Das Blotto

What is it with people thinking their VWs look even remotely like BMWs?  PS: Nice hubcaps.

How not to modify your new Camaro...

Thought I would combine these two Camaro atrocities in one post.  Above is what happens when you take a car that's already retro too far into the past.  It ends up kind of looking like Burt Reynolds - the face looks kinda the same as it did 45 years ago, but every looks a sleek and just plain not right.

Below is evidence that the "Donk" look is alive and well, now brutalizing new cars and not just 25 year old Chevrolet Impalas and Buick Regals.  It still baffles me how people think this looks good.  Most likely cramming as many inches as they can into the wheel wells to make up for the inches that are lacking in certain parts of the anatomy.

Tiburong

An eye-searingly fluorescent Hyundai Tiburon that thinks it's a Ford Escort rally car.

Not Holden Back

My only guess is that this poor Holden Ute is possibly a prop from a modern-era Mad Max film.  Guessing by the rims and the abundant chrome, it was possibly driven by a pimp.

Hot Rod Tracker

What do you get when you combine a Geo Tracker with a hot rod?  Something you shouldn't have combined.

Aston Martin V12 Zagato

I don't think the Aston Martin V12 Zagato is fugly, or even ugly.  But it does look a bit chubby for an Aston - less sleek and more bulbous.  I suppose it's kind of attractive the way a plus size model is, when compared to non-plus size models.

But the most unsettling thing about the design is how similar it looks to a Nissan GTR in the side view.  Sure, the rearmost angle of the side windows goes the opposite direction, but the air intake and blacked out "helmet visor" appearance of the A-pillar bear more than a passing resemblance.
