I don't see many good things about that car, spend $100 and throw a kit on a car and it will look like that lol.

I don't speak that language, so I guess the good is supposed to be regarding its engine, speeds and so on?

[GP-JT]

Yeah, car looks like crap.

[rocketcity]

Let me redefine my response. The "Nice Car" that I was responding to was the "Mercedes". Not the car the original OP was pointing out. I think that is one.... well, I'll be nice, and say it resembles a car.
