Location: San Antonio, TX		Beautiful. It's funny when something is really nice it's the flaws that stand out. As I browsed through the pictures I kept asking myself. Why is this car standing up so high? At least to my eye it is. Wonderful car.

Why is this car standing up so high? - To expose more of the rear whitewalls and make them easier to clean.  Or perhaps they go off-roading with it?  :)

BEAUTIFUL CAR THOUGH!

Location: Lubbock, TX		I've run into a bunch of cars where the previous owner either re-arched the rear springs or bought new ones that were too arched. So they then crank the torsion bars up to match it. I've always followed the example of the auto-show display cars, so they're low to the ground, sleek, etc... This high and stodgy look is antiquated and doesn't emphasize the jet-age styling.

Location: So. Cal		I actually prefer it a little high just like this. But I guess I am weird too.

Location: Lubbock, TX		I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and assume that it's only on the first catch and not fully down.

I was thinking the same thing,that the hood wasn’t latched all the way down.
