    While at the grocery store locally, I spotted an odd car and then realized that it was just creative damage repair.
    My guess was that he did not like the price they quoted him for the replacement of a front clip. It was not until I looked at the picture that I noticed the bad toe on the rear wheel.
    Sorry for the crappy cell phone picture taken with the window up.

    I guess this is what happens when people stretch their budget for the new car but can't swing the insurance/comprehensive insurance.

    They'll need it when the rear end snaps out around a right-hander.

    Like a Scion xa isn't ugly enough of a car?

    At least he? or she? had both sides on the front done alike so it looks....well, how can you finish that thought?

    They got tired of folks say their car looked like an old high top sneaker?
