I like the camo more then the car. But I would leave such paint schemes to trucks and the like...

I think the guys are right. That's not any proto-type concept car camo. Car companies tend to block out parts of windows and use bra's to disguise things like the grill and headlights so you can't see the true shape. And they tend to have licence plates that have "manufacturer" stamped/printed right on the plate.

That BMW looks like a simple vinyl camo wrap to me.

i dont think anyone mods or customizes their cars to "fit in"...if that were the case we would be commies and everyone would have the same car same wage same house etc...
i love being able to express my own individuality and i love to see others do it too.

I agree everyone shapes there car to there on liking but that's a shame to do that to a BMR. I guess some peoples taste is in only mouth.

i have never heard that phrase before, ... taste in mouth.
after i thought about it i was like...oh yea, he can only taste with his mouth. lol
i wouldnt do it to my car thats for sure, but it could work in a movie, in a snowy region with guns and rocket launchers mounted on top haha...kinda like an antarctic mad max

That's not done for style. That's strictly functional. It ain't pretty, but it works when he needs to move stuff. Cheaper than a U-Haul rental.

not only was it illegal, but unsafe! i couldnt believe it. yea it may get the job done, but not when you are putting the safety of other motorists at risk. he didnt even have lights hooked up so you wouldnt know if he had to make a quick break or stop. i dont know about you, but i would hate to have to rear end my beautiful monte into a heap of retard like that.

I've seen crazier than that u-haul. I've rode with my dad for several summers. I've seen a laptop mounted to a motorcycle, I've seen airplanes stuck in trees, I've seen fifth wheels come off trucks, I've seen axles slide out from underneath trailers.... but that Buick was piled a little high. He almost needs to worry about bridge heights. And by the way, is one tire that much bigger than the other?
