I'm starting this to post some of the "project-cars" I see on a daily basis in my neighborhood. Some are nice, some are funny, some are outrageously fugly, some are rice, and some are RICE! Feel free to post any funny vehicles in your area and comments.

This wil be updated w/ more vehicles when time permits, but for now:

____________
Vehicle #1

The Soccer Ball

Now I'm a soccer player/pro skater wanna-be at heart and when I saw this VW parked on the side of the road my first instinct was to stop and take a closer look. As I got out, the urge to kick it grew.....so I did. It did not budge like I had imagined but I did succesfully confirm the vehicle's alarm system works just fine. Instinctively I ran, but not before taking some pictures:









I must say, they DID choose the right vehicle to do such a paint job.

_____________
Vehicle #2


...coming soon

A few blocks from me is the local suburban ghetto ass ricer hangout. I always see a maroon colored Celica there with lambo doors, a GK tib, a 99 Eclipse, some Mustang, and a few other cars. And when I say ghetto ass ricer... I mean it. They have the bandanas around their heads, pants sagging, talk like their black, etc. WE LIVE IN THE MIDDLE OF SUBURBIA! THE CLOSEST CITY IS AN HOUR AWAY!
