How about (don't know if this has been mentioned) the fake chrome hubcaps that used to be flaunted by every Daewoo Lanos and Hyundai Excel in the neighbourhood

There's also a whole cottage industry that churns out full, turn-key stainless steel or fibreglass jeep replicas (not the public transport jeepneys, but smaller, private vehicles). Like these: ![]() ![]() ![]() I'd say they make up 20-25% of vehicles on the roads. That said, the youtube video is shocking. I feel so embarassed for them. Installing a cone filter and a spinning thingy in the intake, then slapping a "Turbo" sticker on there is just delusional. What makes it worse is the slick video they made to show off their mediocrity.

I should have taken a photo but the owners were standing there and it would've seemed pretty sus bahaha :P
But another car to Ballarat's finest was this early 2000's Camry, silver in body color, crappy hand drawn purple flame vinyl on the bonnet and front quarter panels, weird 15" Chrome wheels at stock height with a cannon muffler on the back. When I saw it I let out a large "BAHAHA" and I think they might have heard me :P |

HAHAHAHA, MrsLow I think you are incredibly correct!
Mmmm, and also, it's actually in "IMMACULTE" condition, as per her (?) spelling :P The ONLY thing I actually LIKE on that travesty is the grill, no more waterfall Forte grill, Yaaaaaay! But otherwise, my face remains as per my above picture. |
