Is this the height of bad taste?

I guess there is not counting for people's taste, but this may have gone too far...




Yes, this used to a Ford Probe.

Good Grief!!

KC, I have to admit, I didn't think it was possible to make the Probe any less desirable. How wrong I was!

Anyone else have any examples of motoring bad taste?

(Or can you show us an ugly car made good with such...additions?)

No Craig, I didn't want to risk breaking my camera by subjecting the lens to a car so high up in the ugliness stakes

I hate to think what happens when it comes to changing the rear wheels

For examples of motoring bad taste look no further than a standard Toyota Yaris (or other similar Japanese mini-MPV-type-thing). If anyone is able to come up with a bodykit to make something like that look even remotely attractive then anything is possible.

Well, since my uncle left me 19.999 pounds I think I'll make the owner an offer

Just kidding, that's just hideous. But I've seen worse over here, specially cabs..........and old Renault 4's.

Yowser, that's quite something isn't it?

American bad taste?, can't see where the steering wheel is.

Someone should do poor Travis a favor and suggest he take his name off the thing.

It's fairly bad taste to build a Cobra replica and paint it pink- I kid you not, saw it again this weekend... ugh!

That modified probe is bloody awful, it makes the standard probe look positively pleasant, that astra looks cool.

Someone should do to Travis what Travis did to the car.

I think Travis can make his own arrangements, judging by the number plate "BEATERz"
