Cake Wrecks

More updates are on their way, but I thought I'd take a slight break in the automotive disasters to post baking disasters. Enjoy!

Little Chop Top of Horrors

I don't know about you, but I think this might not be a factory job.

Bucatti

You almost had me fooled, again. Although it possibly looks better than the Galibier.

Holy Wrecked Porsches, Batman!

Between the chopped steering wheel adorned with a tin foil bat, and rear fender extensions seemingly made of Styrofoam, this is truely a work of art.

Paging John Wilkes Booth

Well - where to start with this one. This car is one of many that are appearing that seem to be an auto customization case of hoarding. Like the Nissan, BMW, and Dodge Ram before it, it's had so many chrome doo-dads stuck on it it's hard to tell what colour the paint is.



I also find it strange that although these people take the time to amass such large collections of shiny things, you think they would take the time to properly center them before affixing them permanently to the car.




This particular car was for sale on eBay - although I'm not sure if it sold, or who in their right mind would bid on it.

R

In the ricer world, the Type-R badge is sacred territory. Those who own actual Type-R vehicles achieve a God-like status. This guy must be master of their universe.

Damn You, Micheal Bay: The Sequal

I guess it was only a matter of time before someone tried to capitalize on Chevrolet capitalizing on the "Transformer" movie series. This C6 based kit manages to keep all that was hideous about the concept and destroy it's sleek lines and proportions.

Damn You, Micheal Bay

There's some intriguing and sleek features of 2009 Chevrolet Stingray concept, but for the most part it's a heavy-handed and overstyled attempt to cash in on the Corvette's rich design history while at the same time cash in on Micheal Bay's equally heavy-handed and overstyled "Transformer" movie series. It ends up being a caricature of the entire Corvette brand.

Sbarro X5

Sbarro has been featured on this blog way more times than a design house should. I saved this picture a couple years back, so I'm not sure on the details on this other than it's a BMW X5 with a butchered front end.

Spada Codatronca

The Spada Codatronca is a concept and possible production car based on the Corvette, apparently available with a 700hp Corvette based engine. I'm not sure how much of a pipe dream the production car is - I've seen "specs" and a finished production body, but nothing concrete.

It's looks are definitely unique. For the most part, it's a throwback to the swoopy lines of the C3 Corvette. However, out back things go astray with it's "shooting brake" style featured many times on this blog. Not content to leave well enough alone, it also draws inspiration from another classic piece of autofug, the Phantom Corsair.


Also not sure what's with the digital readout on the back. Looks like it could be a speedometer? Given the reliability of some high-horsepower, low production sports cars, maybe it's to measure it's speed while you push it?
