So my wife and I where driving home and we saw 95 or so Mustang with some 22" rims on it. (it was also a V6 modle). I've seen this car for the past to years. It alway made me laph(sorry for the spelling) with its GTR emblem's. my wife said it was ugly enough her to notice. I'll post a pic when I can.

I saw an older Accord over the weekend with something like 10 "Honda" badges and 7 emblems on it. I think the highlight is that they'd put a "Honda" badge on each door handle.

I also love the GTi at the apartment complex that's had a handle delete. Apparently the owner climbs in through the trunk, opens the door from the back seat, falls out of the door, and climbs back in.

That was you wasn't it Salanis? Honestly if you're feeling charitable, you could offer to help THEM fix it. Don't do it for them, make them do the work but guide them through it. Sort of a teach a man to fix his own damned VW and he'll fix it forever or something....

Huh? I'm confused? What was me? Please disambiguate your pronouns. (No, I'm not being sarcastic.)

Apparently the current or previous owner removed the handles intentionally. Someone removed both door handles, filled the holes with Bondo, and painted them to match the car. Oh, but they skipped the step where they sand the Bondo to smoothly match the surrounding area, so you can clearly see the edges of their work.

I saw a SN95 stang in primer gray with dubs, and a trailer hitch. How gangsta is that!

A guy that lives across from my mom in St. Louis has a vinyl sticker on the back of his car (I think it was made from those 3" letters you buy at walmart) that says "Ballin on a Budget". Surprisingly the 96 or so Thunderbird that he is rolling, is fairly tastefully moded (minor drop, decent looking moderatly sized chrome rims, it's a V-8 with good sounding exhaust.. etc..) That is all..

The only worthwile tacky car in Ithaca is half covered in aluminum foil, with electricle junction boxes and dryer ducting rivited to it to make it look like a space ship with rocket boosters. The owner has done 3. A year ago it was some brown rust bucket, then a second gen eclipse, and now, it's a Miata. These cars are the only reason I like having a camera-phone.

Other than that we have the normal mix of walmart-ghetto-dubs with 14" spinner wheel covers and ricer wana-be's with fart cans and all the wrong Performance stickers(GTR and TYPE-R both on some domestic P.O.S.)

Sorry I meant that it was your car that you had to crawl into.

Apparently the current owner doesn't know about remote door opening systems used for cars with shaved door handles.

I saw a good one a few weeks ago, Older, very rusty Huyndai Accent sporting several shiny new HEMI badges.

Another good one in Ithaca is a gray v6 mustang convertible, with a giant yankees emblem on the hood, and full yankees pinstripes...

Neon, I think i have a pic of the rocket eclipse, I'll have to try and find it tomorrow. These people deserve to see it.
