The scary thing is that these things are from Japan, not somewhere here in the US. Looks like poor taste is universal

LOOK AWAY!!!! LOOK AWAY QUICK!!!! It's like staring at the sun... it'll definitely irreparably damage your eyes if you stare too long.

Guigaro is scared - his designs look so foolish now! Pininfarina, Bertone, and all the others will concede to the genius of these automotive artists!

the yellow chains holding the "front spoiler?" up are just too f-ing funny!

Do two wrongs make a right?

At first glance I thought one car's headlights were falling off, then I realized it was deliberate.

Maybe not bad as an "art car" impressionist work - a version of the LeMans prototype machines. I think I see a little Bentley in there myself. Now if they would just cut away the roof, it would be a dead ringer for the Audi.

Heh. I'd drive it.

Actually looks very practical - The Aredub style 'possum catcher with flipper option, flings carcass over roof with hood mounted "huffer" assist into trunk mounted "rendering" attachment. The wheel well cladding IS a bit over the top though, but at least it's tastefully color coordinated.

Gotta love the sticker OVER the headlight....that's gotta be safe for night driving! Although, i guess all the yellow would reflect enough light to be able to see.

bad taste is universal and it tends to be worse in japan tho

LMAO!!! I'm not sure if these are genuinely someone's bad taste or more of a parody. They just seem too over the top and cheaply done (not only that, but look at how old and the type of cars used) to be taken seriously by even the owner/builder.

Are there any more pics? It looks like the car to the left in the picture might be part of the gang too. Only a little piece of the car is showing but looks like some strange wire/cable running through the front grille and a not-quite-so-extreme version of the cow catcher on the front. And is that tall pole that goes up and out of the camera range part of that car too, or just sprouting out of the parking lot?

Damn I thought that they were just on their own trailers

Someone has a really wild sense of humor.
