Gotta love the owner of the 240 with stretched tires, mellow offset, and not lowered.

I don't know if I should be impressed or sad.

Either way, that's dedication to a concept.

I think it's actually cool and unique. Some of the designs I can spot aren't my top choice, but it's all his own work which really adds to it. It doesn't look poorly done either.

I would have to question the value of it compared to the amount of work, if the listed time is correct... But I guess that could add to the coolness for dedication. I wouldn't call it bad.

It's more of an art piece, like sculpture rather than a modified car.
The car is just a piece of material he used, like canvas.
Pretty cool.
