Default Looky what I saw on the freeway the other yesterday.




it's hard to see in the pics, but it is not a Cobra, it's a SUPER 7!!! That guy was just cruising down the freeway, that ---- sounded so badass. I would love to have one of thems.

11 second jdm hatch would be nice, but I think I'd rather have one of these. It'd be just a badass car period. I must admit the look is sorta like a dune buggy, but it's a ------ machine and I would love to have one.
