Yes...agreed.....but it's not a bad color. I've always liked lime green, although this shade is a little too yellowish for me.

My first reaction, though, when I see a car like this ( and by doing so I may be violating one of my own anti-stereotype rules ) , is to wonder if the owner doesn't have a bunch of girls ( or in some cases boys ) working for him. Cars customized like this are classical pimpmobiles....you will find them on the streets of a number of larger cities.

What is also odd is that there are different wheels on the left and right sides of the car....notice that ? ....or is it the same car with two different sets of wheels at two different times ?

The ones with the matching greenish-yellow-color inserts cover too much of the brakes, and could cause brake overheating by blocking the air flow. ( That is a precaution I often give people who want to put on aftermarket wheels...make sure they allow in suffucient air ).

That car is pretty bad.

It is completely opposite from a custome one I saw this afternoon. Champagne color with
body kit and nice chrome rims WITH a custom convertible top! This thing was awesome.
Wish I had my camera. Old ladies were stopping in front of it to ask what kind of car it was.
Looked like a Rolls Royce.

Kinda like this but even more pimp (in a good way)

That's awful

The local Chrysler dealer actually sells the vehicles like the one that Bruce posted above. Very cool, but I don't personally like the roll bar.

Chrysler actually made a 300C convertable concept, I think I may have seen it an the auto show in 2005 maybe? I just remember it was absolutely stunning.
