If you want to see a different Bmw Z4 car photo, then you should go in the Jiangsu province from Jiangyin city because there, you’ll find a Bmw tribute made by Dai Geng.

That tri turbo Ford Mustang isn’t an environmental friendly car for sure and you can see it in the dragster video! Car racing events like this one, usually tend to “help” planet Earth in successfully installing Global Warming and that’s a very bad thing for those who want a clean environment but the auto world seems to enjoy seeing such a smoke fest coming from tri turbo Mustangs which are modified into dragsters.

You guys have to protect the environment by not going to events which involve dragsters or any kind of car racing if you still want to breathe some fresh air.

That amount of smoke can save a beekeeper from an angry bee colony that’s 10 miles away! :D

If you think that this dragster video with the tri turbo Mustang is just a funny auto thing, well think again! Yes, it’s a smoke fest made out of different shades of gray and even if the dragster has a horrible frankenstein diesel engine sound, in the end you’ll see the wonders from under the hood, yes, the place where you can find the car engine :) .
