The owner must live in a flood area : ) ? ?
I don't think I would want to be in front of him when he hit his horns [:@]

How could someone be proud of that? Imo it just looks stupid, I don't understand the whole 24's and 26's on cars thing, it just looks horrible. It's unique, I'll give it that and I like unique but it's not in the good unique way.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this way. I like wheels to look somewhat proportional to the car.

All the money spent on making that thing is mind boggling. Everything involved like the lift kit,the wheels and tires, the custom horns ,and the Lambo doors. Plus I'm sure there's gotta be aaudio/video system that would rival an Imax theatre, and I'm guessing there's an airbag suspension also?

I'm thinking maybe he got "Cadillac Truck" from putting a Cadillac chassis onto a truck frame and suspension?

Either way, the money spent on that is mind boggling. Some people do have WAY to much money.

I dont know, I sure hope he didnt see you taking pictures of his car. He might of thought you actually liked it and is now thinking of what else he can do to make it more ridiculous looking. I also hope he never wants to sell that thing because no one in their right mind would buy such a waste of a CAR.

the guy runs a shop that does that kind of stuff to cars.... he keeps his car up front as an example of what can be done in his shop. i didn't see anybody lookign at me and i was in my parents suburban driving and snapping picutes out the window as i drove thru...

i couldn't think of a better vehicle to scare customers away with

"i couldn't think of a better vehicle to scare customers away with"

Lol. I thought the same thing right before I got to this line in your reply. I could see someunfortunate guy bring his nice car into the shop. He wants someone to do some custom work on it. He comes back and his previously nice car now looks like that POS. That would be the only case in my opinion in which a shooting spree would be understandable.
I guess some people just have a different view of what looks good.
