Default No account for taste. Neighbors car.

I’ve been watching this visual disaster take shape over the last few months. I was working on tiling my bathroom so I set up the saw between the houses. I had to take some pics for you guys. I tried to be discrete but he caught me.

I told him “Looks great! Mind if I take a couple shots?”

When in doubt, accessorize!

I kept noticing he kept looking at my crotch. The. I remembered I was wearing my work jeans and I blew the crotch out earlier that day.

It was a nice looking mini. Then all that vinyl and plastic chrome. He even has two different colors of red. Their yard and house is equally “decorated”. Do dads everywhere.

I wouldn't judge any type of car by one example, but we had one of those on the used lot I worked at. The transmission failed driving it back from the auction, took weeks to get the parts. Then after that it seemed like every time someone went on a test drive another warning light came on and back it went to the shop for hundreds of dollars worth of work.

By then every one knew there was no profit (and therefore no good commission) left in it and salesmen were walking people away from it rather than towards it. They had to put a bonus on it and when it finally sold the boss bought pizza for everybody in the sales and service departments to celebrate.

Why the color on one spoke of each wheel? It looks like it has been booted

That must be how they do "grand sport" in Europe, instead of hash marks on the left fender.

We have a customer at work with a Juke. He fancies it a race car and somewhere there are videos of him on the track. It's white. Two air dams on front, three spoilers on back. It has three tail pipes. Well, two are real. The third is just tacked on. Last time it was in it had two black wheels on one side and two yellow on the other.
It's still a Juke. Automatic, at that.

That trend's been around a while.

Don't know who/how it originated, but some custom wheel manufacturers are known for this design cue...

Davin is one:

First time I've noticed it.
