definetly different ! i give it originality, but still not so sure i like it totally.

dont know if anyone mentioned it above because i didnt read every post, but wonder why he didn't atleast shave the gas tank door ??? i mean it is useless and for someone to make that project and put that much work into it, you would think he would have shaved it

anyone else notice that ?

but something like that seems like you would HAVE to paint it because you would be cutting the tail section off another car, probably with a torch, so the paint would be all messed up from teh heat and the cut, wouldnt you think you would have to paint it ? and probable to match the car anyways, if it was a junk car it probably wasn't in that good of condition with that nice of paint on it ?? maybe i am missing something but it just seems silly to me.


also are those round things speakers ? if they are wouldnt they get covered in road debris if he was taking it on trips ?

I don't think a 3rd gen should tow anything

Hey you need somewhere to put your slicks on the way to the track

Besides its not the worst thats ever been done, I was on I-75 once and I saw a beautiful brand new Corvette.....TOWING A BOAT!!!!


I mean come on you just laid down $40k+ for the vette, is it that hard to scrape together another $1500 and buy an F-ing truck?????

Belive me, I know that....About 5 years ago, when one of my friends turned 16 (rich little bastard), daddy marched right into the chevy dealer bought his son a brand spanking new Z06. On the way out of the dealership parking lot , that kid stomped on the go-pedal and got that new vette sideways in front of a semi. Took the ***-end completely off of that car.

So daddy goes back into the dealer, realizes that he made a mistake in putting a kid in a vette, and bought him a "safer car"....a new SS camaro. He put that one into a tree at 70 about a week later.

i got a fried, who is also rich, and when he got his license daddy went out and bought him a 2000 taurus, i know not hte best of cars, but it was a free car. This kid has in mind that unless it is a mustang that it is a pos. daddy finally gives in and goes out and gets him a 2k1 6cyl stang, now he has a taurus which he beat teh crap outta, and a 2k1 stang, now after about 9 speeding tickets, which daddy gets fixed right away, and i belive 6 of them were over 100mph and like 3 of them over 120, he convinces daddy that the car is to slow and that he needs a gt, so daddy goes out and gets him a gt, he just turned 18 and he now has a 2k taurus as the "winter beater" the 2k1 6cyl which sits in teh garage now and the 2k3 GT convertible which he has gotten 4 more tickets in, and recently drove it off the road into a ditch doing donuts.

i think in teh year nad a half this kid has had his license he has gone through6 or 7 rear sets of tires on teh mustangs and 2 or 3 sets of front tires on the taurus.


I puke everytime the kid gets something new, and he doesn't repsect anyone elses stuff because has never worked for anything.

makes me sick

if everything works out JUST right for you, you can get the tickets and still keep your license.

hehe, my parents made me get a job, work my *** off, and i had to buy my own car... but thats not what i was talking about.

i can understand parents getting a $500 SC or even a toyota or some other car...



but a mint vette? and then another after he wrecks it? and then a new camaro!? cars like that should be earned, not bought.. or atleast respected *shrug*


ima hatea.

Yah I definately know what you mean... all the 'prep' kids at my high school were driving new Explorers, Jeeps, their dad's muscle cars, or other new cars. Then you had the rest of us; with dented up, smoking, etc. cars!
