.4 turbo. Got a few mods on it, currently sitting @ around 250hp (stock is 180). Probably won't invest anything else in it, because going up to a Stage 3 turbo is some serious coin.
