Hilarious. Parents probably thought... "let's buy him a car the kids will think is cool."

First steps:
- repaint the car
- pull the roll cage (or at least paint it black)
- put a stock steering wheel back on

You can live with the rest for a little while.

if his car mysteriously gets keyed, he can claim insurance on it to get it repainted :rick: no more ugly ass paint job. but he'll either have to key the top half all the way around and get a yellow paint job.. or key the bottom half and get black...

Unfortunately, this is what it looks like:


My friend is not at all the ricer type. He looks like a church boy. And the worst part is that his new job is in San Diego. Can someone say "fixit tickets"? Anyways, he's frantically looking for a cheap stock intake and exhaust now h:

Why not just have them resell it? No way in hell I'd drive that ugly POS.

Actually... I'd be worried if the previous owner did that to the OUT/INSIDE of the car, what did he do to the ENGINE?!?
