RoyTordesLegend Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 I'm into cars - anyone have any examples of any cars where the owner has got a little too carried away with sticking silly stuff to the bodywork to make it look faster?? I have a group of neighbours who think that by sticking huge spoilers and large exhaust systems on their 1.0 litre cars, that they're catapulted into the land of cool....... But whats funnier a 1.4 Astra worth 300 quid with 3000 quid worth of stuff bolted onto it (really badly!!!), or my ickle low mileage 50 quid Jetta which the 'cool' squad seem to find so funny!!??

Darth Groovy Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 Well one time I was into mini trucks. I had a 89' Chevy S-10. It was a manual transmission with only a 4 cylindar engine, but it had an awsome paint job, two tone black and gold. I lowered the suspension, tinted the windows, put smoked GTO headlight covers on, a leather bra, and even painted the grill black to match all that. I put a fancy Rockford Fosgate system in it, (which was top of the line at the time), and the silliest thing I did was put an extention on the exaust pipe to make it look faster. People would waant to race me, I had to laugh! My next step was to make it a convertable, but then I had a nasty accident in 1996, which totalled the vehicle. This pic is all that remains. Keep in mind that this pic was taken prior to all the work I did on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyTordesLegend Posted September 11, 2003 Author Share Posted September 11, 2003 Ahhh but was was it in bad taste Groovy? It sounds as though it was okay to me.... ....the guys in my street are quite amusing. They'll pay just as much money doing a bad half cocked job themselves as they would getting a pro to do a good job..... ....I guess I wouldn't be narked so much if they didn't laugh at my Jetta.....hey its a mint '83 with only 50'000 miles for only 50 quid...bargain.... .....I'm getting a 2.0 litre Beemer sometime this month anyway, need the space for my growing family!!

Darth Groovy Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 The only thing I did that was in really bad taste, (although at the time I thought it was cool), was to put letters under the tint to spell out the word "MAYHEM" which was my nick name at the time. That, and I had an 8-ball on my stick, an 8-ball sticker on my sterring wheel, one on my grill, and one of those 8-ball fortune teller things up in my dash. And I had alot of sheep skin apolstery too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyTordesLegend Posted September 11, 2003 Author Share Posted September 11, 2003 ...Apart from the sheepskin (what were you thinking of man!! ) that doesn't sound too bad.....I think window stickers are okay as long as they're original..... ....people round my way put cheap stereos into their cars and pretend they've got expensive ones by sticking 'Kenwood', 'Alpine' etc in their back windows......thing is the thieves know not to bother looking in the cars with the stickers as they know they've probably got a Goodmans in there!!!
