As cheeseball as it is, if people want to do that to a mass-produced new Subaru, that's one thing. What really irks me is when you see older cars, ones that had relatively low production runs, getting the same treatment. I believe there are certain cars out there that, after a certain time, become rolling time capsules, and we need to try to preserve them for future car guys to enjoy.
This makes me sad:
An air-cooled 911 should not be getting its suspension destroyed or body modified so some poseur can look cool to his high school peers and polak. These are the types of cars, that because of all the safety and environmental regs, we will never see again. You just don't see the same hand-build, forever-car build-quality in a modern Porsche...no matter what the company's marketing department tries to tell you.
It's one thing to do what Singer does, and take a donor-911 and do an extremely high quality restomod that honors and enhances the qualities of the original...it's a whole other thing totally ruin a perfectly good car in the name of "stance". You're not only being a giant poseur, you're ruining a dwindling stock of cool cars, and driving up the price of any existing ones. Some cars are virtually impossible to find unmolested these days (I mean good luck trying to find a clean RX7 or MR2 anymore).
