This poor vehicle is a perfect example that some people can take worthwhile components and turn them into some ugly disaster, basically I think some people have no sense of style, not perhaps a nice thing to say but this illustrates it well.

You have no doubt all seen something with all the right bits but ugly.

It has nothing to do with money, if you are rich or poor, I toured an auto museum in Vegas, 7th floor of some casino and among the beautiful cars there were several Rolls Royces and perhaps other makes that had special built bodies and they were UGLY, I can' understand why someone didn't tell the owner stop, don't do it, you can do better than this.

Anyway just my opinion.

We're making fun of some schlub who made some bad choices in his design of this "vehicle". I would assume he hasn't had any formal training. What is the excuse for high paid car designers in Detroit for last 40 years?

That's the front spoiler. Obviously, a truck that looks that fast needs more front downforce.

I believe it is. And I swear I believe he's got a full torch set in that "bed". It looks like there's an oxygen tank right beside that exhaust stack!

Or as I heard once: it's so ugly it's got little round bruises all over it from the 10 foot pole.

Maybe the individual in question could not register the thing - that may be why it's for sale .

There are cars selling for $30K+ that I would say aren't much better looking that this POC and they just keep making them:





What I don't get is when the car manufactures actually do make a decent looking car it is usually a design that rips off a design from 30 years ago, like the Challenger and Mustang. Second usually these vehicles sell like crazy for HUGE prices. Why can't they manufacturers make a decent looking car?

The HAMB admins would close it off within an hour because it's off topic and most of the posters would go way overboard with their comments.
