Either that's a really good joke or the next picture would be even funnier.

Considering they are using WHEEL STRAPS on the dyno I wonder if they got the wheels to turn over...

I knew the Miata had a lot of options, but I never heard FWD was one!

the morons at the emissions testing station told me my 91 caprice was front wheel drive and put the front wheels on the rollers for the test. guy 1 told me, i told him no it is RWD, guy 2 came over and said they havent made a RWD car since the 80's.

I would have pulled out my camera phone, hit record, and then prepared to call my lawyer.

Seriously.... i would have jumped all over that oppurtunity. It's their job to know how to do their job, not yours.

I wonder if i put Supra badges on my car if they would put the rear wheels on the rollers. I sure could use the cash.

You should just put Celica Supra badges on it, I guarantee one of their minds would blow.

Yo Dawg, dat thang gots a 2jz?!?!

It's actually in the process of being de-badged when i have the time to finish it.

I WILL say that the "Handling By LOTUS" emblems that i took off a Stylus then naturally put on it garner some interesting looks. It looks hilariously OEM.

Good thing you don't own a 1-3rd gen celica. The attendant was in tears when my friend got done screaming.
