Cars that are SUPER low and have big horsepower, strokers out back. The big tires are utilizing half, or less, of their contact patch. Then when you romp on it the car squats even more, meanwhile the exhaust and sump are scraping the pavement.

yeah no kidding. What ARE those cars for?

That sadly hits a very serious note. You have no idea how close you are on that one, Keith. When you're out here, I'll explain the tragic story that goes with it.

Other than that... funny thread, people. Keep 'em flowin'.

You say...
 RHD California Look.
Guilty as charged! 

You say...
RHD fake US spec '67.
Well, I've got a RHD '67 with upright headlights - which is part of the US spec 'package' so...
Guilty as charged with no signs of remorse for my crime.

I say...

When it comes to trans Atlantic spec-envy you forget to mention the  most common mismatch...

...Euro blades on a US Spec Bug!

Will the accused please rise?

One at a time please or people will think it's another Northridge shaker!

Exactly!
 The important word is 'look'- If YOU think something looks OK that's all the matters.

I like '67's with upright headlights - that's why my RHD UK '67 has them.
 If someone else doesn't like it, well, I ain't gonna have a sleepless night worrying about it.
