Now that is almost funny. Surely looks like some photoshop involved there. After looking at it a few times, I think the feelers are real. I like the Mailbox hoodscoop.

Well someone appears to be proud enough of it to sit in it to have the picture taken.
I think I see a head and hand on the wheel.
The hood seems to end quite short of the windshield.

Alan

Hey, times are tough. The poor guy must be living in it and needs a place to have the newspaper delivered so he can look for a job in the want ads.

I saw an ad last week for a set of 20" rims that read: "

$1,200.00 firm. 1 rim has been bent, but it can be fixed. Some curb rash on one other".



A true testament to stupidity....
