WOW - you actually saw the same car on two different occasions. Once should be all that is required!

The shot with the top off must have been taken before the one with the top on. There is more crap on the car in the shot with the top on. None of which improves the image.

If you went to the Ocean City Corvette show over this past weekend, there is more than enough to make you want stab yourself in the face, rather than have to look at some of the abortions at that show

Then again, those owners probably think my turd, is just that, a turd

I think the Vettes with all the FLAMES and all the painted or ss engine stuff are even more ugly then these ones..I HATE FLAMES AND ALL THE ECKLERS ADD ON GARBAGE...there is an owner here in Palm Coast Fl that must have gone throught a Vette catalog and bought everything that you could add on..car looks like a mess. My opinion ..

It's the owners car to do with as the owner pleases.
I support owners adding widgets, decals, neon lights and chrome googaws making their cars look like something from "Speed Racer".
It makes mine (and maybe yours) look that much better...

Certainly, all are ugly but I think the pink one is a Honda S2000. Who is the cheezball driving the first one? Lenny or Squiggy?

LOL it's got a shower cap on for the rearview.

I don't get WHY someone would spend all that money to make their car look so terrible. I don't know of ANYONE who could think that looks good. 6 exhaust pipes? 6 lights? Spinners?
