Making this to post pictures of cars you see yourself or see on the internet, that have had things done to them that people should be burned at the stake for. Crappy mods, stupid looking stuff that they probably think is great, post it here, give us a laugh.

I'll start. A Lotus Elise is usually a really nice car, but not this one...

Yes that is flip paint and metalflake glitter paint on the same car!

Kevin · May 1, 2007, 09:57 AM

Oh that isn't too bad.

Reminds me of the 70s. Those iron on glitter images.

IceEnclosure · May 1, 2007, 10:10 AM

Sorry, but color-shifting paint is pretty cool. Maybe had it been a Cavalier, but Elises are almost always badass.

flat black on the same page:

G4ME · May 1, 2007, 10:15 AM

i really wanted this thread to be about cribbage, oh well.

Kevin · May 1, 2007, 10:16 AM

That is a bad-assed batmobile.

I agree, but it depends on the colour, blue purple is usually great looking, but this gold/green/red isn't so nice (reminds me of oil in a puddle). And the metalflake on top of the flip is too much.

Are you posting the flat black because it looks like crap?? Because it doesn't, it looks great.

This on the other hand, looks like crap

IceEnclosure · May 1, 2007, 11:02 AM

no, sorry. the flat black i posted cause it looked cool. i know this is a car-garbage thread, but i haven't seen anyyet, so I wanted something to look at.

Pacer? (The one that blew up when shunted from behind?)

sek929 · May 1, 2007, 11:47 AM

You are thinking of the Pinto, I think.

The Crown Vic did that too.

ajprice · May 1, 2007, 11:58 AM

OK, maybe it was one of those, not sure, all I remember is that the car had the fuel tank behind the rear axle or something. The company preferred to pay out for deaths and injuries than recall or change the car, because it cost less.

Anyway, this, I think is a real garbage car. As much as I like Smarts, this is hideous.

sek929 · May 1, 2007, 12:06 PM

6 exhaust tips?

Dakarʒ · May 1, 2007, 12:08 PM

Well, yeah. 7 is just crazy.

sek929 · May 1, 2007, 12:08 PM

Still one of the ugliest cars ever made.

Yes, and on a 3 cylinder car! Now how many cars do you know that have 2 exhaust tips per cylinder?

lol

sek929 · May 1, 2007, 12:16 PM

Wouldn't the loss of back pressure make the 3 banger run like ass?

Instead of lens flare we should digitally add 15 more exhaust tips

mac128k-1984 · May 1, 2007, 12:20 PM

How about the gremlin

G4ME · May 1, 2007, 12:58 PM

just do a youtube search for "smart diablo" and be amazed, don't think its the one in the pics, but still, pretty badass.

Super Sick, but it wasn't really carbage.

(two AMC products in this thread already. weird.)

Dakarʒ · May 1, 2007, 01:16 PM

Doesn't make it any more attractive a car.

Jellytussle · May 1, 2007, 01:47 PM

How about this Volvo. Step forward UK MacNNers who recognise the car park.

CMYKid · May 1, 2007, 02:16 PM

The Crown Vic Police Interceptors have not only a fuel tank that wraps around the rear axle (not really the worst place for it) but they also have some unfortunately placed bolts that tend to pierce the tank in the event of a really intense rear impact. Lots of police departments were up in arms about it for a bit but I havent heard the end result.

I need to go take a photo of the badass Hyundai Sonata that lives up the street from the girlfriend. It has, among other things, been converted into a dually. Worse, it belongs to a girl.

Laminar · May 1, 2007, 02:56 PM

Assuming the side I can't see has 8 tips as well that makes it a 30 exhaust tip car.

Ten per cylinder

All it needs now is some good old fashioned lens flare.

Too many... tail pipes... to lens flare...

olePigeon · May 1, 2007, 03:33 PM

It needs those pipes coming out the sides from the bottom, with flames coming out.

CMYKid · May 1, 2007, 04:08 PM

Theres a pimped out and flaming purple Yugo that I pass around here every few weeks. Chicks dig it I'm sure. Unfortunately the windows are tinted almost opaque so I can't see what badass bitches he's hauling around inside.

on topic, here's the product of a E60/SN95 hybrid that should have been stillborn-

SSharon · May 1, 2007, 10:29 PM

That's just so bad. It would even be bad if there was a stock Mustang front end, with those ground effects and such.

Not to mention it's just a V6 with the stock rims...

Haha, stock rims! It doesn't even have a V8!

Who spends retarded cash modding your car (terribly I might add) and doesn't spring the extra couple of Gs for the friggin GT?

AHHH!!!

Dakarʒ · May 2, 2007, 12:20 PM

Mustang owners have never been very bright.

sek929 · May 2, 2007, 12:25 PM

I'm sure your comment (Dakar) will generate some flak, but anyone who buys a V6 Mustang is the stupidest person alive.

The only Mustang I would consider getting would be the Cobra.

Dakarʒ · May 2, 2007, 12:27 PM

The only Mustang I'd get would be from before 1975.
