    I was just reminded of the stupidest car accessory that I have ever seen.

    Years ago NASCAR had a car that had this huge spoiler on the rear trunk, I want to say it was a Roadrunner, the car was raced with this HUGE thing on it and I just laughed when i saw it again recently. The car itself was long and boxy looking-the spoiler made it look really dumb.

    I remember seeing people on the street with the same setup and laughing....

    I'll try to find a picture of it....


    The 1970 Plymouth Superbird.

    I was wrong, Plymouth, the sister company to Dodge, was the one that produced the car.

    Yeah, the nose and spoilers on those cars looked like hell...

    But they set speed and qualifying records all over NASCAR.

    Rule one of engineering..........

    If it's stupid and it works?

    It ain't stupid.

    On the track it worked wonders, But I always wondered about the practical application for street driving....

    If a car can get a reaction from the people who don't like it, what does it say for the people who DID buy one!

    The next thing I hate the most about cars is the spelling/or made up names-

    Impreza? Catera? When I see a name like that I always think of the cop that has to write it on a ticket.

    MY CAR!

    a 93' red honda civic:

    It's not all one color, but has a black hood as a replacement.

    You're the one sure thing I've found so you better stick around...

    That works should you ever decide to hit and run....

    Does anyone remember the VW Beetles that were all different colors? I remember seeing a few in the mid 1990s, each part was a different color, mostly primary colors. I liked them but most of you would probably hate them.

    I do, however, like that Metropolitan! Is that a Nash?

    That's got the same general look of the Chevrolet BelAir!

    I had never heard of a Holden until today. I like old.

    I love the Smart Cars - they are SOOO cute! And, apparently, quite durable.



    Ok, these suckers are just odd. They're so small! I mean, my Versa is small, and not at all cute either, lol, but I'd be afraid to drive in one of these.

    I was in DC about 2 months ago, and they have them there too, the Smart Cars that is, and you can rent them by the hour, and drop them off at different sites. That's a neat concept.

    I beg to differ, most of it's attraction to me is the look. I also love the ones with the plastic bits on them!

    Although my mother and I both agree that the PT Loser is just about the fugliest car ever made.
    Don't like the PT Cruiser, but the Element isn't too bad. My friend has one, it's that rusty red color, and she has nicknamed it "The Brick", lol.

    OMG... they are hideous, aren't they???


    Although, they remind me of an overgrown version of a Honda CRX, which I happen to still love, lol.

    I must have a thing for small, round and odd looking cars. I loved Gremlins, Pacers, CRXs... owned a VW Golf and a GTI. Now a Nissan Versa. LOL! They are all weird looking little round/fat cars!
