Some places in the US, you can lease bling bling wheels.

They have a Rent-A-Tire down here in Texas. They rent to own tires, wheels, body kits, and some suspension stuff. Pretty sad.

I agree with Nightrage, I don't see anything wrong with the 5 liter Mustangs. I had an 89 GT and it was one of my favorite cars(maybe the n20 swayed my opinion ). I'll take a Shelby GT 500 or a Boss anyday.

The Honda Element and the Scion xB are two of the ugliest vehicles ever made.

Pinto.
Geo Metro.
Ford Festiva.
Ford Focus.

I second that. They should at least have a 2 week slug gun season on xBs. Just what on earth are the dopes thinking who have a desire to drive one of those? I guess that even if some engineer designed a car shaped like a big turd, made it slow & stinky, and painted it brown, someone would buy it, get a cheap pair of glasses and drive around in it like a proud puppy.

LOL, as I read your post, I could not resist the image of the Oscar Myer Weiner-Mobile. I see that thing it seems at least once a year going down the highway.

Why is everybody against trucks? Here's a pic of mine.



To get back on topic, here is my nomination.



Automotive magazines said that they looked like "dustbusters".

I don't think anyone is against Chevy trucks. It's just that people do a lot of stupid things to their trucks. By the way - Nice looking ride.

I hope you're not talking about the van.

Not quite....

I-Drive on BMW's..............a complex solution to something that should be simple. But the styling is the pits on the newer models too and they are too expensive forme anyway.

Back in the 70's, the worse thing was the interlocking seat belts

Cross-fire Injection.

'84 Corvette owners will know what I'm talking about.

I like trucks.

I'm guessing you've owned an '82 Vette, Norm.

I just used the '84 as an example because they are, as you well know, the worst year Corvette ever.

My Father saves all his automotive magazines in boxes so he can go back and look at them for kicks. I'll see if I can dig up a few quotes about the '84 Corvette from some of the writers. For years, they absolutely roasted it. The cross-fire injection was the main complaint.
