Guy also owns a Pagani and a bunch of other supercars

You mean humble if you look past the fact that he posts YouTube videos to show them off, right?

Frankly, I don't have anything against the fact that he owns them or even posts videos--nor do I feel he needs to be absolved by way of philanthropy for either--I just don't see how one ["Hellgato"] has anything to do with the other ["He also owns a Pagani and..."].

Who cares if he's showing off? He obviously likes his car. Everyone with a car they really like does this whether they are poor or rich, whether its a super car or grocery getter. Such an odd point to bring up if you didn't care in the first place.
 
didn't care
I said it didn't bother me, not that I didn't care, and not being bothered by an individual bragging doesn't preclude me from disagreeing when someone else claims said individual is humble. Nor does doing so imply a belief on my part that being humble is necessary, particularly when I'm not; I'm a blowhard (as evidenced by this and numerous other posts)--and after several fingers of bourbon, a pompous one.

Anyway...

Oddly enough, doesn't looks all that bad. lowered, classic rims and white wall tires, made into a pickup.

That would suck if someone dinged that bumper :lol:

Yeah, it's my big objection to the Malibu wagons and El Caminos of the period. The bumper isn't a modification, mind you, they actually started life that way, but rather the "stance" (in quotes due to the fact that the term has come to mean something else when, as @SVX so aptly stated elsewhere, it's something that all vehicles have) is my reason for posting.
 
I don't think I've ever seen a modified Nissan Figaro.

I figure it's a price thing.

In the UK at least, you rarely see them for less than about £5k because they're fashionable in certain parts of certain cities. But really, that's about £4k more than they're really worth, so the sort of people who normally pick up cheap cars for peanuts and make them interesting (MX-5s, for example) don't tackle these.

I'd love to see someone do a really nice job on one of these. This is probably the best I've seen, but the rear spoiler is far too much and I'm sure other tweaks could be made too.

YES.
Been following this one on the Retro Rides forum for a while. Unusual, but interesting.

Aside from the whale tail, I'd like to see the arch extensions go (I'm not sure they're even necessary with the rolling stock used) and it'd be just right. The chrome "bodykit" wouldn't work on most anything else, but I think it does on this.

The chrome is completely standard on those (i.e the chrome in the picture is how the car left the factory), aside from the mirrors, which are aftermarket but suit it quite well. I quite like the arch extensions - those and the wheels are just enough to give it a little more aggression over stock.
