That jeep is a drat shame. I think the current style is pretty handsome. To me a Jeep is relatively plain and function all. What the gently caress are they thinking?

They're thinking of their target audience, to which a Jeep is something shiny to show off to the neighbors.

I get that taste is subjective but I will never understand why extreme amounts of camber are supposed to look good.

I've seen a bunch of cars lately in NW Washington which honestly look pretty nice except for the ridiculous amount of camber they're sporting.

I just don't get it. I'm old I guess, get off my lawn, etc

I gotta vote wrong thread for this one, it warps beyond awful back into awesome territory.

I also like that it isn't over-done, it looks really utilitarian. Like the pickup bed is actually used.

Yeah, I love it.

I had an Aveo once as a rental. I abused the hell out of it, and it was fun for that, anyway. That poor e-brake...

These are the ugliest wheels in the thread, bar none, and that is saying something.

I mean yeah those single-bar "they'll go oval shaped in a week" wheels are dumb but good gracious is this ugly

This though?

Paint this matte black, take the dumb roof scoop off, put a better hood on it, and put less dumb wheels on it, and I'd drive it.

I imagine a mentality of "HEH vagina joke LOL my buddies are gonna LOVE THIS poo poo". Consider the target market.

Also I have a serious boner for matte finishes, so I don't hate that Audi as much as I probably should.

I also haven't seen nearly as many slammed/stanced VW Golfs in the Seattle area with shocker stickers lately as I used to. Jesus, a few years ago, 9 out of 10 Golfs I saw had gigantic shockers in the back window.

gently caress that's terrifying. :stare:

Living in bumfuck Oregon and driving around bumfuck Washington has exposed me to countless unsecured loads. Back when I was farming, we tied our equipment down pretty tightly when we'd travel, but some of the poo poo I see other people doing is basically just "stuff as much junk into the truck as you can, gently caress nets/bungee cords/whatever". Landscape companies and painters/contractors are the worst I've seen, aside from the farmers.

Drivers to/from dumps and moving are frequent offenders too.

The poo poo that is getting really old out here in CO is these assholes hauling dirt/rocks due to all the construction. This is a necessary evil, but I swear to god, half these assholes don't even latch the rear gate on the dumptruck so it's just constantly spewing dirt/rocks onto the road for miles behind it. Which brings me to my next point. Buy a 3m clear bra. 2 years and 23k miles and my front bumper is still pristine, while my windshield already looks like complete poo poo.

You know what I love that reminds me of this? Dirt/rock hauling trucks without canvas/tarp tops with a sign on the back saying "NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGE".

gently caress you, truck guy. I've been many carlengths behind, it doesn't matter, rocks fly off or bounce and hit windshields from pretty decent distances. Cover your stupid load!

There must be something wrong with me because aside from the silly horse decals on the hood I love that car. I don't really know mustangs so if that is a bastardization of a badass car then I guess I'm wrong, but that seems pretty cool to me. I really like that front end for some reason.
