Almost didn't see it! And I though this kinda thing was only supposed to happen to Camaros.

Saw this for sale on the side of the road while on a family road trip. Anyone want to venture a guess on which state I was in?

Kentucky? Tennessee? Gotta be a southern state, don't get me wrong, I love our 'good-ol boys', but enough with the camo! Is there a gun rack in it too, and maybe a spot light? Roach in the ashtray? Reek of beer? Not that I would know anything about that.....needs big mud tires to complete the look! Throw in a dixie horn, oh yeah!

Hi,
Shouldn't the glass be camouflaged too with just a little clear slit to look out?
Regards,
Alan

I'll guess somewhere below the Mason-Dixon line but it does expand the options when doing a "wrap".

Sure is a funny looking C3 to be in the C3 forum. Perhaps this isn't the C3 forum any longer. Moderator, oh moderator???

I can't find the car in the picture. Is it camouflaged or something?

I don't need a camo vehicle to sneak up on the deer...I've hit 3 deer in my 23 years of driving, and I'm sure there will be more First one hit me in the side, 2nd one just busted up the grill, (wasn't going that fast,) last one happened last November, hit her hard (about 65 mph=dead) on drivers side of my little Celica. Have been told many times how lucky I was she didn't come through windshield. Positive side is: got new paint job, bumper, hood and headlights out of it!! And no, not camo! It's purple and black!

You get far enough from the city, and it doesn't make a difference if you above/below the Mason-Dixon.

And no it's not a C3, but it made me laugh and I would rather share it with the C3 guys. The C3 guys answer my stupid questions.

If it helps it shared a motor with an '82...
