How does one ruin pretty much every panel on a car in less than 50k miles

http://phoenix.craigslist.org/nph/cto/4298869022.html

I think that is the same car that was listed as "mint" previously and it looks even less "mint" now. How in the hell do they think that's worth $8,500?
LOL no kidding
Theres a very interesting variety of s2000s on craigslist right now
Also drove my s2000 for the first time in almost 3 weeks today. Its been on the back burner lol

It's not his car. His car was taken down to the frame, and then sold. I don't know whether is was for scrap or to be rebuilt.

VE is insane!! Doesnt hurt that he finds great locations and great subjects to shoot. I think the crasiest part of his work is that each final product is made up sometimes of dozens of individual shots that are all combined in post. He takes shots at multiple apertures, shutter speeds, polarizations, background states, and multiple vehicle speeds.

Below is a screen capture showing how many shots he takes to create one single rig shot.

His pictures are amazing. I would love to have one of those but I am a long ways away from having the editing skills to do something like that.

Ivan have you read up on the new powerplants? They doubled the KERS output this year and it looks like they are using the KERS output to pre-spool the turbo so that it kicks in instantly upon acceleration rather than suffering from turbo lag! Also the turbo spools up to a max of 100,000 rpm! Insane!!! 600 HP from the boosted 1.6 liter V-6, plus another 120 or so from the KERS unit. So much win!!

So I been kicking the idea of parting my car and selling it to pick up a GTR but I'm torn since I have pretty much all the parts to finish the car. Another option is selling all my parts, putting s2k back to stock and enjoy it for a bit, sell it, get gtr.

Do what makes you happy and makes sense for you. Life is too short. S2000 is a great car but a GTR is a whole different league. If you get one, can I be the first to get a ride. Ha Ha.
