I guess I respect all of the body work that went into it, but that design concept was not completely baked. You could have gone with that theme on so many other platforms and had it work. Also, how do you put ALL THAT into a custom and then leave the interior almost completely stock?!?!? I'm so confused.

I guess it all boils down to the 'visions' you have, or is it 'hallucinations'?

Default ugly aint the word

This has to be a joke or some caveman creation. There is just no way on earth the person or persons responsible for this should be allowed to hold a wrench alone a paint gun or anything. I say we find the people responsible, get a mental health eval done and ship them to a remote deseted lost cant be found, no internet service island. I was about to eat breakfast now I am pissed. I remeber back when that guy shot his tv for Palins DAUGHTER IN DANCING WITH THE STARS. Perhaps I should just pray this is a bad dream and I am not fully awake yet. Oh well wheres my tylenol.

Oh, not just one. They SELL these things. It's a "798" classic. If you miss this one, you can take YOURS there and have it converted or just have them custom build you one just like it.

I'm going to hurl.
