I saw one of these rusting away on a car trip last year. I stopped to talk to the owner and he said (Divorce possessions dispute). I left him at that....

I like some green cars, NGs are nice.
The newer Rustang and Dodge greens are hideous.
That looks like the Chevy Synergy Green.

The Civic green is also pretty bad.

I didn't think so until one of my friends who bought one and wrapped it in blue said it looks like taxi green...

holy crap, I just noticed this thread has over 1 million views since it was created.
I don't know whether to be proud of that or sad as a car enthusiast that there's so many awful cars out there.

It's been years since I've seen anyone riding around with unwiped wax on their car.
Used to see it occasionally back in the day.

Yes, yes it is. He's lucky it hasn't broken and caused any damage or injuries, that's potentially a lawsuit waiting to happen. I've seen acrylic sheet shatter, it isn't pretty and it will only be made worse by the speed they are travelling behind him.
