Yes, yes yes... I saw three of these parked outside the local Starbucks this morning, which tells me only one thing. There's too many self-Indulgent wieners in this city with too much bloody money!

I was honestly expecting something far worse when I read some of the comments, but after looking at the car, all things considered, I must say its not all THAT bad. I was expecting a purple car with yellow flames all over it or something.

If I had to have flames on my car, this wouldn't be a bad option. Just saying, all things considered.

how is this car CPO'd? the dealer actually paid to get this certified. are they really thinking they'll recoup that money?

flames on a TL = FAIL.

Haha sad part is it looks like a clean find! If you were willing to remove the flames it would be a clean car.

^^personally, i think they're morons for not removing the flames themselves in efforts to thwart the instant cringe effect

they're severely decreasing their market by leaving it as is.

that dealership moves thousands of cars a month.
they dont care about the market, the car will sell.
Plus, Houston is home of ugly cars anyway.....

I think it has potential too.

Difference rims are needed, - black chrome, or matte black.
Black out the windows, looks like they have tint on back, can't tell on front.
Lower it of course.
Black out the grill and tail lights.

But ya, as it sits

They let me test drive any car I wanted.
and no, the salesman did not come along.

filled out some paper work, and the guy handed me the keys.
