I don't think most of these were photoshopped. Crappy digital cameras combined with condensation on the lens are more to blame for the edge detail in the pics.

I love those wacky Japanese. They are so strange, fun loving and just plain goofy. If you think the cars look funny you should see what a "Chiba Girl" looked like about 5 years ago. I wish I had the chance to spend more time there.

As those appear to be in Japan we need someone from there to chime in. I would think there is some stupid cartoon these people are in love with, so they are making their cars look like that. I can't imagine someone would do that otherwise.

Damn! What's with the 3 foot long platforms on some of 'em, and the 6 foot long sky-pointing exhaust tips? Ahh, the fickel winds of automotive fashion...

The sad fact is most of these people weren't on drugs when they conceived these things.
