HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Too funny. I don't know which is more lame... stuffing the heater channel with cotton balls or the axle bearings running dry from too much negative camber.
Rat Rods & Hood Rides = the mullet of the new age. In a few years, they'll all look back and go, "Oh my God, what was I thinking?"

Hey mark, must be one of those kits kids are buying! Ya you take a 20,000 car and make it worth 5,000 Yep, your numbers are rather generous, Danny. Hell, I was thinkin' more along the lines of worthless, But hey... if someone is willing to pay $5k for someone else's abortion, then so be it. There's one born every minute, yes?
HOLY COW! I just stumbled across the thread that those pics came from. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! The guy that owns this um... "car" is whining and saying that everyone that insulted him isn't gonna a part of his "club" and some other funny stuff. Too funny. God, I love the 'Net. Where people say things they never would in person. Oh yeah... he posted that it's his choice if he wants to die in his "car" and his "club" is for people that think outside of the box. Wow.
Check out what the rest of the um... "car" looks like.
The trophy, bumper (rear overriders), and hood bling just kill me. The aux. red light is trick, too. The best part... the lowered bumper. Yes, you read correctly. Look at the bumper. Taking it to an all time LOW. I can't stop laughing.

In the end, the owner found out that his ignition timing was way off and now the car goes faster than 50mph. Which frightens me, in a car that low. But... to each their own.

My old Karmann Ghia was fairly low but nowhere near that - even so I still caught the beam a couple of times on stuff in the road like cats eyes... That is just stupid IMO, and the biggest problem I have is that the car probably wasn't in too bad condition before these idiots got their hands on it.

Sheesh. I love when people modify their cars so much that they end up being non-functional. Hey, maybe that's a new name for rides in that catagory... dysfunctional cars. So they can but the FUN in dysfunctional.

saddest part of all, this car was once in perfect condition on a dealer lot or showroom floor.
there should be a rescue program for these fucking piles of shit. Like abused dog rescue, but for these poor cars.

Wait... I just thought of something; if someone's gonna go through all of that trouble to have so many illegal violations on one car, then WHY bother with the front license plate? D'OH!
