and for the fun of it

 

WTF^^^^ nice tap job....



Not to hate, IMO, that is only one step above a trailer queen...



Not your car persay, but taped cars....

 

Certainly not a "show" car and has no chance of winning ... but she is my daily driver. I wanted "Elle", (2011 Elantra GLS), to be subtle. She is ... as she averages 40mpg!!















Warm Regards

Very clean!!



And for the record, unfortunatly, the genesis will be a trailer queen soon. But I built it that way so I can't complain :-)

 

what's a trailer queen?

 

A vehicle that doesnt get driven very much and is strictly for show and gets trailered everywhere. Hence the term, trailer queen. ")

 

There are many people in this world, I built my car, Yet i build a car to enjoy it, some find the term "enjoying" by loading your car onto a trailer, unloading it, and letting people look at it, then you take it home, put it in your garage till the next show. I build cars to be shown off, but on the Road as i drive, I can DD my cars, if choosen, but my Tib, is a drag car by trait, and a fun streetable car, that many people her can contest to.



Yet, it simply comes down to how you like to "Enjoy" the thousand of dollars you put into a car to make it what you want. \



IMO you should drive what you build, nothing worse than seeing some car being towed, and showed after 10's of thousands of dollars of work.....
