Shitty shitty bang bang

Sweet! Shit, I'm outta the loop for a few weeks and everyone's turning out these kick-ass rides... even in my own back yard!

I'm following SuperFly's lead on the nail polish paint job... it's pretty hard to deal with (seems especially bad with my airbrush), but hopefully I'll reel it in. Dry in an hour instead of dry in a week is a huge reason to keep tryin'... especially if the end result is anything like ol' shitty shitty bang bang.

Kick ass SF and hey, somone actually is flossin a micro w/ hard tires on it! Great color sceme and decals. All around, a great "waste" of $2.50.

Those are actually the "soft" tires from the tire sets, with the little block treads rather than the grooved hards. Usually that bluish-grey looks like shit so I never use them. But since this car is shitty, they seemed appropriate.

Ahh all right, never had that set, just the ghey purple, pink, baby blue set and the Microsizer hards. Any how, I like it, and those make way more sense for a rally car.

Great color/graphics choice! A big improvement over stock....

Yeah, I had to look at my tire sets again. Off the top of my head I thought those tires were the mediums.

block tread = soft
black slicks = medium
grooved tread = hard

The bits come with a 'stock' set of tires, very soft.

Yeah, damn, those tire sets were sooooo disappointing to me. I expected the black Mediums to be like stock tires, and the soft even softer than that, but the damn softs are pretty damn hard.

They do get decent grip on my primer covered track, but on tile, forget it, its like driving on ice.
