Default Beauty in the eye of the beholder… just for fun :)

Its true, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and one mans trash is another mans treasure sooo thinking of these sayings today here are some real "treasures" to enjoy and feel free to add to them if ya got any good ones…



This has gotta be my favorite!!! is that Oprah??? I can't stand that woman!!!! what sick twisted mind thought this was a good idea????





So I took my C3 to this custom car shop and told them "Money is no object I just want you to make my Vette look like a cartoon" 2 words MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!!!













if a 6 year old owned a corvette and proof that a dragon theme can totally work on a C6 corvette with just a little creativity and some hot glue





5mph crash bumpers??? ha! those are for pu$$ie$ if you can't grade a dirt road and plow snow with your bumper it ain't *****!






So I had this weird dream last night about sewer pipes and BAM!!!! came up with a great idea for a new wing!







HEY Billy John Bob take a picture of me as I pass you. I'm gonna send it to that stupid dealer that tried to charge me 20 grand for a corvette and tell him to SHOVE IT!!! I made my own Corvette for $127.33 at the junkyard, some paper mache and can of left over gray fence paint… stupid stupid dealer yeeeee hawww!!!





say what you want right now but you'll be eatin those words when you see it after my exhaust stacks come in!







Behold!!!! Thee ElCorvetto!




To whom it may concern,
If any of these cars belong to any CF members or their friends/family (and your willing to admit it) I'm truly sorry (for your hilarious taste in customizing) if I offended anyone by posting pics (teasing you) of your Beautiful well thought out and executed custom cars () I was honestly just playing around (but god do you need help) Keep doing what you do and PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE post pictures on the internet of your other amazing inventions (assuming that those inventions haven't accidentally killed you)
Sincerely yours, Pirate

Actually that is tastefully done. I assume it has a 'salvage' title.

I agree guys, The C4 I called El Corvetto does look like its actually done really nice. Especially seeing how they stretched rear end and had the cojones to paint it black which we all know would showcase any flaws in the body work.
Thats why I really didn't have a smart a$$ comment picking on it. I couldn't bring myself to do it but thats just me. Its still some fine looking work and If someone wanted it done I don't think it could be done any nicer thats for sure.

I think it's silly but that just my unsolicited .02 style and work wise they did as good a job as one could do turning a C4 vette into a truck. I would definitely go check it out at a car show though and probably take a few pictures of it.

It's not nearly as ridiculous as this...

I'd have this one . . .it'd almost be interesting to buy a cheap C4 and try to replicate it . .Does anyone know if there's a kit? Assume you'd start with an a$$-ended coupe . . .the original article in Jolopnik reported that it cost $130k to build.

I don't like it that much.

The ElCorvetto is great. I'd like to see a camper fit to it. Can you imagine pulling into a campground?

That's not bad and at least it is a useful change. The rest are certainly different.
