    New World Record: Most Bondo Used To Repair A Car

    I couldn't say this was Carbage, so I posted it here.

    I was driving around today when I spotted this in a small strip mall.



    I thought that the rear profile looked really odd, so I went and got a better look.







    I believe we have a new world's record for "Bondo used as a repair on a single car." They didn't even bother trying to bend back the outwardly-bowed upper rear window frame, they just Bondoed over it... and the entire side of the car!!! Then they did a Krylon spray-can paint job to cover up the unsanded Bondo.... I wonder if they wrecked the car late one night and decided to repair the car using stuff they could get from Walmart.

    I'm at a loss for words.

    Although at least they used duct tape too!

    ... I ask Herb Helbig, vehicle synthesis manager for SRT and a member of the original Team Viper development group since day one, if they'd ever thought of adding traction control. "It comes with two," he says, pointing at my feet. "Learn to use them." Got it.

    If they used WD40, we'd have the trifecta of redneck tools.

    Now here is a car that truly deserves its own thread, that thing is hilarious.

    The strange thing is that it is possibly still legal to drive it here in the UK too, but I can imagine the Traffic cops pulling it over and laughing their asses off.

    We could imagine the oil reservoir was a bit low after the accident and they needed to top it off with something...

    He's turned it into a two-door saloon. Too bad it's still a Camry underneath.

    He must have added 300lbs to the side of that car. That is ... awesome.

    Two door sedans are only cool when the doors aren't on the same side.

    I can't believe that was in Texas and not west Virginia. Where was it exactly Spectre?

    I spotted it in Carrollton, near the intersection of Frankford Road and Old Denton Road. It was next to/at the strip mall that's behind the Chevron station on the northwest corner at that intersection.

    So... what you're saying is that some of the doors may not open? Also it looks like they may be illegally parked.
