Message	They take a week or two, put together little studies and make a show. There has been plenty of stuff "Busted" by them that was actually wrong. (They've even busted their own busts after fans tell them how to "Confirm" it.) Basic color theory would tell you that bright red sports car is a target over shit brown wagon. Same goes for the wheels, it makes you more of a target to have black painted wheels, making you look "rally-style" over the plain painted Z wheels. (Although shiny chrome doesn't let you off the hook either.) "Is this why my car sounds like a skeleton jacking off?" > blackomega
