I think the externally mounted intercoolers are pretty damn cool ;) i mean.. i suppose they'd get destroyed pretty quick in the real world, but i like the look of hoses and tubes poking out of the car. so are those tubes the exhaust? they look like giant red chopsticks or something.

Remmber those saturn commericals where people were driving around in cars without any sheet metal? it was just he frame and engine and stuff? now that was cool. if it werne't for the rain....

They are cars for show competition. Quite a lot here. But many parts are only used for the exhibitions/shows. Otherwise the exhaust pipes would be full of water in case of heavy rain :p

Wouldn't your E30 be bitchin' in this color??? :p And don't you Bayou-folks need cow-catchers on your roads? ;)

It's hard to really knock these guys.....not impossible, mind you.....when you think about all the time, effort and money invested to make their dream vehicle look like it just came out of a Looney Tune Cartoon. Taste.....it's a funny thing I guess.

hell i know what that thing is now, it's a forklift, that cooler is for the hydrallic system and it needs stacks because it's a diesel and you don't want the smoke in your face when loading cargo

....with the front left corner of his "forks". That'll cost him a few style points from the judges! :p

These cars looks like they could float on water!. Are the owners ex-hydroplane racers ?.
