I saw this a few days ago, but just couldn’t bring myself to admit it. (And yes, I saw the first one in the theater as well.)

I read somewhere that the big bank this Diesel-less sequel scored proves that it’s the cars which are the real stars of the show. Even with that in mind ahead of time, I’m at a loss to explain why. These are basically Mitsubishis, kids, but made even uglier with the application of loud, garish colors and decals.

The whole after-market industry is very foreign to me, and not just because so much of it is so ugly. I guess it’s because I’m biased towards the manufacturers. I want to believe that the full-time vehicle designers and engineers knew what they were doing, and if they didn’t think a huge-ass spoiler was necessary, then it probably isn’t.

But then somebody mentions the Aztek, and I think maybe these people don’t know what the fuck they’re doing after all.
