I think you guys will get a laugh out of these pimped out rides!
RE: I think you guys will get a laugh out of these pimped out rides!
I think it looks more like a 60's era chevy impala. As for the rims, they would look okay on a truck or SUV, but looks like %^&* on a car. Personally, I prefer the wheels look proportional to the car. Also...not too crazy about the just-crashed-into-a-building-flat front end. That front end would look better on a car that's more squared off. Not the sweeping lines of the original car.
Just my two cents. But like others have mentioned. It's not my car. If the owner likes it, I'm happy for him.

I have always enjoyed this one. I might be wrong, but I thought there was also a news video of this floating around the net showing the engine still running.

I would say the whole thing is a prank. The pic appears to be a school parking lot. I'd guess a highschool. The blue and yellow uprights and wing across the top appear to be cardboard, reducing the weight considerably. As for not falling over, simple fishing line and scotch tape.
If you notice the wheels have tin foil taped to them with blue painters tape. Theblue molding surrounding the car is also blue painter's tape. There's yellow electrical tape accenting the door. And the tail light covers are actually white electrical tape. All available at your local hardware store.
This was obviously meant to beshock value forwhen thecar's owner returned to his/her car, and not meant to be driven like that.
I know a bunch of guys that wrapped a co-worker's car in industrial shrink wrap on his last day of workbefore leaving for a new job.Took him10 minutes to get it unwrapped.

There was a car not far from that I saw on the way to work today... omg... I so wish I could have gotten a pic, but unfortunately there was just not enough time to get my phone out of it's holster and into camera mode....
some kind of late 70's large coupe... thinking ford or something... I can't remember....
Blue... with HUGE like... 24" rims or something.. way lifted off the ground... had to ride like a lumber wagon.
I saw it around Monticello, maybe Trick Racin' knows the car?
