Show me....good taste!

Remember, kind citizens, that this is a "show" car. What sort of category it's supposed to be in, I'm not sure. Perhaps the "I can't decide!" category? I mean, it has rice AND ghetto elements. First off: the ricey stuff. Look at all that yellow! We have- the door handles, trim around the headlights, stickers (Some of them Chinese? On an Eagle?), a radioactive symbol (so you know to stay way the hell away from it), the cowl (but sadly, not the wipers), and numerous engine bits.

Now onto my favorite part: the ghetto stuff. Mmm mmm mmm! Nothin' screams "PiMp" (other than pimpstriping) like a purple crushed velour interior, interspersed with more yellow. And we can't possibly forget about those wheels! No sir! Daytons with super-round-profile white walls that stick out a good 6 inches from the wheel wells make for some parallel-parking fun! No to mention they look really cool, and improve handling, thanks to the widened track. Hey, it worked for Pontiac didn't it?

Oooh! More yellow! Dice, fuzzy steering wheel cover, rear-view mirror, license plate bracket, gas cap (cuz it's so hard to remember where that damn thing is when it's the same color as the rest of the car), taillight trim, rear seatbelt mount, and more stickers! Note the Mitsu-sport on the rear quarter window. Yeah, it's a DSM, but still, it'd fit better on an Eclipse (like any of that stuff would fit better on anything).

The stickers in the rear window not only serve to inform other motorists what clubs this car is in and where you can do the same things to your car if you choose, but they also block rearward visibility (much like a wing) and keep the driver from seeing the laughing faces of people behind him when he looks in the yellow rear-view mirror.

You know, without those ridiculous wheels, that car might actually be kinda fast. Shame.
