^^^ That was the build done by West Coast Customs for the guy that owns Monster Cable. And yes, the R8 was modeled after the Tron theme.

Fingerprint magnet. Not to mention deadly flying discs and Recognizers.

I think it's pretty cool. Especially those spokeless / hubless wheels.

Personally I'm not a fan of the LED's. But if you've seen the WCC episode, you'd note that they could not find a solid led strip so they frosted the LED's by sand blasting the outside sheath in an attempt to make them appear more like one solid light. The interior LED's change color. They built that Chrome Tron Audi in 1 week. Nice work IMHO.

I wish I had the collection that Noel Lee has in his garage.

EDiT: I wish I had one car from Noel Lee's collection. (Fixed)

Funny, some things never change at that shop...someone (no one would confess) cracked the front windshield and they were not able to make the first deadline.

^Yeah I remember that episode. Plus from what I remember those wheels weren't entirely safe to drive on. Mostly just for show.

Perlescent paint changes in different lighting.

I'm trying to figure out what kind of car that thing started out as.

It looks like a well done kit car.

I don't think that is a Lambo of any kind-- check out the window frame angles, headlight fit, front hood vents, engine "scoops," etc.

I saw this fine specimen of a 850 on ebay not long ago and saved the images, but I was too emotionally scarred to post them immediately.

that Lambo kit car is just horrible. If you want to see some nice looking ones (for the most part), have a look in here:

Sometimes I hate my suspension. I was on the Belt Pkwy leaving NY this morning and saw a red E28 5 series. It had Florida plates and a spoiler.

And blue flames.





With glitter.




And 6 vents in each fender.

He wanted to race me. I happily obliged.

I don't think there was ever a question as to our collective ability to come up with a reasonable explanation for how such a pattern manifested itself. The entire point of the thread is to make fun of self-inflicted automotive anomalies; hence my post.

BTW, here in Arizona, the default position would have been that he received a new plate at the dealership. He CHOSE to put his vanity plate on there after the fact. Context matters, neurons or not.

I can see the Z in the mirrors, door handle, and windshield. I guess the pictures don't show enough to decide if it is WTF for me.
