i just hate to see a car (especially a car with potential) to be ruined.. here are some prime examples..

I "ruined" my car when I put on fashionable parts to replace functional ones (went from basically a light track suspension to cheapie coils) but it's what I wanted to do and I don't regret it one bit, the car still handles better than most on the street and is a lot more fun and attractive.

this post is more about 100% un-neccesary mods, and hey if you like it then fine. do your own thing.. this is more towards the eye-sores of the road. and sorry if your car is in here! =X

haha his cars not in here, it would be funny if it was though

CleanNeon98 · 03-11-2010, 12:18 AM

My car isn't ricey, was just contributing to the thred.

NowThatsG · 03-11-2010, 12:24 AM

which of these cars u posted have potential?

i_ride_fieroGT · 03-11-2010, 12:27 AM

Personaly unless its somthing really out there i wont judge someone by there car. Sompe people think i ruined my fiero others think its georgeous. I have seen some very funny looking cars and even owned a ricer myself back when that crap was cool. But the way i see it is who are you to tell someone else what they can do with there car. Many people have many diffrent tastes and many people have many diffrent styles. Hell if we were all the same we would be driving EVO's and STI's. Peronaly i think what someone does with there car is a reflection of there personality. Ill admit it there are some things that i straight up laugh at seeing it roll down the road but I wont go and shove it in there face that there creation was a waste of time.

Any of them can it all depends on how deep your pockets are. I have seen hatchback civics gutted out and modded to put an LS1 V8 longitutal drive train in it which is dope as hell.

This stuff hurts me to see lol. especially the cars that are otherwise good cars.

nhanxsolo · 03-11-2010, 12:52 AM

Why do you care what others do to their cars?

MPowerKai · 03-11-2010, 01:00 AM

DPancoast · 03-11-2010, 01:42 AM

i don't, i just think its funny how people get an image in their heads and think it will look good, then they do it and ta-da! they either run out of $ halfway through or loose interest (the green and yellow neon)

that one was more directed towards the 300zx.. but it would apply for the mister 2 as well. and for the rest of the guys. this post is for fun. god damn some people take ish too seriously.

Rush · 03-11-2010, 10:40 AM

At least a couple of those look like they were done just as a joke. But seeing 350Z wheels on that first train wreck of a Sunfire .. oh, that hurts.

I care because I'm the one that has to look at the damn things while I'm out driving, and feel my eyes burn out of their sockets in the process, LOL.
