Okay, two questions: What gives with all the oil coolers on the front bumper? And how can those huge low, front spoilers be legal with all the new "pedestrian safety" laws?

Regardless, funny stuff. BTW, found this with something of an explanation...

What can be said. Someone must have told the owner "that really looks good". Only a true friend will tell you the truth, imho.

Do you mean Barbies safari vehicle ? Yes, they are in the same league as those in this thread. What amazes me even more is people actually purchased them. It's like the Nissan Cube...why would anyone purchase such a vehicle? Wait, don't answer that..the truth might scare me.

Look more closely at the pink one ....

Actually, I rather like the white van mods, they are more sculptural than the cars. This is my favourite:

I think the Cube is 'speckled puppy' cute, ...like the original VW Beetle. I can't think of a kind way to describe my impression of the appearance of the Aztec or it's 'daughter', the Lexus SC 430. <g>

These "vehicles" remind me of L A 'low riders.' Customs of this type migrated to Japan from CA.

There is a rule about modding cars:
Unless you actually make the car better, dont modify it..
