Default got a new "shredder"

driving the evo 1 to paint shop. felt really weird. first felt like brakes were dragging. then it felt like tires were out of balance, BAD. then it felt like front end fell apart. pulled over to find this.



guess there is something to dry rotted tire fear.

Not a big fan of white. You can detail the hell out of it and you just can't get the wet look from white like darker colors.

I have always liked white. Hides imperfections better that any color. easy to spot repair. looks great old and faded. its all personal preference. Black is the hated for me. Dark colors show dust too easy, and are boring at night. I prefer bright , simple, light colors.

as far as this car goes. there is no point in changing the original color. white is a strong original color. weak original colors deserved color changes.
