Because that much weight matters? I never got it. Especially when they look as crappy as that pic. Why not drill holes in the body too? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)
But there are some famous cars with that treatment, so be it. |

When history is fugly and useless. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Let's please stop the "just because" thinking. This mystifies me. Why did he do it? I respect Ralph, but this shouldn't be a thing. Or please convince me how else this makes sense? I'm open minded, sell me. |
