Yesterday, I was on the I-290 here in terroristville USA, (that\'s buffalo....) and I saw a powder blue plymouth acclaim with a GIGANTIC f*cking wing on the back of it. You know, the bolt-on ones that stand about a foot off of the trunk? It also had the chrome-plastic wheel covers from target, and "Italian Ice" in huge white letters on the windshield AND the rear window. :rolleyes:
My GF and I followed him for a while, hoping to see where he lived so I could take a pic for you guys...
-

:laughing:
that\'s the same wing the little greaseball had on his acclaim!
-
Admit it, you just wanted to see how much he wanted for it.
-
Cars with big fins definitely don\'t work unless you happen to make it look like a race car.
-
I don\'t think anything could make an acclaim look like a race car.
-
The funniest part about it is all these kiddies throwing those big "picnic tavles" on the back of their front wheel drive cars... yea, that\'s all you need, more weight in the rear.

careful now..rear wings ARE in fact functional on FWD cars. Most that you see dont provide any function..but it is very real.

I like a trick car but you can go to far,the worst part is that car looks like it would have been quite a nice car????? I think anyway,can\'t tell with all the plastic on.And please get rid of those blue flame..........hang on a minute,blue flame.
C\'mon luckee a FWD needs downforce on the front,the back wheels are just rolling.If it was going to let go it will be the front.Me thinks your trying to justify your fins???? ;)
-
at high speed the FF\'s need some downforce on the rear. But they just need a little lip, or wing, by no means a 4 foot spoiler.
-
Well there you go,You learn something new every day.The only time I\'ve had a front wheel drive sideways is with handbrake,but you guys would probably know 20x what I do about cars.All I know is accelerator,brake and steering wheel.(my cars an auto)
-
Yes..light weight FWD cars tend to get a little tail happy at high speeds..trust me..I know from the drag strip. Not very fun when it feels like the rear will get loose at 130+
-
HAHAHAH AN ACCLAIM! WHAT A PIECE...
I bet you anything, somehow, sammy is related to him :D
