"5.0"

inferno · 04-18-2001, 11:46 AM

Yesterday at work I saw this early fox pull in...it had chrome fender flares, door trim lining, daytons sticking out about 3", chrome curb feelers, and a chrome exhaust tip that stuck out at least 4" past the bumper. I saw were the guy parked and I walked over to see this abomination up close when I saw it......a crooked 5.0 badge!!! It was too far forward and like I said before, the car only had one exhaust tip. Later he drove by my Supra and revved and I heard the sound of glasspacks on a 4 banger stang. From now on, I am taking my digital camara with me so that I can show all of these marvelous pieces of automotive genius I come across.

I don't know how many times I wish I had my camera with me for stuff like that. I saw the worst looking 94-95 V6 mustang the other. It would make the top 5 best all time on riceboypage.com.

Yesterday, I saw a black 3000GT with Ferrari badges. On the center of the Trunk lid there was a Ferrari emblem, you know, the yellow one with the horse standing on its back legs. The side front quarter panels had the same emblem, and running along the door there was a sticker that said, in cursive writing, "Ferrari." Some old asian guy was driving it, and I was thinking maybe he just moved here, and some American guy sold him a $250000 3000GT!!! HAHA. But Im sure it was not a Ferrari.

I am a security guard at a mall. I work out in the parking lot so I always see some "interesting" vehicles. I saw a Wrangler with odd racing stripes today but I didn't get to my car in time to take a picture of it before the person left....the rest of the night, the cam was in my pocket but I didn't see anything else.

Token Right Guy · 04-19-2001, 02:39 AM

I used to have a Shelby GT500 emblem on the trunklid of my Toyota Celica (I didn't steal the emblem, it came off of a totalled GT500-I live near a tow yard)...anyway, it wasn't completely out-of-place, as I did have a small-block Ford engine & Toploader in it. Sure, to be accurate I'd need a GT350 badge, but it was free (the emblem, not the car).
Ah well, car and emblem are both lone gone anyway...

Those Stangs are as hillarious as the "riced out Hondas". Some refer to those "JC Whitney" Mustangs as "ghetto Stangs". Just as funny as "low riders" with hydraulics. Anything done in poor taste is still just a POS, no matter what it was to begin with. I'm with you on this one inferno.

There's a Stang around here that kind of confuses me. First, I have Borla sidepipes on my 96 and I think they're pretty cool. There's really no inbetween on sidepipes - people either hate 'em or love 'em. Regardless, mine are REAL. There is a 94 or 95 white with black top convertible V6 Stang in town that I saw the other day that has fake sidpipe covers. I don't guess I understand the point. The holes aren't even cut for tips to exit and the stock single pipe still exits the back. I've seen these advertised from ABC Exclusive in the mags and it just seems kind of strange to me. To each his own I guess.

Now that's just sickening. (don't know whether to laugh, cry or become irate)

Hehe...what you speak of is an everyday occurance were im at. I have got to get a digital camera.

They turned these vehicles into something that would not be easy to give away we are talking about 12 inch rims and rubber band tires loads of chrome stripping and every bolt on body panel ever made. and to top it all of they have to let everyone know who there dumb *** is related to buy putting there last name in huge letters on the back window.
