Because they are retarded and know nothing about the car they own - a reason to stay clear.

Mine says Blitz on the exhaust, best advertise it as a 'rare Blitz demo car' :)

Because people who know nothing about mr2s get drawn in and pay over the odds for the car. In the car trade industry they call it "sticking it right up you" ;)

I guess the guy just wants the car to stand out from the 100's of other red MR2's on ebay! Personally i think it looks like a nice car! :D

"It still out accelerates virtually every car on the road"

What does this false boast mean?.. it out accelerates every car, but only in your own head?

nice.

I've got the same TRD sticker for my car, but never put it on.

Miguel from New Era sent it over to me after a chat about a "razo" sticker that was on the car when it was in Japan.

Glad I didn't put it on there, don't want people to take the p155. :wink:
