oh yeah, that has been mocked relentlessly in the past. Who could forget those eagle talon indicator lights?

Even Alfred E Newman would give this one an ecch.

Further proof that there is no god.

At least not a benevolent one.

If I had a life threatening emergency and needed a car, and a friend wanted to loan me that one, I would decline.

Well, they did make the back end as ridulously ugly as the front end.

You've got to assume they started with an absolute beater of a car to justify all these "improvements".

The scary part is that there are 10 bids already. That means that other people share this guy's complete lack of taste. Wow.

No, but it is almost impossible to prevent.

And it's even harder to spot now that eBay hides the user IDs of bidders--you can't tell if the same group of people ALWAYS bid on a certain seller's items.

Don't paint it yellow! Leave it that color, as all you need to do is put a bike rack on the rear and hang this little beauty on it. (thanks to the random transportation thread).
