Questionable modifications: pictures inside!

Car Memes on FaceBook had this same picture, with the caption "MEANWHILE AT DAYCARE IN ALABAMA."

I love how big "offroad" 4x4 trucks are cleaner than most cars on the road.

 

[Slash]

When my truck was lifted and nice I kept it clean to make it look nicer. It did see a lot of mud though.

Every time I jump back on the Focus forums I remember why I quit going there, who puts a Cherry Bomb on a brand new car?

Oh and then I found this:

And the guy put these wheels on it that looked like this, yes that's a really poorly welded up aluminum wheel the owner expects to "rally" race with.

I get having a rally toy to screw around with, but this guy daily's this thing.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

Those poor Focuses. I wouldn't put my wagon through that torture.

 

[Slash]

Oh god that weld is NOT going to hold.

 

[Dan]

I know Katiegan has a Ford Mondeo, but I think she would have a heart attack after seeing those pictures.

 

[motortrend]

That guy HAS to be joking. That wheel looks unbalanceable apart from clearly being extremely unsafe

 

[Aquarelle]

Nobody can be that bad at welding, even on the first time... right..?

It has to be a joke and he took it in for scrap right after.. at least that's what I'm choosing to believe.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

I'm bing searching ricer. XD

 

[Joey D]

Searching through some other posts of his on the forums it looks like he ground the weld flush, but if he rallies the car like he says he does then I think he's going to have a bad time. I mean I have quite a bit of redneck engineering on my RallyX car but nothing that would jeopardize the safety of me.

He's also claiming to be building a new rally car out of brand new Focus. I really hope he executes that one better.

Who the hell uses Bing?

I could give this guy welding lessons, I wonder if he even used the right wire to well that spoke together again...

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

Who the hell uses Bing?

Me!

I use both google and bing. Google for searching and Bing for images.

 

[Slash]

Who the hell uses Bing?

My thoughts exactly

 

[playnthru]

I'm fairly certain that wheel wouldn't pass any tech inspection anywhere. If he Rallies it he must swap them out.

Who uses a brand new car for Rallying..?

 

[VspecZR1GT2RS89]

I can't find any adjectives to describe this bad wielding and this Focus. But this guy need to learn how to wield. That's unsafe and dangerous for rallying or the road.

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

Nah. That's not necessarily going to get anyone hurt, it's just going to further damage the rim, thereby probably causing a crash which, though it likely won't be fatal, will total the Focus.


A waste of a decent rally car, really. There are a few Focuses that rally up here, and not one of them has a crap repair-job.

Who uses a brand new car for Rallying..?

Antoine L'Estage, WRC drivers, Fiesta rally drivers...

Allow me to rephrase - Who uses a brand new car for casual events.

Rich people and people with sponsors can afford new cars that will likely come back with more than a couple scratches, that's a given; but unless Hoonigan has become the name of a company lately that went mad with sponsorship deals I don't think this bloke has much money behind him.

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

Fair point, but the 90s cars are just as fast, sometimes, too.


I've seen a GC8 Impreza running at almost the rally-winning pace in local rallies.


But, that said, he's in for trouble when the rim gives, and becomes unbalanced, and pulls the car into a tree... Because, you know, it's his daily driver.

Here's a Yaris I seen today, it's not as bad as what some people post on here but the whole car was full of chrome, full of it. Chrome galore.

 

[AudiMan2011]

It's not bad compared to cars with chrome wrapped bodywork.

 

[Sage Ages]

He must be such a baller.

 

[Slash]

It's not bad compared to cars with chrome wrapped bodywork.

Yup.

 

[YouButNotYou]

Yeah, it's not that bad compared to others. There's also another car on my Flickr, it's a C35 but some douche has decided to stick AMG badges on it. Not fooling me.

 

[Sage Ages]

Let me preface this by saying that this is an actual thing.

Anyone with a Ford Fiesta will be able to buy this vinyl from Ford/3M. If you don't believe me...

 

[Aquarelle]

I can't even begin to put into words how I feel about this...​

Well since chrome is more popular in the US .... I like it
