Nice....I wish I had a camera the other day. It was a small convertable (maybe a Miata) with a huge gas grill in the back...

I drive I95 from NJ to Florida once or twice a year and I do have to admit: I see the most whacked cars on these trips. Especially between Savannah and Jacksonville. (If there is any accounting for taste here then, Arthur Andersen, LLP must be maintaining those books. )

Chevy Ridin High, boy, Chevy Ridin High!

The whole idea of Donk automobiles is a huge commodity in cars these days. Rides Magazine had a whole club devoted to people with those types of cars in last month's issue. Some of the interiors are pretty cool on the cars, but I could see where some people think they are retarded.
