If you find a COMPLETED item that is an example of shame, post it up. Current items will be deleted.

Why would that fool post a copy of his title with his exact name & address showing for the world to see?!!
I hope that's not his present address. If it is I hope it's securely locked up, but then again, who would want to steal it.

Well, that's your tuner crowd for you....they can come up with just about anything.
But I wouldn't pan them too much.......there are a number of tuners right here on CL. And the big SEMA show in Las Vegas each year is specifically held for the tuning crowd.

I agree though that none of these four cars are my cup of tea....but I've always liked the lime green color of the Mustang and Altima and the magenta color of the Celica. I'm a sucker in general for bright colors.

I like that pink one... especially if the chick in front of it comes with. Seriously, the Celica doesnt look THAT bad, but I would have to pass.

Why do you associate this car with females? Because of the "pink" color? That's not really pink..it is more magenta.
Sounds like another stereotype to me........and like I've said before, many times.........automotive stereotyopes are nonsense. There is no reason why either a man or woman cannot drive a vehicle ANY color they want.
In fact, Elvis Presley.....one of the most throughly "male" singers of all time...........had a pink Cadillac convertible. Bruce Springsteen....another macho "male" singer.....did a song about pink Cadillacs.

I think it might have to do with the fact that the entire car is accented with dragonflies, butterflies, fairies and kanji that probably doesn't really read what it's meant to. I'm not sure a guy would really go for having a "cute" little fairy on his hood. Now maybe a guy would go for a naked chick on his hood. But to each his/her own.
