Oh that stance!

So what's the miles per tire on that, like 100?

Okay, no huge grille.

Will a bigger airdam compensate for lack of grillishness?

I'm not sure how "mini" this thing is, or if it ever was if it still qualifies. After the first quarter-ton of fiberglass geegaws, I think such minutiae as "mini-" ness goes out the window.

Those are some serious side skirts, but all the benefit goes away when you get to the double sized (!?) rear wheel well.

No, that's a full sized van. You'd expect the aero elements to be bigger.

I dunno, but I recently saw a Civic that was "stanced" like that on the side of a rough road. It looked like the tire popped off its bead and lost all the air pressure.... which dropped it all the way to the ground and tore up the ground effects. The owner was looked very perplexed as I drove by. I presume he was thinking "how the F do I get a jack under it...?"

Plenty of room under the outer edge of the rim!

At least they're generous to provide refreshments at the front 'bumper.'
