My GOD
I know it's you car and you can do what you want with them...BUT....
IT's funny how some people get all worked up over the rear reflecter add-on..
Compared to this it's not so bad.
Also, isn't the intake coming out the engine grille ment to face forward? Assuming there is a big V8 in there nut I am sure it's for looks. Speaking of looks, I love how they added everything from the Pepboys "RICE" isle for the interior.
CHeers what a great way to start the week..

I bet there is a V8 in there for a couple of reasons. 1st there is 8 exhaust pipes which, although rediculous, I have seen before on Camaros and Corvettes. Second, yes the intake is facing the wrong direction, BUT, there is a roof scoop with piping to the base, so I think he has fabricated something for forced air. Also why the hell have those HUGE slicks in the back if you can't even get them to turn with a 4-banger. While I don't think that the car is very attractive, I think it is a purpose-built racecar, and I betcha it wins races. Someone on this board MUST know whos car this is.

How much you wanna bet that the guy that owns this restaurant owns (owned) the car...
http://www.grandcouleedam.com/lapresa/aboutus.htmlIt is in Grand Coulee, Washington. The owner of the restaurant matches the name on the license plate.

C'mon now.... that poor guy has probably put COUNTLESS hours of work into that "car", and is probably quite proud of it.
Personally, I'd rather be drug from a rope, behind the car, that to have someone seeing me drive it....
But... it's his car...... I think he needs some bouncie-bouncie hydros to make the "conversion" complete

I must admit I like those rear box flares, especially if those vents really are functional. I must admit the headlights look stupid and the goofy red interior touches are hideous but I really don't hink it is all that bad. Of course, I tend to appreciate anything custom because you can tell someone was thinking (apparently this guy did some of his thinking while high or is just color blind, I'll admit).

I was in Washington state a while back, I notice this 14 is from Washington. My partner and I rented a couple of motel rooms that someone had stolen the heating/air conditioner unit appearance covers from (you know the kind that usually sit below the front window of the motel room). I wonder if it was this guy? His rear fenders look just like the missing heating/air conditioner unit appearance covers.
