Done by hand... with a paint brush, spray can and apparently a case of beer. There was NO exhaust and sounded like a Chinook helicopter.

it must have been made by first year art college dropped out students. lol I've seen a few cars like this--not limousines--around my area. there is even a parade of art cars once a year here... needless to say, they all look like low budget ridiculous creations.

Not on the disaster scale of the above cars, but this definitely qualifies for "How not to sell your car"

Tape is temp while I get it bolted down after this rain stops. They're actually my turn signals/bumper lights. I'm going to bolt them down after I get the fogs I have working

Not too bad, but I got SMOKED in traffic by this mustang "GT". It also had black fast and furious type stripes down the sides of the car...

So the only thing they did to the cars engine was put an SRI on it with that pos "turbine" thing that nobody should ever buy?

The car without any of the stickers and just having a solid color all around(no red hood) probably would not look half bad.

I'm way too tired... I burst out laughing when they started talking about the tachometer.

Every car needs a "taco meter"... that sounds like one of the best ideas ever.

The only thing that they put on the car that they claimed would make that "high performance racing machine" "fast".. and only thing that could "handle it" are the... wheels?!?!
Wow. I think that came across (to me) as a challenge... let me just go grab my bicycle and it's game on!
