    Actually they only merrit an "honerable mention". To actually receive the darwin award, you have to successfully remove yourself from the gene pool. Either via death or other means of stopping reproduction.

    Did you see where they were standing? I only posted the before pic because it would have been in bad taste to post the after pic.

    I bet it will work if you put the car in reverse.

    Doug- IIRC, you were once a science teacher. If you say it will work, I believe you. Now someone go try it and report back.

    That looks like a pretty slick floor. I wonder how long it took to unwind the straps from the rear axle

    You'd think with the hood open they might get a clue that it isn't FWD.

    Is there really an after pic?

    Not so fast.

    The Acura Legend and Saab 900 come to mind as car with longitudinal engines and FWD.

    And they weren't nearly as gay, and thus obviously FWD, as a Miata.

    Several years ago when the emissions tests first started they did this to my car. When they pulled the fan around and put it in front of the car, I ran in and stopped them before tragedy happened. Idiots.
