My Stomach Hurts Looking at This Car

3000gt vr4

I know the guy who owned this two-owners ago, it was a nice car that only needed paint due to some clearcoat problems. It was up for sale about 4 months ago and he almost bought it back, then let it slip. Now this.

Look closely at the photos and you'll see a couple of gems. He added some gauge from auto-zone with the chrome half-circle-surround up near the a-pillar but didn't hide any wires, giant tach on the dash, missing hood blisters, etc etc.

I mean, I get the whole "it's your car, do what you want" but you've got to show some respect for cars like this. $4500 is about right for a good-condition 1st-gen VR4, not something like this.

"My name Kyle..." :rolleyes:

Is it a requirement that you can't speak English if you're going to use craigslist? The green interior is hilarious.

Man, I guess. I mean, a little punctuation would go a long way toward lending credibility to something like this. Based on the ad alone, even with no photos, I wouldn't have called this kid on this car.

'Craiglist...'

Yikes, that 5" monster tach looks horribly out of place & those green, spray-bombed accents throughout the interior are absolutely hideous!!

With any luck, someone who appreciates the car for what it is ends up with it & fixes all of the blasphemies this dude did to it.

I really did barf in my mouth a little when I saw the rims. The interior is just as bad but for some reason the wheels bother me more.

Just awful

Just noticed the tach is zip-tied to the dash.

changing the color of the interior is easy after you remove the parts, sem makes a paint that is great for this. as for the wheels ?? yikes

I thought that was just snowmobiles - making them in colors that don't appear in nature...making the attending apparel in the same shades, so that snowmobiling is the only activity for which wearing those colors is appropriate.

"colors that don't appear in nature" is the point. i HATE colors that appear commonly in nature.

I've seen them butchered much much worse. But I don't think I've ever seen color coordination that bad, lol.

I dont like the painted interior trim when it's not a terrible color, but that just makes me puke. What the hell is wrong with people?

Yo I herd you like tachometers so I put a tachometer on your tachometer so you can...

...yeah I got nothin'.

Idiot #1: "That thing got Noss?"

Distasteful Owner (aka Idiot #2): "No, but I did color-match my interior to match the rims...okay, so I only did enough of it to make it look like Gumby drove the car, had motion sickness, and randomly began puking green throughout it."

Idiot #1: "It looks good, bro. You should remove the hood strut blisters while you're at it...Shit will look hot!"

This is just a disgrace.. WTF seriously!!!! WTF
