I saw a PRIUS the other day that had been converted to run on LPG.... How loving cheap do you really have to be to take a car that uses FA fuel around town then throw it onto LPG?

Whoa whoa I never said it made sense. Though, if you were super rich, hated meeting people (like at an oil change place) but didn't care about cars, I could see it. Same if you were a hyper-environmentalist (that doesn't understand the current impact of lipo manufacturing).

It's actually my buddy's truck, and the backhoe he just bought. He asked me to ride along to pick it up. Gcvw of 22k iirc...Probably north of 30k, maybe closer to 35k sitting there. Also notice the oversized mud tires, and what you can't see are the spacers between the duals. I was a willing participant but it's a terrible idea I knew was terrible while going along with it. Because I have some stumps that need to be dug up you see.

Yeah, bolt on fender flares are pretty loving horrible. Some kid wanted the look without the work and can gently caress right off.

I feel like most aftermarket fender flares I see are bolted to the car. Either way, straighten those wheels out and would.

I feel like the flares are the least offensive thing on this, at least they're serving a purpose by covering the wheels. That rear bumper with ducting to nowhere...?

I can't bring my self to hate it. Hasn't got full retard camber. Can't help but thing the wheels are a bit cheeky but the tire is somewhere around utter wank. So lose the stretch and dial back the camber, I'd drive it.

Bolt on flares because it is a race car and needs wider wheels and tires is one thing. Bolt on flares to be extra hellaflush is another.

Race cars get a pass on pretty much everything because they have exactly one purpose: go as fast as they can.
