Yeah, these cars are getting pretty bad lately...The original RWB cars seemed
to be built as pure track-rats; which was so cool. With the increase in
popularity, and the warm embrace from the stance-bro crowd, the new
cars are total poser. This chrome one is the tackiest of all RWB I've seen.

I always post this video because this is what RWB was before the orders came
flying in: (And Luke Huxham videos are rad!) ...and because of the sound of a
blow-off valve on a flat-6!

The chrome 993 is definitely wrapped. It doesn't do it for me though, the wing has to go and the chrome has to go.

Large fenders have a place, as shown this weekend in France. These had the GO to match the SHOW:

I wouldn't want my only 993 to be a RWB, but it sure would be fun to have a RWB with 500hp turbo'd up... I'd have to make sure to allocate my vacation for jail time.

I never thought I'd lower my 993 as low as I have, but I saw this "ultimate stance" series of pics and realized I could indeed be a stance-bro and get that 993 down on the ground!

I don't even understand what I just watched. Why would a crowd of people possibly want to stand around and watch cars drive in and out of a driveway? Is this really a thing people do?

Yeah, I don't get the appeal either..But the idea is to watch people in extremely
low cars navigate up and down a driveway without scraping..haha. As
ridiculous as this sounds; apparently it isn't new, hot rod culture did it
back in the day as well.

This is really a thing people do. It's just on different scale depending on tax bracket. Nothing new here.
