Uh, Wow. LOL. The genuine imitation non-functional JC Whitney "custom" hood scoops, the faux hoodpin decals ( :facepalm: ) and the Pep Boys adhesive mounted triple "simulated" (pronounced "fake") Buick style ventiports are particularly nice ricey touches. But what I find even more amusing is that this is a Delaware craigslist ad, with Maryland in it's ad title, and the car is sporting a Pennsylvania license plate.

only has 157,000 and is very economic. Throughout the past four years it has been a project car of mine to which I've devoted a lot of time, work and money. A month ago, I installed a new transmission (90,000 miles)
So in one month he drove 67,000 miles...

Ugh...

That car gives me diarrhea. Gotta love the "turbo" emblem, and the fact that he's proud of the "NOS seat covers."

I've seen far, far, FAR worse examples than that.

Hell, the bone-stock Pontiac G6 GXP I park across from every day is a more embarassing example of poser rice. ENORMOUS SCULPTED plastic wing that would make '60s Chrysler blush, crazy-glued in an act of seemingly schizophrenic compensation on top of the narrowest, least-athletic set of pontiac hips ever manufactured (I still can't figure out how the G6's cleanly-pinched-turd-shaped rear end came from the same company that made "Wide Track" an advertising point for decades). And the stubby, FWD-proportioned hood is dominated by horrid nonfunctional hoodscoops. Meanwhile the grille's openings are big enough to swallow a Continental and the fog lights could pass for OEM replacement Jeep CJ headlights. All of this backed by front-wheel-drive and an automatic transmission, plus a mindboggling 222hp.

Also there's the black Ridgeline I see at the grocery store all the time, which features such impressive goodies as dual stick-on hood scoops (interestingly, they appear to be the same ones seen on that 240sx), dual four-cylinder fart-cans with exhaust tips that would make diesel pickups jealous, Buick-style hood ports, gawdawful multifaceted chrome wheels, and off-road tires. I'd like to think I'm a pretty bad-a** grown man, but when I walk past that thing it's hard not to start weeping with despair.

GL painting that turd.

Primer absorbs oil, grease, and road grime. About 3 months after the paint job, that paint is gonna strip off in chunks.

Why would you tack extra PLASTIC bumpers on the car? It's like a bad episode of Hoarders...

Those clearly WISH they were Ferrari taillights. I knew what he was going for there, but I'm hard pressed to believe that they're actually Ferrari tails.
