I wonder if this car comes with a clown suit?

I'm not sure what scares the hell out of me more. The car alone. Or the fact that it appears to have stock brakes. Shit like that shouldn't even be street legal without better brakes.

:confused: Why would you need better brakes on something that never goes faster than 30mph?

I love seeing giant gangster rims on something like an escalade/expedition/etc... you have a giant wheel with a teeny tiny brake rotor. It looks hilarious.

Is it bad that I want to buy this car and DD it JUST for the looks I'll get? I mean, I know I'll get laughed out of just about anywhere, but it would be so funny to do.

i wouldnt laff, id assume you worked for the company and drove it for appearances. theres a bunch of company cars that are overly loud visually here, most of them are advertising.the red bull PT cruisers/ mini coopers come to mind.

Sadly this has happened with the same amounts of money you're talking about, in my town.

Ghetto end of town with a chromed Hummer H2 in front of it. /facepalm

We used to watch them pull-up in blinged Escalades and whatnot all the time, dropping-off baby momma and a few kids at the ER for fever and the sniffles, because they "can't afford" a family physician.

$400+ per month car payment, $150+ per month for insurance, $100+ per month for gas, plus whatever the minimum monthly payment is on the $10,000 worth of custom accessories and extra bling they put on credit.

But they "can't afford" an $80 office visit and $20 generic prescriptions for their offspring.
