That is single-handedly the most horrible camaro I've ever seen. That's even worse than the Juan Valdez convertable.

There needs to be a law against people like that. That, or a law that says we can kill people like that.

Hey Guys,
I know this guy has really bad taste, but there could be some ideas we can implement into our cars. The way the hood flips out is pretty trick...and God knows what other kind of mods he has made to the interior and engine...but I bet you some of them are really innovative. Not to defend this guy cause what he did to this car is shameful, but there could be some nice ideas out there?

Hey, thats the way they like to style THEIR car. They probably look at our cars and say the same stuff. They might not to beat us in a straight race, but they can get the car to jump higher that ours. But, I do agree when you guys say its the ugliest mother-f***ing car I have every seen.

It is the uglitst thing ever. but some of the inovations could be a good idea for our cars. However, as much as we don't like it, in the mexican-american community it is a jewel. Personally i cant stand the ****ing thing.

I don't understand what you guys are complaining about, anybody can bolt on mods that were ordered from a catalog and made specifically for your car. Whoever did the work on that car had a lot of talent and ingenuity. Custom work like that is more of an art, its not made to drag race, its made to look trick. That's as valid of a hobby as wasting your money on something as impractical as getting your car to run 12's at the expense of 8 mpg. Anyone else agree?

I guess i can agree with you there, it just seems like some people's opinions on what looks good are different than mine. Personally i like the basically stock look of the third-gens. Maybe a fancier interior is nice, but as far as exterior, not much change. From what i can tell, most of the people on this site seem to feel the same way. I do give the guy some credit for originality.
