Whats with the exhaust, you cant tell me they drive those things.
YUCK!

If you press BACK at the buttom you get to the overview of galleries. In those I found a Lexus rebuilt to Mercedes, a Toyota Estate rebuilt to Porsche 996 and a Suzuki Wagon R rebuilt to Dodge Ram Pick Up. Amazing.....

[Oh Haha]

That's just dumb.
What are these guys, on dope?

What's wrong with being on dope?

Seriously, though, this link was up here a couple of weeks ago and it got me wondering. What the hell is going on with those cars? It looks like the exaggerated fins, tails, spoilers, and tailpipes get crazier every year when you look at the guy's album. I wonder what the next couple of years holds for these guys? They can't get much weirder.

It was a reference to Fast Times at RH. I have had that movie in head the past few weeks. Guess I was looking for an opportunity. No offense intended to any of my Porsche pals that partake, for medical reasons.
I don't but I can't afford another "hobby" except for the 911.

If you've never seen "Art Truck" you gotta see this. Astounding:

Our Canadian friends dont have to buy it, they can grow thier own.
Looks like thier selling it to the japanese, must be some good $#!+.

[kenikh]

Don't laugh; my buddy, a U.S. ex-pat (if you can call it that) working in Vancouver B.C. says most of his neighbors have grow houses. Some supplement their income up to $50K Canadian per year.

Truly amazing! I especially like the cars where they've add a "front Porch" or diving platform or whatever it is.
There's no accounting for taste.
All this from the land that brought you years of Godzilla.

Dope is not strong enough for that. I don't care where it came from. The autos look so fukking stupid.

Sure, just need to define the function.

If it is to attract attention and bring people to talk about it, it is a winner. That is the fourth time I have seen that car on PP alone.

If the fuction is to rip the trunk off the car at 35 mph, I think it would function well in doing so.

Now if you are looking for downforce though, not bloody likely.

did anyone else check out the 911 half way down here:

pretty sweet.

wonder how he did the bumper cut outs.

[Bobboloo]

Love it. It must be a blast building one. Leland was way ahead of his time..

[geof33]

Seen a bunch of these before... My favorite feature of most is the externally mounted front oil coolers...

Why is that Vapors song in my head now?
