Wow. Fulgy!

Get the car, dude. You'll have an awesome car and you'll rid yourself of that constant nagging that chips away at your soul. Life is too short to allow a woman to keep you out of the car you want. Trust me I've been there twice.

Great reply; just what I wanted to read. I'll be waiting for the next Accord generation, because I cannot stand the nose on the current ones. They're fugly. Hopefully the next iteration goes back to having a normal looking grill/nose.

Assholes??? Can’t say I’ve ever met the owner of one of these, but I highly doubt he rounded up the money to buy one by being shitty or asshole-y to other people.

Oh cool it's a Lexus. Would you like a car to go with your FRONT GRILL???

THIS. Great throbbing cock of Christ, THIS.

Noob here. How come there's a gaping hole in the front? Why doesn't the car have a proper "nose"? Is there some sort of engineering advantage to this?

A price that low? You could flip it for three times that. Take the damn thing and keep it as a "Gotta go to Home Depot to pick up a big thing" vehicle.

I lived in Florianopolis in the early 90s and saw these occasionally. Probably a different group, but the culture of making these has been around for a while. Back then it was Testarossas and Diablos mostly.

Even more painful to look at. They've been ugly since 2002.

Don't buy these. I know because I'm a frequent renter, and abuse the living shit out of them. Stress-testing, for scientific purposes. Don't ask.

Great suggestion. It would firm up some of the guesswork in this analysis. Take an upvote, sir.

Growing up in Northern CA in the late 70s/early 80s, I vividly recall some fucker in my neighborhood had one of these kits, and yeah, even as a 10 year old kid, it stood out badly, and still I could tell without ever even seeing a real Countach. I only knew it from having the Transformers toy Countach (wasn’t his name…

I’m just vexed by the juxtaposition of two words that don’t go together. Seems odd to be frightened of having fun (or is it having so much fun that you’re frightened by it....???). Either way I don't see how the two can coexist in the same sentiment.

“frighteningly fun"??? 

Yes. It's like the locks on bathroom stalls: "there to keep the honest people honest."

Thanks!

Good to know! I wouldn’t de-badge, but I would definitely de-wing. I’ll check it out.

I see what you did there... ;-)

I grew up in the cult, and as long as you're not married, they'll ALWAYS "forgive" you for vajeen penetration... Putting precious tithing dollars at risk for practicing what they (used to) preach is something they always forgive.
