The Official WTF-Car of the Day Thread
Well, these Bosozoku are your Japanese equivalent of low-riders and choppers (they do motorcycles and trucks too). Somewhat considered to be a form of art. Not my thing, but I can see why there's a following in Japan. At least they have a consistent theme to them (super huge spoiler, ultra long tailpipes and front lip, deep dish chrome wheels, sharp colored paint, etc), and they use classic cars from the 70's and 80's.
Unlike the ricers in the US, just a total mess.

For reasons of personal safety and also convenience we cannot tell you where we shot these spy photos, which was at GM's Milford Proving Grounds two days ago at about 9:17 am.
Anyway, our crack shooters got two clean shots of GM's answer to the Aptera 2e two-seat, three-wheel electric vehicle.
Unlike the Aptera, the GM vehicle, known by its codename "Monte Rickshaw," uses one small front wheel which is connected to the passenger cabin/trunk by a long tube. GM is known to have been researching what's known as Chevrolet Advanced Caster Application, or CACA, which allows the front wheel to spin a full 360 degrees and chatter annoyingly in grocery-store parking lots.
The tube is assumed to be packed, flashlight-style with alkaline batteries or, possibly, magic. Steering is thought to be by something called "helper monkey."
Our sources indicate that: A. The vehicle will arrive in dealerships with the throwback Monte Carlo Style rear seen here with the up-to-the-minute matte black paint job. Or, B. Could this be the next Corvette?!

Nissan Altima WTF! Edition...not for the faint of heart
Saw this car at the mall and I 
immediately.
The side mirrors had BIG DADDY on em.
The doors said "You never met a mother f----- quite like me" on the drivers side and "you never met a christian man quite like me" on the passenger's side.
Besides that I'll let the pics speak for themselves. Enjoy...

i go to school in the south side of Chicago [the ghetto is nearby], and there's some strip malls owned by "BIG DADDY" in the ghetto!!! ["big daddy liquors", "big daddys hot dogs", etc etc]. and i see you're from IL, so is this BIG DADDY's car?!??? i guess his liquor shop is doing much better these days...but i thought he was a pimp, what was he thinking?... i shouldn't joke, someone was stabbed at his hot dog place last month...they probably said something about his car. [cant say i've heard of too many other BIG DADDYS!]
