It looks E36 M3, and I don't mean that in a good way.

That's the "Hot Wheels car after being stepped on by Uncle Walter" look -- very snazzy!

"The tyres will wear out quite quickly because of the excessive camber. The last issue is that the car is quite erratic while driving because of the suspension geometry being put all out of whack. "

At least he's willing to admit it lol. The re-enforced oil pan was a little ghetto, but i have to admit, I find these "urban" cars more appealing every day. By that I mean, carefully placed stickers and murals. I'm not going to get banned for saying that am i lol.

I feel like its a shallow attempt at a banksy style piece.

I should say "street art" actually.

I didn't get it either. Until I saw mcp001's link, the best guess I had was that the dude on the left was offering the other guy the telephone b/c someone wanted to speak to him. But the guy on the right didn't have any arms to hold the receiver. Thus making fun of paraplegics everywhere. Boy was I way off base.

They achieved that camber by using a bolt behind each hub as a spacer. There's a picture of it online somewhere. It's a super scary suspension setup to say the least.

edit: found it

I have a fever, and the only prescription it is more camber!

I'm generally not a violent guy, but I feel the urge to smack that guy upside the head.......one for actually driving a car that could break at any moment and go careening off into a mini-van full of kids, and two for printing that horribly tastless image on the hood.

what kind of asshat does that? Whats next? An image of holocaust victims on the roof?

Some folks shouldn't be allowed to breed, this guys parents for instance.
