Questionable modifications: pictures inside!

[Ibonibo]

I love the spray painted black bonnet as opposed to a real carbon one... Now thats proper chav!

It's not spray painted that would be too professional.
It was painted with one of this

, now that's style

At least he's on a track with it instead of being a bone head on the street. That must count for something.

True, but he may does both ?

 

[Joey D]

Well ya he probably does both but at least he has enough sense to track the thing instead of doing 100% of his messing about on the roads.

I don't think anyone with a modified car is a complete saint on the road.

I like the semi-disgusted look on your (assuming you are the driver of the Mini) face in this pic. You're all like "What the 🤬 is that?"

Heh, yeah. I'd passed the WTF stage in the pit lane, and was well into "Have you no idea what those blue flags mean?" stage. Speaking to a few other drivers afterwards and I wasn't the only one who had trouble passing him.

At least he's on a track with it instead of being a bone head on the street. That must count for something.

That had crossed my mind, but he had kinda annoyed me for 3 laps, so It's certainly possible he hadn't noticed the blue flags - it was a novice only session, after all - but I've got to feel superior to him somehow. That is the purpose of this thread, after all.

I was searching youtube for some Corvette videos and I found this:


And check out some of their other videos



why does "tuners" like these exist?

 

[Jim Prower]

Because people equally as stupid will give them money to do these things, that's why. If people stopped buying from them, they'd either change what they did or go out of business.

Couple trucks.

And of course, le Grande Finale:

 

[NISM0_SKYLINE]

I'd totally rock that if the wheels were stock and the tires were a little more meaty.

 

[Tornado]

I kinda sorta have a perverse liking of the first one.

 

[buickgnx88]

It's okay, special people are humans too.

 

[Jim Prower]

A lot of those...The Super Duties in particular....could be built a lot better, though I do like the fact that the guy with the white truck is running Knight Stalkers.

The last GMC, though...Um...Yeah. I can't wait for some guy to dare him to take it in a mud pit....and all that structure just folds under it...\

EDIT: Just noticed: the GMC is a TWO WHEEL DRIVE. Seriously. Who megatrucks a 2WD?

 

[Muzaffar]

Might be a re-post, but I still sure do get a laugh each time I watch this...

 

[NISM0_SKYLINE]

Atleast he tried to race it? I still think those cars are pretty much pointless.

Staying on with the trucks, here's one I saw at the Depot last week.

 

[Joey D]

I like how the stock truck is flithy and lifted truck is squeaky clean

Yeah, especially since those so called "lift blocks" in the rear are attached to the stock leaf springs.

 

[Jim Prower]

Guy's a poser. With a setup like that, he has to be.

On the other hand...

This guy is not. ((in fact, on 66" tires, he'd have something like the Hot Stuff and High Voltage jeeps in the '80s.))

^*epic eyeroll*

 

[motortrend]

That looks like it is very tiring. That's not questionable, that's just completely stupid

 

[Jim Prower]

"Hey, ma! I'm doing down the road on a set of monkey bars! lol!"

How can he seriously think he looks cool?

 

[motortrend]

 

[Delphic Reason]

It's not just stupid, it's incredibly dangerous. You cannot accurately control a motorcycle with bars like that.

What car is that, motortrend?

Did it used to be a Del Sol (CRX)?

 

[Rykon Zero]

I'm thinking MR2.

 

[motortrend]

Yes, it used to be an MK3 MR2. You can tell by the tail lights. Poor thing

Ahhh, I see it now.

Why do they almost always have to paint the worst cars, in the most eye catching colors?

 

[buickgnx88]

You just answered your own question!

 

[Delphic Reason]

You just answered your own question!

It wasn't a question... It was a statement in question form.

 

[motortrend]

Bad replica is bad

 

[buickgnx88]

It wasn't a question... It was a statement in question form.

Alright, you answered your stated question which I guess was a rhetorical question and was rather a statement but then I question your statement and...oh I've gone cross eyed again!

Today I learned that Slantnoses are called pelicans, as I found this Pork while looking for a picture of a pretty pelican.

 

[Jim Prower]

Why did the original owner refuse to re-paint it after the late '80s-early '90s?
