if you thought the monte was ugly before...

[04monteintimidator]

alright well i came across this picture online... and could not stop laughing for a couple of minutes... what makes it funnier is that the owner of this car is completely convinced that this looks good... its really one of the most ridiculous things ive ever seen in my life...

how... freakin ridiculous... oh man... it looks like he wanted to turn his monte into a 4x4... i cant... wow...

[Fijian]

dude. thats a scrapper. dont be dissin the bay area way of life.

cars like that are so popular out here, people are trading in thier beamers for those...

you have no idea

[04monteintimidator]

that has to be one of the stupidest things I've seen in recent memory...all it needs is a monster wing and it'd be complete! Must be had to turn the wheels on that thing without scraping the wheel wells.

...does that say "26 cents" in the rear window? If so that's about how much the car is worth

Sad thing is..it doesn't look any uglier than the normal Monte Carlo...just stupider. Talk about adding injury to insult!

however... i hafta wonder... "a type of car called a buick" thats um... what?

Time for a little BMW education...

Bimmer: BMW car

Beamer: BMW Motorcycle

Now, on to pronunciation...there is a lot of controversy about this topic, but this is indeed the correct way of pronunciation...

Beamer is pronounced just like it is spelled. Amazingly enough, same goes with Bimmer. So when talking about BMW cars, it is actually pronounced Bimmer (sounds like "dimmer") whereas when talking about bikes, it is Beamer.

Back on topic...I actually saw a B-body impala SS on 26's like that once...other than the wheels, it wasn't nearly as gawdy...still pretty horrid though...I almost took a picture...

Looks like something a flashy homosexual would pimp in. Just hilariously grotesque.

I think you just asked for NOS' hand in marriage.

I've seen a few cars like that around Chapel Hill, most noticeably a blue 90s Caprice. Sad thing is, with a toned-down paint job of a similar color and some nice chrome rims that actually fit the car, it would be a real looker. At least with the Monte, they started something with something less non-hideous.

Heh-heh..nah, it's probably some ghetto gangsta-wannabe hip-hop fan. Poor kid could have spent the same amount of money and bought something nice..

I bet he's also really into NASCAR to the point where this hideous Monte can only turn left.

[Robert Hall]

I think this is the first time I've seen a donk-style car done from a FWD unibody car... donks usually seem to be old RWD BOF GMs..

[loki]

i have seen a MC that color before, just not that... well... rediculous

[Newbiewar]

you know i saw a guy that did that to his corolla, and he tried like 15 times to get his door to latch.. and then i hurd, i dont know if its true, but if you put those lambo doors on your car, it gives the car a salvaged title... not sure if thats true... just heard from a friend

When Knightfan comes into this thread and reads how you all have been making fun of his newest Monte, you all are going to feel really bad...

[Guest YellowJacket894]

Oh, I've seen worse.

Crawling through a Wal-Mart parking once, I found a mid-90s Chevy Corsica with a terrible orange paint job -- I mean, this had to have been done with a roller brush and a can of cheap latex paint; you could see the original blue under it, a terribly smashed in passenger side fender, and a black and white "01" painted on the door. I was actually dissapointed that the owner of the car didn't paint a 'Fetti flag on the roof.

[knightfan26917]

LOL!!!

Yeah, not only am I into drugs, but I just bought that beautiful piece of artwork in this thread's original post ... and have turned back into my "evil twin" that took over my life when I owned my 2000 mc LS..... Go figure .

*pauses*

Course, I suppose that scenario is much better than having a "mass" on my liver ... and a bunch of other new health issues.

Aye. Or not.

[Flybrian]

Well, Cort, the side you show the world is up to you.

[knightfan26917]

Yeah, I know .

I'd prefer that my "evil twin" never come back ... and he won't, so long as I don't own another FWD monte carlo ... and keep my RWD Monte Carlos .

*pauses*

Course, I'd also prefer not to have to go through the new health issues either....

*sighs*

Sometimes, though, we can't get want we want.

BTW ... in all seriousness, while that artwork in the first post is a bit, well, odd, I gotta hand it to whoever did that ... looks like some great work, not to mention time and money into it.....

I've seen more taste in the artisitic expression of a child's full diaper than can be appreciated in that ugly piece of garbage.

Honestly, I don't care what scene or popular showcar antics this car represents; it's a disease, and a stick of dynamite is the cure.

Motor that thing onto the stage at Barret Jackson's and the crowd would be laughing their asses off.

That was awesome!

Oh and OCN, you should know damn well that we have more taste than THAT! It kills me when guys flame out their cars... paint them fuschia and put rainbow stickers all over them.
