My take on this hella flush scene is that its hella silly. Especially when its done to a car like STi, EVO, Supra etc. These cars are not meant to be hard parked but driven.
VIP scene, thats fine but other than that, i think its a waste of a great machine.
So they clarify that he DOES use the roof rack, because they don't like when people put roof racks on cars just for looks, or being trendy. But in the same article praise it for being slammed, rendering the car way less functional and just for looks, and trendy.
Roof rack for looks= uncool.
STI for looks=cool.
I mean, don't get me wrong, I think the car looks good. But that doesn't make a ton of sense to me..
