I see this parked near a house I deliver to sometimes. The licence plate says INTIM8R (I guess INTMD8R was taken?), I guess it's a Dale Earnhardt edition of the Silverado, with Intimidater and SS badges everywhere. I think it's terrible.

Its....not very intimidating to say the least. Apparently, from its license plate, it also has intimacy problems.

For those reading at home who haven't been keepin it real with GM's model lineup, just a reminder that this isn't some crazy aftermarket thing, it was an actual factory special edition truck. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Silverado#Intimidator_SS Is anyone keeping a tally of the number of actual factory stock cars from each manufacturer that show up in this thread?

Reminds me of this. My girlfriend and I saw one in passing a few weeks ago, and we both had the same question -- why would you advertise a car movie on your own personal car? (Of course, it had a "FAST5" vanity plate to go with all the badging.) Told a friend about it, and he provided the link. Edit: Oh wow, this is the exact car we saw. Seems to be one of four made for a sweepstakes. A little tacky or not, good for them for winning one! enojy fucked around with this message at 06:48 on Mar 7, 2013 |

This really intimates what it means to be a Tasdfiaojsdfaoissr 55 in a green Buick or maybe Dodge Intrepid world. It truly is the intimator.

I've been helping a coworker find a car for his kid, so I've been looking on craigslist. I found one that was pretty funny.  Still haven't found one for coworker's son though

Best part about this for me is that they think it is EMP resistant, however it totally has an electronic ignition module that would be fried by an EMP rendering it undriveable.  Also I suppose it's mildly funny that their supposed "bug-out vehicle" won't start.

That pickup truck one (taste aside) had me fooled. I was wondering where the hell one could score a Plexiglas tailgate... It is terrible car stuff. That is also one damned talented airbrush artist.

It looks to me like it's even done from the viewpoint of a person sitting in a sedan instead of a truck, based on the way the spare tire and bedliner/bedrail don't line up viewing from that height. Must be pretty realistic from inside a cop car
