Silly

I know everyone has their own style and opinions, but it seems like Ive seen some really silly ideas of what to do next on their p-car. I don't want to pinpoint them, maybe this should go into off topic. Nevermind.

You're not a fan of my street-legal Fiero-based 917 replica idea, are you?

are you talking about cars that have odd cosmetic additions?

giant bling brakes?

lack body seals so grit and dust comes inside?

unfused wires under the dash?

sugar scoops?

Silly such as chilled cup-holders attached to a rollcage of a cafe-strip show p-car? Each to their own...

I guess its hard for some to distinguish between individualism and eye-sores, and things get silly. At least they have a go?

Some folks, when they have a creative thought, should stop thinking.

I see your 2.2 (coffee table) and raise you 1 Ferrari V12 (coffee table).....LOL
I created one for a close friend yrs ago (gutted and painted red with the 3" plastic top supported by the horns of the gutted Webers ).
The table made such a stir in his circle of friends that everyone wanted something similar, and unfortunately I could not find any other blocks or semi-complete engines to fill the need.
Each to their own Bling.....LOL
