Went to the Cars & Coffee show at Mazda Headquarters in Irvine a couple of weeks ago.

This car was parked off to the side in a spectator parking area.
Notice the badge on the fender



And who could miss that trailer hitch?!?
Or the neon tube above the trunk?!?!

Now I can see why some of the other people do what they do to their cars. Totally not in my taste, but this is just stupidity. Its like people who still have mullets. You must know people make fun of it. But yet they still do it.

HELLO EVERYONE!!!

It's been a while since I've been on. Saw these two and figured I'd have to sign back in and post them here.

First is just something some guy is making. Front looks like an old RR except for the grille and the back is the Infiniti FX... I'm sure you can all figure it out.

This next one is from a public car show the other day....

Sadly I didnt have my camera on me but I must share regardless.
Yesterday while leaving the local Super Market, I seen parked at Olive Garden a Dodge Charger (newer style obviously) with NEON GREEN Flames outlined with NEON Orange. I yelled out to my friend "**** I WISH I HAD MY CAMERA!!!" and started to laugh.

Sorry to do this on a Friday.
Unfortunately, I had to see this guy 2 days in a row on the freeway.

The worst thing about this car isn't even the insane amount of stickers, it's the fact that there was zero traffic, and he's driving 60mph in a 65 zone.
I had to slam on the brakes to take pictures. He probably felt proud.

Anyways, there no rhyme or reason to the stickers.
Some of them are manufactures, some are radio stations.
There was some kind of military stuff, and the window is a bunch of psychedelic dead head stickers.
There is also a gauge pod left of the driver, but I can't imagine it's for any kind of FI, since he's going 60 in 65.

His license plate says "DEADSUN".
The 2 brighter pics were taken out of the sunroof on the way home, but the sun is to my left so it reflects pretty hard off the car.
The cloudy pic was taken from inside the car the next morning.
Plus I attached 2 cell phone shots from before I found my camera.

It looks like he's got window stickers only on the driver's side (!?)

Yep. I don't know if he has any other stickers on the passenger side.
As slow as he drives, the only way I could see the passenger side is if I was walking on the freeway.

Maybe he drives slowly because he doesn't want his stickers to peel off with the wind !
