A TL that needs to be Euthanized
Why would someone paint their TL like this. This makes me sad.....

Sorry, didn't mean to say that it should be moved. I was saying it meets the criteria of being a "WTF Car" because it's so hideous.

Besides, I'm no mod...I have no such magic powers.

It's not completely horrible. Not bad. Kind of looks like blue tape.

That's not so bad. I've also seen MUCH worse in my 12 years on this forum. That one can be salvaged.

I thought U.S. Forces in Germany used U.S. Forces plates. They did when I over there 25 years ago, anyway. Did that change? Those German plates are from Baumholder?

Thanks. Back when I lived in Germany as a military brat, we used USA-sized plates saying "U.S Forces". Times have changed, I guess.

We changed to local area plates a few years ago. Hides us Muricans a little better, but the red rear turn signals and bad paint jobs help give us away. Also, big trucks do too.
