(rubbing hands together)
- What's up guys!
Welcome to another episode of From the Abandoned Gas Station
where we review your rides.
All right?
I brought the daily with.
We got the Jetta SportWagen in the background.
Mix it up a little bit.
Turbo diesel.
Had to bring it out, y'know what I mean?
From the diesel station.
If you want your car

(clap)
with the headline review my ride,
maybe some smiley faces in there
for some bonus points.
And we'll get you added to the list.
So today Gels' picked out some cars for me.
I'm gonna be goin' over 'em
I got roasted last time
because I gave the RX-7 an eight and a half.
But what you guys don't understand
is the first car I review in an episode
it gets tough, it gets tricky.
That's settin' a baseline for the whole episode.
I can't just boom
throw a ten off the gate.
But what if there's better cars?
There's nowhere to go but up.
You can't go any higher than a ten, baby.
That's it.
So the first car's always tricky.
So cut me some slack.
Let's hop into this.
(whoosh)
All right so the first car we have
is a 2013 Scion FR-S.
Gels' pickin' the FR-S I see you.
I see you.
It's on Work VS XX,
front is 18 by nine and a half, negative 19.
Rear is 18 by ten and a half, negative 12.
Those are some aggressive puppies, all right?
We got Federal Evolution ST-1s,
for tires, 215 35 in the front,
and in the rear, 225 35,
so we got some narrow boys
on some thick boys.
All right.
This is a decent stretch on here.
And he is on, of course, some good ol' air lift
air suspension.
(whoosh)
Man.
I really need to bag the wagoon.
'Kay so this is Stancy86's 2013 Scion FR-S.
And let's dive into it.
We got no rubbing or scrubbing.
The fenders are pulled and rolled,
I sure hope so with that setup.
And no wheel spacers.
So.
Damn.
Oo!
The fitment is so on point.
(laid-back music)
Man.
I mean, a lot of people nowadays
are sayin' Work VS XXs are kinda played out,
you see 'em on everything,
it's on every stance build.
(laid-back music)
They look so damn good.
Come on.
Give credit where credit is due.
Damn, those wheels look good on this car.
I love the stance,
I love the subtlety.
They're such an aggressive-style wheel
that you don't need a bunch of crazy arrow
on your car to make your car stand out.
This thing dropped
with just a duckbill spoiler.
(laid-back music)
Side skirts and a lip from what I can tell.
Looks so dang good.
I'm not even normally a fan of silver cars,
but the silver seems to work with this one super well.
I really enjoy this car.
The subtle bit o' carbon fiber on the trunk,
ooh!
I'm trying to think if there's anything to do different.
Man, I just talked about not bein' able to give ten
to the first one.
So I gotta take that into consideration here.
All right.
For a stance build
FR-S.
Done super clean, fitment on point.
Three
two
one
nine and a half.
This thing is hot.
And it is done extremely well.
I'd say extremely tastefully.
Nine and a half.
All right movin' on to the next car
we have a 2012 Subaru WRX
on some Rays Engineering TE37s.
Always a solid choice.
18 by nine and a half plus 40 all around.
Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S.
245 40,
on some Tein Coilovers.
This is Speedwrx.scott's 2012 Subaru WRX.
So.
Hoppin' into this one.
We have no rubbing, no scrubbing.
Trimming over fender
and wide-body trim.
Varis front fenders, Varis.
And then we got some details, all right?
We got the Varis body kit cob one tune.
Invidia Q300.
Ooh, Invidia makes some good exhausts, all right.
Carbon fiber hood.
JDM headlights.
And third brake light
with a 8PR Wang.
I like how he put wang in there.
W-A-N-G.
It's got a wang.
All right, so hoppin'.
And we got a Subaru
world rally blue wide-body kit
aggressive arrow.
Very aggressive.
The, I believe the color is called Eternal Blue.
I might be wrong on that.
But this super dark blue
Volk TE37 is one o' my favorite colors.
Oh.
And it's kinda weird to put a blue on a blue,
but I kinda dig it.
I kinda like this dark blue on this,
I mean world rally blue is kind of a darkish blue
but it's a lot brighter than what these wheels are.
In some pictures, they almost come off
as like a black.
It looks really good.
Damn, Gels' givin' me some good ones.
Like, there's not much else you could do to this car.
Got the carbon fiber wing,
maybe you could do a carbon fiber hood,
or carbon fiber trunk.
Which I don't know, is this a carbon fiber hood
that's painted, or is it
a regular hood that's painted?
Either way, carbon would almost be too much.
If you did a hood or a trunk
the car is so aggressive and has so much going on already
it's tough to
say, I mean, what could be better about this?
Maybe if it was an STI?
I mean, I believe this is about as good
as a WRX gets, externally.
Very clean.
Fitments on point.
Y'know it's kinda like that track-inspired look
which I really dig.
Man, I dunno if I'm feelin' generous
or what, but three
two
one
nine and a half.
Another nine and a half.
I'm right there.
One's gonna push me over the edge, I think, today.
I think we might get a ten if it keeps goin' at this rate.
The thing is just insanely clean.
I really like how it's put together
and the theme of it.
All right.
Movin' on to the third car,
we have a 2015 Volkswagen Beetle.
On some classic BBS RSs,
18 by ten in the front, plus 16.
And then in the rear we have 18 by 11 plus ten.
So we got staggered setup
on a front wheel drive beetle.
All right.
I see it, lil strange.
But do it for the fitment.
For the fitment!
All right.
Nankang NS2s, on the front, 215 45
in the rear 225 45
so again, some serious stretch goin' on.
That's a pretty solid stretch setup.
And of course it's on air lift performance
air suspension, which I think Gels
is trying to tell me somethin'.
(sigh)
'Kay so this is Earthtomillie's 2015 Volkswagen Beetle.
(laid-back music)
No rubbing or scrubbing.
Fenders rolled.
No spacers, detail's tons o' mods listed here.
I really like to see this.
I won't
list all of 'em because there is
woo, a lot.
So I'm just gonna skip over here.
We have a front grill upgrade,
max in side skirts, max in splitter.
Smooth front bumper, chassis notch.
So you can get that puppy low.
Magnetic removable rear plate.
Okay.
All right.
Custom shift boot,
Euro Spec steering wheel, Recaro Sportster CS seats.
Re-trimmed in Napa leather.
All right.
So let's look at this thing.
Wow, those seats are crazy.
And then I really like the color o' the wheels
on the gray, it looks almost like the wheels
are like a rose gold form what I can tell,
from the images.
And dang, that's cool.
The seat color
it really adds a lot to the interior.
It gives it so much more pop.
I mean I guess if you're gonna rock a convertible
you want the interior to pop too.
And that's a lot of things I see with cars nowadays,
you'll go all out on one thing
and then the interior's usually forgotten about
or left behind, so it's really cool to see
when people bring the exterior mods
all the way to the inside.
And just complete the overall look of everything.
So I love to see that too.
The fitment on here
absolutely on point.
It's right fender to lip.
Which you like to see on a stance setup.
At least what I like to see.
Some people like tucked.
I like flush.
Right on there, perfect.
Convertibles I'm not a huge fan.
Especially a convertible Beetle.
(laid-back music)
Prolly not my first choice.
But they still pulled off a great look.
It looks really good, the car is super solid.
I love the gray,
the seats are so damn good.
Again, what do you
what else do ya do to the Beetle?
Gels sent me some heaters today.
(laid-back music)
I don't know what else you could do to this car.
I mean I wish it was a hard-top
but I mean, that's out of the question.
All right.
I'm doin' it.
Three
two
one
ten.
(shouting)
I have to!
I got the girl in the background.
I mean, I'm biased today, I had to.
I mean, it's perfect.
The fitment's perfect,
the mods are subtle yet noticeable.
The interior is spot-on.
This is one gangster Beetle.
I dunno what else to say.
It got a ten.
There's some heater cars today.
I guess I'm just feelin' extra nice.
All right moving on to the last car o' the day,
we have a 2015 Lexus RC350 F Sport.
Banger.
On some Rohana RFX13s
front 20 by nine plus 35 rear 20 by ten plus 40.
On some Toyo Extensa HPs.
245 35 in the front,
and 275 35 in the rear.
So we got a lotta stretch goin' on here.
On air lift performance,
this is Blitzz underscore RCs 2015 Lexus.
Hoppin' into this one right away,
we got some details, we got some carbon fiber
side mirrors, carbon fiber shift knob.
Custom exhaust, in a Maxton design body kit.
Lots o' body kits today.
(laid-back music)
Oh man.
This thing
looks gnarly.
Looks so good.
And on these Lexus luxury vehicles,
Rohanas are complimented so well.
They come in those nice big boy sizes.
Because the cars nowadays
are gettin' so big-bodied,
20s barely even look like 20s.
Like they just look like they fit the car.
I feel like back in the day
you throw 20s on somethin' it was like damn!
You got some big ol' giants on there!
Y'know what I'm sayin'?
Nowadays, 20 is gettin' normal.
19, 20 is like a regular size.
But man.
He is able to air the (beep) out on those 20s.
And it just looks super good.
I love the color of the Rohanas
against the lightish silver-ish gray-ish color of the Lexus.
Airlift suspension obviously a great choice.
Makin' me want it even more on the wagoon.
The wheels are perfect, they're a little tucked,
but with a body kit like that,
I mean, you're gonna have to get some big boys on there.
He already has 20 by ten so maybe a little bit lower offset
and you could've
(tongue click)
brought 'em out a little bit
but I'm sure he's just goin' for the
I wanna tuck it, I wanna air it all the way out
I don't wanna worry about crunchin' my fenders
or anything like that.
So I respect it.
The Maxton design kit on here
looks super good.
The lip, the side skirts,
oo, just all flows together really well.
This is another car that's beautifully done.
I'd like to see maybe
I dunno there's a lotta chrome on here,
and I'm not a huge chrome guy.
So maybe vinyl wrap,
around the chrome grill black
and then around the window trim black.
I actually did that on this.
I'm not a huge fan
of chrome bits.
Still looks good, still looks clean.
That's my personal preference,
I'm tryin' to nitpick this a little bit
because all these cars have just been fire.
And I don't know what else to say.
I mean this thing is just hot.
I would drive the hell outta this.
Rohana RFX13s were a phenomenal
choice for this car, the Toyos on there,
what more do you want?
What more do you want outta your RC350, bro?
So good.
So.
Three
two
one
nine.
Nine and a half?
Nine and a half.
(laid-back music)
So I've rated all the cars nine and a half, nine and a half
ten, and nine and a half.
What the hell?
What a frikkin' crazy episode.
