It is so bad that AlienJohn with the Snorklestang as his profile picture says kill it. If this car isn't an abortion i don't know what is.

"1970 Volkswagon Bug fully Customized"
Just my personal opinion, you shouldn't be allowed to ask for that kind of money if you can't even spell VOLKSWAGEN!

It is such an awesome car that it has not been roadworthy since April 2013 when the tags expired. I'm just sayin'...

Yuck, that car looks too busy (to say the least). It missed it's mark by going way over the top. If that front end looked "normal", lost some of the pointless add-ons, and insane price, it could have been a nice buggy.  |

Did he drill a hole in the license plate to mount his backup camera???

| If he has a back up camera, that would be hilarious. It's not like he is driving a long bodied suburban. I guess I'm still taking back by those god-awful front fender lights. |

That's a "CLASSIC and legendary supercar!"
| Quote: |
A supercar (also known as exotic car) is a very expensive and fast sports car.[1][2] Supercars are marketed by automakers as unusual and include limited production specials from an "elite" automaker, standard-looking cars modified for power and performance, as well as models that appeal to enthusiasts from smaller manufacturers.[3]
"Supercar" is also a label custom car retrofitters reserve for their showcase, one-of-a-kind project vehicles; typically these are very extensively modified collectible muscle cars, sports cars or grand touring automobiles updated to the very latest "streetable" racing technology.[4][5] |
For $20,000 one would think they could have sourced a proper air-cleaner, proper crank case ventilation, and not have a hole in the fan shroud pumping out cooling air.

"Rare 1978 Triple white Super Beetle convertible"
Rare? I kinda thought that every Super Beetle imported in 1978 was a triple white convertible...

|
|
Can I whine about how ridiculous carburetor prices have gotten lately? I am getting advice that I need to change out my carb because the ethanol gas seems to be killing them. Second one in a couple of years already.
They tell me not to buy the Chinese ones even though they are the cheapest ones at about $185. The Brosol (if they even have them) are coming in at about $295. A Bocar comes in at $375. Why are these things climbing so fast in price?!! Ouch! |

Forget buying new, you can get much higher quality for cheaper, and it's just like new.
