Saw this on a local for sale site. It is very clean, but the poor car. What would you register this as?

Wow, wish I could pimp my ride like that but I have a life. Maybe he's selling it to get his life back.

Why wouldn't this person just go out and buy the real thing? I am sure he spent enough, modding that car, to have just saved up and actually had one!

No kidding!
But "to each his own" i guess. Goodluck trying to sell it.

Maybe to prove it could be done? :dunno:

A hobby? People buy old cars and do them up all the time, doing it with new cars has the potential to be shown off, rather than old cars which rarely leave the garage.

That is a really cool rear view mirror, though, not gonna lie. but sony xplod is probably the worst name in car audio.

So, one of our local guys actually took it for a test drive. Here is the story he got:
"So i guess this kid bought the car from a dealer 2 years ago for 15k. now is trying to sell it for 5k firm. It was in horrid shape and everything except the system was done like worse than maaco. Everything was painted like all plastic peices widhshield wipers, etc. here are some pics of just *SOME* of the damage it had.
It didn't have insurance so I only got to take it for a spin around the parking lot, :( but the rims are new with only 100 miles."

That is a pretty hefty loss in 2 years. And to treat it that badly is just plain stupid. :sly:

Ya, I was betting that it was thrashed. Most of the time people who do that type of stuff do it themselves or as cheap as possible and it shows. To bad!

The sad thing is I am sure this person hasn't learned their lesson yet. Probably go out and get another crazy one just to trash.

Man, you guys should have seen the "Turbo" Hyundai Elantra I saw last weekend when I was car shopping. My dad and I were out on the bikes shopping for a new car for me, and I think the 2 of us nearly peed ourselves... this brings "delusional" to a whole new playing field, though!
