it almost looks like some sort of oil cooler, but why mount it externally?

most of those pictures had me doing my Arsenio Hall impersonation...

if this one just had a slightly larger rear spoiler, it would be awesome

Boy, those are some f-up cars. One man's nightmare is another man's dream

I just noticed another thing, they seem to like mounting their tranny/engine oil cooler mounts on the front bumper of the car for everyone to see. Maybe they think it's cool because it looks like an intercooler

I am really quite amazed at the snow plow look. How can anyone look at that and say it looks good. That has to be the stupidest thing I have seen done to a car, other than that gigantic pink spoiler.

and I thought that my stupid neighbor's butt-ugly riced out Hyundai (featuring items such as both a 8" fart can AND fake side exhausts from Wal-Mart ) looked retarded... these cars make his Tiburon actually look somewhat appealing, and that's not sayin' much.

I remember those days back in the early-mid 80's. Seems that the anime of the period inspired some car mods. I'm glad we don't see Gundam's current incarnation translated to cars.

Self expression was obviously different then and over there.
