You guys have gotta see this Gemballa!

This one eclipses the Vanilla Ice mobile. Check out the safe and wine chiller in the rear seat bottom area!

Engine looks terrible. You'd think they would have done something to it after spending all that on the interior.

Guess Clive Gemballa has always been an oil money whore. Kind of like the plastic surgeon who f#$@ed up Michael Jackson. Just because you can do it, why? What's up with the taste of some most of his clients from a certain part of the world? A Safe???? LOL!

The exterior is OK, but I would definitely gut the interior and replace with something more tasteful. What is up with the rack stereo system? They obviously spent some money (at some point) on the car... it looks like there is a trim piece missing around the stereo rack...

I reckon someone found a load of Gemballa bits in a dumpster and stuck them on an SC Targa in an afternoon.

You should see the amount of cash some of these oil guys carry around, it's nuts. A safe is a really common option on cars aimed at that demographic!

Owned by a royalty my ass. Stupid royalty maybe. That's a converted SC. Some part time body shop worker living in a trailor park built that to cruise chicks at the nightclubs.

240 mph speedo? I'm guessing a few of those LED's will never see an electron.

The interior is stupid busy... electronic overload!

Sadly... this is by far not the worst I have seen with the word Gemballa on it.

You see this same sort of thing everywhere in the world around us - interior decorating, fashion, advertising, custom Harleys...everyone has access to the same basic ingredients, a very few have the eye to combine them for outstanding results, the smart folks know when they're out of their element and just leave it alone, but most make it marginally worse by trying.

Most of the time it's harmless - but every once in a while, such as with thong underware or the Pontiac Aztec, its taken to an extreme and you end up hurting innocent, trusting people
