You know what, i'd actually like to see this grille(+ badge placement) on the facelifted convertible PT Cruiser, since it's got less of the badly shaped rear, but that's about it.Again, I'm not bloody surprised, when comes to you.
I found a new PT Cr- Sorry. I mean...THIS...is the PT Bruiser.

That actually looks alright imo, get rid of the badge on the grille and it would look a whole lot better than a standard PT Cruiser.I found a new PT Cr- Sorry. I mean...THIS...is the PT Bruiser.

1977 Cadillac Eldorado 8 Wheeler
Despite the Texas license plates on it, this eight-wheeled epitome of exuberant excess was neither created nor currently resides in the Everything Is Bigger state. Rather, this much-modified 1977 Cadillac Eldorado hails from Down Under, where it was auctioned off in February 2014.
According to the Shannon’s auction description for the Cadillac, chassis number 6L47S7Q306322, a Brisbane-based American car enthusiast exported the bone-stock 180hp 425-cu.in. V-8-powered coupe from Texas to Australia in the 1980s and immediately began to convert it into an eight-wheeler using Holden One Tonner ute tandem axles, at the same time leaving the Cadillac front-wheel driven (with all four front wheels steering) and left-hand drive. The stretched body panels to cover the stretched chassis were reportedly done in sheetmetal rather than fiberglass.
In 1999, the Cadillac then went to a Melbourne-based owner who apparently felt that an eight-wheeled Seventies Cadillac required even more to stand out from the crowd. In the lengthened section between the back glass and the full-size trunk lid he added a two-person hot tub, while under the lengthened hood in the empty space between radiator and engine he added a propane grill (“We put a grill behind your grille so you can grill while you chill”) that cantilevers out for barbies at the car show. An in-dash television, CCTV camera mounted in the right front fender, whiskey bar in the trunk, strobe lighting, train horns, and six exhaust pipes round out the modifications.
Another reason the car still wears its Texas plates is because the modifications rendered it unlicenseable in Australia.
The so-called “spa car” recently appeared for sale privately in Australia for $80,000 AUS (about $71,500 in U.S. dollars), but auctioned for just $39,000.

Nope, that's not questionable to me, that is so excessively fun it's almost rolling art.

Was on my way to finding tasteful cars and while we have a recent post, might aswell throw this in here.
The image quality though is crappy, but hopefully not a 'shop. Goodness.

I'd almost rather have the Fiero than a real Bricklin. At least I could change it back probably.
