    There's also a pick-up running around with a real jet engine in the bed. Neither of them would I want to go 300 on the Salt in (poor aerodynamics). The pick-up, however, reminds me of Buckaroo Bonzai. No need to worry about hitting something if you have an Oscillation Overthruster - just slip into the 8th dimension!

    I'm feeling a little bad for this guy. I wonder how much money he put into uglifying his Prius?

    Yeah except now he wants someone else to own it. :p


    Seroiusly though, that guy is going to have to be really lucky and find a buyer who just happens to think it looks cool or else accept a considerably reduced price for all his tinkering.

    GET RID OF "SPOILER" (apt name), DROP THE "TAIL HOOK", (no carrier landings necessary) and toss the cheap plastic "Wind Deflectors"....other than that, it's a OK Prius....​


    OMG,....NO interior photos, if it looks like that on the outside, what did he stuff inside?????​

    I prefer wind deflectors WITHOUT the chrome strip, and wish they were available for a fair price.

    Bidding is over and to everyone's surprise there were absolutely no bids, go figure! Maybe his wife was saying "you have to get rid of it", he doesn't really want to so he puts it up for a ridiculous price.......
    This guy makes me think of my SIL's grand dad, retired way too long and has no connection with the world of today where people are working like crazy and no idea of true value of items/service. "Well when I was working", "in my day". Oh Grandpa..

    I'm gradually getting more used to his mods.

    (Altogether, they're not that much uglier than the previous generation stock Subaru WRX.)

    Also, his garage is very tidy.

    A tidy garage is the sign of a sick mind (unless your garage is neat, Boo - you're allowed to have a neat garage).

    I finally noticed the windows aren't even tinted. All that "stuff" and the windows aren't even tinted! Amazing.

    But I do like the wheels. Not on a red car, but they would look great on my silver Prius.

    I just threw up in my mouth! Totally tasteless! I noticed that there are handicapped plates on the car and I wonder if it's that of a mental condition. EEW!

    Oh well.. I gave this weirdo some free advertising.

    It closed with no bids. Haha. I can't say I'm surprised.

    I like this car. I don't think the owner was taking himself too seriously. More of a parody. As a parody, it has good taste.

    Reminds me of the old Anti-Rice video.

    When I used to race domestics we would make fun of "riced" out import cars.

    Reminds me of a girl I knew at University. She had a Talbot Horizon (bought on the way to the scrapyard for £50) - one of these for the uninitiated.

    [​IMG]

    She thought it would go better if she put a "TURBO" sticker across the back window (like the Ford Escort XR3i's had at the time - except hers was a carb fed 1.1L engine) and bought some red go faster strips. Only problem was she forgot her car was red...
