You see that this car has had some rough times. Lots of decay around the wheel wells and along the bottom of the door. Even the trim on the passenger's side door has fallen (literally) victim to the elements, it seems. Odd, considering how shiny the paint is. And now that you think about it, look back at the top picture. The trim is missing from behind the driver's door window.
You got me. This is exactly why I have this car up here. I thought that the only money put into rusty cars was for a bumpin' system and some tint. Maybe even some phat chrome wheelcovers. But actual alloy wheels (that aren't made by American Racing)? That seems a tad unwise, unless the owner is planning on keeping those wheels for another car. Better hope that next car has the same bolt pattern and offset. How easy is it to sell a rusty CRX up on blocks anyway?
Or, he could be building some sort of super-rice-mobile. One whose body kit covers the entire lower portion of the car, thereby covering up the rust and allowing him to sell it for loads more cash to some kid who thinks his car is cool, if he should ever choose to sell it. But then the question is: will he keep the wheels if that's the case?
Well, my super-rice-mobile guess was fairly close. We see that the wheels are still on the car. And the owner hasn't even tried repairing the body or paint damage in the many months since I took the original pictures. (Nice job of aiming your foglights, by the way.) I know. I know. There's nothing ricey about the car from this angle.
This is new! It seems that, instead of buying bondo & paint, the owner decided to spring for a Racitve exhaust with those silly-looking stick-out-then-up DTM tips.
You know, this page wouldn't even exist if those wheels & that exhaust were on a CRX with a nice body. But it's a damn shame (and a great reason to take pictures) when your wheels and exhaust are worth more than your car.
