If you dress a hummer up like a bentley does that make it a Bummer? (maybe that's the driver)

Worst is when they try and fit kits from different series to a VN for example. I think I've seen some people try to put VY kits on a VN. Body kit would be worth more than the car.

After showing him many Fords he in the end told me "I'm not buying a Ford". So he buys this VN which has 2 subs cut into the parcel shelf, first mod a nice amazing pod filter not enclosed. Has a neon in his interior. He also likes those retarded altezza's that look like they belong in Back to the Future. As for the ******* up examples they look like the Beez Kneez to him.

i hate VL commdores with chaser/pursuit rims on the back dumped in the *** with P plates.
because its every second car.. and yea.. bentleys are bentleys.. hummers.. dont have the right to be bentleys. shows that the particular person had the money** to buy a Hummer, then get it customised to look bentley.. ish and was too stupid to realise that with the money spent on the body kit/interior probably couldve bought a freakin bentley

Would've prefered a Lamborghini Cheetah instead.
Hummer H2 with the Bentley R engine - now that would be worthwhile in the dunes |

Looks abit like the work of the "pimp my ride" crew & like most of there work...its disgusting, Very much african american gangsta/pimp style, lucky we dont have to much of that influence on our cars here, apart from the "sex spec" thing you see everything now & then like putting 22's on a 200SX...

At the end of the day what happens when your driving your replica and pull up at the lights next to the real deal? In the words of Jeremy Clarkson "It's the Automotive equivalent of standing at the urinals next to a Stallion, you'll just feel earrrgghh"

he even has the Boss stickers on the bonnet! Thats at LEAST a 20rwkw gain right there... I agree with the "each to thier own" thing, but replica's (i'm talking newer falcons, EA onwards...) just look tacky. I mean, my XR8 is just that, an XR8. NOT a GT. I think it would be degrading to both the GT and XR badges if i was to turn it into another replica.

I put replicas of classics like XY GTHO's in a different cetegory though, as the prices of geniune ones is so far out of reach of the average person that replicas are the only option for the average joe who craves a GTHO. I think thats different from some tool with a 5k VT who wants his car to look like a 15k Clubsport, by the time they tart up their stocky it probably costs near enough to what a genuine one would have cost in the first place. |
