nah the most shameful RX7 is owned by a guy in Florida who owns a chain of Movie theaters. He has an FD stratch limo. I saw the pic yesterday and it ae me a migrane. The pic was in a magazine and the magazine isnt with me now. I'll try to get a pic of it. Anyone seen this car before. Its silver with a 3 rotor built from Pettit racing. This guy also owns a yellow FD with a 3 rotor in it as well.

Sigh...that car was put together from two broken FDs...one with rear damage and one with front damage. Both were totaled I believe, and Pettit took them and made something unique out of them - they could have ended up in a junkyard instead, so I'm glad that they made something useful out of them

When I see this shot of the limo I can't help think "Back to the Future" or some other movie where they did the cheesy warp speed launch on a car. It looks like the front just 'stretched' away from the rear as it took off and the rear still needs to catch up (ignore the physics fact that its rear wheel drive, this is a cheeesy movie!).

5 minutes with MS Photo Editor and the limo is fixed!

TracyRX7, that would be the Star Trek: the Next Gen. warp speed. The Back to the Future warp was flaming tiretracks (even in the air, iirc) followed by a flash.

Anyway, it reminds me of a Coors or Barq's can.

The limo IMO would look better with more windows. Could someone photoshop some on to see how it looks?

This has already been done, here's the link. This link also contains pictures of the interior, which, in my opinion, looks twice as bad as the exterior.

Here's a recent pic of the pink topless RE AMEMIYA rx7 . . . . The silver is much more classy.

I think this porche conversion looks real nice.

Now THIS is a rice looking re-amemiya rx7! (However i do admit that i love the front bumper )

The F50 is just the bottom of the barrel. Jesus Milhouse Christ.

The RE porsche cars are a joke. How many people p[ut kits on their Porsches and Ferraris so they look like other cars? Reminds of those Rolls Royce grills they used to sell for VW Bugs in JC Whitney.

Jays, (and many of the others) look like tropical fish, with a bunch of useless spines, markings and **** all over them to disuade larger fish from eating them. Total joke. Grow up, get some taste, or buy Hyundai.

Jays car is pretty nuts. However, I would have spent all that money differently for a better result, but thats just me and to each their own right?

I'd say to each his own, but you know what? This is the reason my homeowners association won't let you paint your door pink, or put lawn jockeys out: because it lowers the communities value.

If someone showed up at a Porsche club meeting with a car that looked like that, nobody would talk to him. Each one of these idiotic cars lowers the stature of the model.
