I've seen this Celica before on another forum and the best thing about it besides the fact that it's still FWD (and an automatic) is that the nitrous isn't even hooked up.

What's that stupid sunglasses and fedora-wearing badly-mustachioed 'thing' in the trunk supposed to be? I've seen it somewhere before, but I can't place it.

It reminds me of Eric Cartman, with sunglasses and a stick on mustache when he says "respect my authority."

India is a vast untapped goldmine of terrible car stuff. That's a Ford Ikon.   This is something called a "Gypcy", which came from this high class establishment.

Got these two within a few minutes of each other on the drive home yesterday. First, I've seen this a few times. Pretty low on the terrible scale, but great example of why blacking your goddamn tails is a bad idea - that's as bright as they get:  Then, partially a terrible cameraphone failure since it completely blew out the bumper, but you can barely trace one of the lines of zip ties fixing crash damage that probably didn't even actually occur while drifting:  Plus some wonky camber side-to-side (the camera / windshield relationship is skewing it a bit but it was definitely not even), some mad tyte stretch, and not pictured is the exhaust that's so stupidly rich that it was making me nauseous.

Hell the uninstalled kits were expensive as hell. Oh definitely, the $27k figure was the base price. They had additional stuff you could tack on like a front BBK (leaving the factory drums in place  ) and a in-dash Alpine stereo/DVD unit that easily pushed the price tag over $30k. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge Focus fan but spending that kind of money on a (mostly) stock '05 whose only redeeming factor was a disconnected nitrous system when you'd be in brand-new STi/Evo territory for a few thousand more was utterly retarded.

The headlights just look like derpy eyes with that bumper. And with those arches you really need to put spacers on the wheels. I should go write down the VIN so I can see what's wrong with it.

Personally I think it would be better if it was an imprint into the hood instead of a skull trying to escape the engine compartment.

I put a tranny in a Jetta this weekend and had to do the test drive today with the terrible coilover suspension and "illest" sticker on the back, ugh. I hope I don't end up in this thread

Considering "illest" is a clothing company, I wonder if all these kids actually wear their clothing as well as using their stickers.

This thing must really be great offroad, like how a razor that has 5 blades is awesome because there are 5 of a thing. Also why does it have a minitruck style sideways license plate spot with no snappy personalized plate like "4XBETTR".

I'm pretty sure it's awesome offroad because the tailgate is well cooled by those louvres.

 How would you even get into this thing? There aren't even any running boards with which to hoist yourself up / perch on after climbing the wheel. Unless that thing sticking out of the back is a step of some sort?and is that a shriveled looking little pair of truck nutz I see hanging out back there

It's not that tall. Reach up to grab the steering wheel with one hand (or the oh poo poo bar if passenger), roll cage with the other hand, foot on one tire and shove yourself up.

This drove past me the other day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yg-uHk0cWY I wonder how much they got off the price for the shame of doing a sales pitch in front of their new pink Juke.

I'm willing to bet that illest, No Fear, Fox Racing and the Lowrider logo are all on page one of every vinyl sticker shop's clipart book, right above the generic tribal dragon, Confederate flag and Calvin peeing on (insert manufacturer logo here). Meanwhile, in Morocco:   I have no idea how you even do something like this, unless Photoshop has an "Export to real life" option now.
