I like the title to his ad. Also, if you look at his webpage, I see NO performance mods listed...

so, how is this car better than an S2000?


Lame-o

That's the guy who used to have a website featuring his car. . .he called it the BMW del Sol. He has grafted in Z3 vents and older generation Z3 tail lights into his del Sol. Further more, he took BMW emblems and swapped them in for the original Honda emblems.

Supposedly, his website used to never get hits until the online "ricer" community (including riceboypages.com and beaterz.com) linked his site from their sites. All of a sudden this guy started getting hits left and right, and for a moment in time, he put up a page on the site BRAGGING about how many people liked his car, because they kept coming to look at it. He equated his car on the net with Cindy Margolis on the net.

Then one of the major automobile magazines featured his car in the reader's section blasting him for what he had done. I believe it was Road&Track; they even printed a small picture of the car. That little blurb in the magazine got so many ridiculing responses in following issues.

After the owner caught wind that his car was popular in ridicule and nothing more, he promptly took down the site. And as you see, look what he did with the car.

That ebay ad has been up for some time now. I wonder if he's sold the car yet.

C'mmon Guys (and Gals); The number on the roof is just to assure Ed McMahon's "Prize Patrol" doesn't miss him after the superbowl!
It has nothing to do with the fact he lives in a dump and the police helicopters need a reference point.
