I feel the Dolla Genz is a crucial part of this shot...

reminds me of this

Cars came with this color pattern in Germany. I didn't realize the Golf did, but there was a Polo which is basically a little golf. I think it was called the Harlequin edition.

Dude, that Gran Cherokee doesn't belong here. That thing is a capable and obviously used trail rig, not some poser mobile like 99% of the "nice" off road vehicles you see on the road.

This however...........

The real gem of the Cherokee was the driver and his hillbilly wife/girlfriend/baby mama. Also, seriously, Dolla Genz. And I feel like vehicles without doors don't belong on the road but that's just my opinion.

To get the full effect of this car, you needed to see how the fart cannon swung from it's shoddy installation.

Now I know that this, low displacement, high revving, slick handling forum is probably not the greatest friend of the Firebird but no TransAm ever deserved humiliating like this!!

It's not that uncommon of a mod to either remove the doors or make them removable on a Cherokee. I won't do it to mine.

Agreed, that shouts lack of taste. Most of the other people highlighted here seem to lack money. He obviously had enough to spend on those ridiculous wheels and tires.

The only time I've seen a car like that Trans Am and thought "he really can afford that, and isn't skipping child support payments," is in the parking lot where the TSA screeners park.

That's the only job where you can make enough money to desecrate a car like that and lack the intelligence to see how stupid you look.

I dread to think what those cost. The photos don't show how nicely the Pink sheen in the Bronze metallic paint came out in the sunshine!!
