I was thinking they used white board markers on the 3 but then I say the green hood
remove the vinyls and it'd be a clean car

I can't tell you how happy I am that we've had almost ten years of this thread with about 1,734 instances of the phrase "to each their own."

Me too. Means you're still free to make choices. Just doesn't mean you're free from the consequences...like having your car end up in this thread.

^^ honestly I almost don't hate the rest of the car. The color is awful, and so is the sagging replica lip, and badges, but it's the first time I've seen the rear doors painted where it actually flows well (due to the black roofline). I'd never do it, but that scheme has some potential to look nice with a lot more attention to detail

That bumper car is epic.

I had a similar car. I don't even remember what it was other then that it was an "old dude" car. Power everything. Body damage from some accident. Anyway a friend in town for a couple weeks working bought this heap instead of doing a rental car. He is showing me the power seats and no kidding he folds us backwards so its like our knees are blocking the front view and he goes off the road trying to get the seats level again.

Ok, so he drives us to the airport after working like 48 hours straight and he gets out of the car and I sit waiting. He comes back and tells me "I've had enough I'm going back to florida and hands me the keys. Then he adds "Don't wait for me. I'm not coming back." So I ask him what am I supposed to do with the car? He tells me to drive it off a cliff if I like because he doesn't care so....

On purpose my friend does the worlds worst spraycan flame job. On the trunk the Batman logo and in huge grafitti letters on both sides over the "Flamejob
he writes DEATHMOBILE. And we put speakers in the grill and drive this pile of junk around to annoy people. Well that gets old so I leave it in my friends driveway until his dad corners me and askes me when I'm going to take the Deathmobile home. I tell him he can have it and he gets really excited. He puts an ad in the local paper and tells me he sold it to some guy whose wife was moaning and groaning that she needed her own car. God what I would give to have seen her face...

Two years ago me and my friends all bought winter beaters (under the condition that they were under $500). So after some searching two of us settled on Topaz/Tempos. I bought mine for $200.00, I didn't need to change anything but the battery and the thing started everytime. I only had to get rid of it because I broke the rear beam (or should I say it rusted through). But you should've seen my crew driving around - very ghetto to say the least and to further our ghetto status, every red light was an opportunity to rear end each other or bash into the sides of one another - real life bumper cars.

Here's a pic of my Topaz - took 8 hours to paint the flames and 2 hours to paint on 20 inch rims (some are 21 and 22'')

The guy that left me with the car went back to Florida got on this 33 ft sailboat he made (no kidding... From scratch) and sailed to live on the sea or rather around islands like Bimini etc. Gosh for... At least 10 years. Then his girlfriend told him they were "married." He said "ok" and they had a kid which was ok for a while but raising a baby on a sail boat... Anyway he bought (To his disgust) a house and called me to tell me that things like the motor on the fridge was driving him crazy and he hated living on land like me. I think his boat is pretty much the equivilant of our RX8s. You love them and gripe about the variety of things you need to do to keep them "afloat."

Speaking of which... So. It doesn't turn over... Battery is new. No blinking red light (Imobilizer) SIGH... I may soon be forced to drive a TRUCK.... *Similar to having to live in a house when your used to the open sea.
