I'm way too newb to notice the differences between a TAlon Eclipse, and genuine. Especially when the wheel is 10 ft away, and the front end of the car is scraping on the ground . . . wasn't really looking at details. All I remembered was the taillights were blacked out, and it was all black.

He just needs a couple of friends to suit on the back right corner and he's golden.   Rally style.

Saw this car for sale on Craigslist, mentioned how it has big wheel spacers. Probably cause of the wheel that fell off (doesn't look like a control arm/ball joint failure that u see commonly on 2g's

Poor bastard for sure (the car), but yeah it looks pretty abused and not taken care of at all.
I would guess that the spacers were of fake make brand from China bought off ebay and that's what probably led to this failure.
Someone owning a DSM and treating it like this is no different than a homeless person with a dog, just can't help but feel sorry for it.  :'(

Love the line "all maintenance done at home".  Totally would trust all his work after that.
