I was directing that towards the extremist, always using bright colors and what not.

Just for future reference try to save and post the pics and not link ebay sales. Whenever the bidding ends on that car the link will become dead and we will have a dead thread that goes into the archives. I will let this go for now but will delete it later.

Must be a hardcore Lakers fan.

I paid $4000 for mine and that was pushing it. Even if the motor and drivetrain were in perfect shape, that's still to much. The only way I pay that much for that is if I got a $12000 mail in rebate.

C'mon guys, give him some credit. That flaming steering wheel cover from Advanced Auto Parts in there is worth at least $1,500 by itself.

lol. You all are so quick to criticize but I bet that most of your cars are about as normal and ****ty as the ones that live by me in a trailer park. If that guy wanted ot get noticed, he obviously accomplished it. I just dont get how so many of my fellow highschoolers and young people here love to tear peoples cars apart when their own prolly have leaking valve seals and blown out mufflers or rigged up flowmasters.

As a car enthusiast, there's a couple of ways you can look at that car. First, the amount of work to basically redo the whole car is impressive. I can certainly appreciate that considering mine isn't one of those "normal and ****ty" ones, so I understand. But that doesn't change the fact that it is in NO WAY worth $15000. The cold, hard truth about that car, and many others, including mine, is we all base the value of our "babies" on how much money is spent on parts, how much time is invested, and especially for me, how much blood, sweat, tears, skin, ...etc is left on the car. I think this guy is having the same problem. He is certainly proud of his creation, like most of us are of our own. To end this on a positive note, whether any of you want to admit it, he is one of us. A fellow third genner with a (very) different tasted in style. And for that, he gets a
