I love the part where he says:

"Car is street legal but is hard to drive with manual brake and steering unless you have a strong left leg. It is a more of sit and look at work of art."

It's that damn Porsche left-leg steering

Now the serious question: what is it?

My question WHY?????

Does it include the flux capacitor?

If any of you fu&^$ers try to outbid me on this I'm gonna get seriously pissed!

The classiest part of that car is the wheel well arches.

classic

I'm past the point and am stuck in
Mark D.

Wow. I said it a few times before I could utter anything else... Wow. Said it backwards even... woW. Then it came out upside down... Mom. Almost speechless...

Work of art?

Hoping for an opening bid of $15k?

I think he used a chopsaw to make the cuts for the fender wells.

Yeah, the left leg... with an automatic... Haha. Maybe it's because even *his* subconscious brain is constantly telling him to run away.... So that leg keeps trying to make a break and run, while his conscious brain keeps trying to keep it inside the car, and... Oy. Never mind.

At least it's a Fiat... At first I thought it was going to be a 914. That would have been more painful. Somebody should post this on that Fiat x19 board we had the run-in with some time back. Could be good for some laughs.

This car actually makes me a little nervous. I am not too sure as to what to think.

reminds me of this SNL skit

Woman #2: [ appoaches the door ] Yes?

Land Shark: [ muffled voice ] Mrs. Arlsbergerhh??

Woman #2: Who?

Land Shark: [ muffled voice ] Mrs. Johnannesburrrr??

Woman #2: Who is it?

Land Shark: [ muffled voice ] Flowers.

Woman #2: Flowers? From whom?

Land Shark: [ muffled voice ] Plumber, ma'am..

Woman #2: I don't need a plumber. You're that clever shark, aren't you?

Land Shark: [ muffled voice ] Candygram.

Woman #2: Candygram, my foot! Get out of here before I call the proper authorities. You're the shark, and you know it.

Land Shark: [ muffled voice ] I'm only a dolphin, ma'am..

Woman #2: A dolphin? Well.. okay..

Wha???

"Does have electric exhaust cut outs to come straight out of headers."

I like the mirrors, they look like the engine pods on the Hindenburg..."OH THE HUMANITY"!

I'm guessing electrically-controlled covers/flaps to let the exhaust exit through a hole before going through the rest of the system/mufflers. That can be kind of fun... Open the holes to get the loud open-header sound, romp on it, then close them up and cruise around quietly while the cops come running. LOL.

As if my old eyes weren't bad enough, I had to open this thread and see more UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGLY than anyone should have to see.

After reading the article a few times I must say . Does this person speak English? I swear that it does not make sence at all.

"Phone number only for people that are interested in purchasing vehicle. No call just to ask how I did this or that."

What if you called and asked why?

Save us...

"Work of art"? Art who .......................? The Cap'n

I love the boat headers. Nice touch. It really gives it the POP it needs to finish off the whole classy theme.

Cap'n - I think you meant "work o fart"

Sorta looks like a TR8 in extreme heat!

And it has that rare "radioator"
Very high quality vehicle, I'm sure

So the spare tire is mounted on top of the carb? Oh wait, thats the air filter...

The Hall of Shame awaits.

I've been laughing so hard about this silly "thing". Sad part is, someone thought they were creating a piece o fart.

Goes to show you where some people's taste is. I think mine is in the upper part of my body!

Nice battery. No wonder the power steering aad brakes don't work, the battery termnials ain't hooked up.

Ferg, take it from me, this car is NOT for you ......Howie..???

OH yes, as i sit and watch this piece of art,this comes to mind( TIME TO FLUSH)

Dave

Maybe if it was yellow

I think I heard the UN announce hearings to consider sanctions on this crime against humanity. And not that I am a fan, but this is a terrible fate for an X1/9. If anyone is near this monstrosity, please burn it for the sake of the poor FIAT at heart.

Then we can 'disappear' Art as his mother should have done at birth.



I think the POP it requires is 10 pounds of C4.

1. Thank goodness he didn't get his hands on a 914.
2. What a terrible thing to do to an X1/9!
3. Why the hell couldn't they have put this between two oncoming semi's on Mythbusters instead of an X1/9 in decent shape?!?

If you look at the side view, you can almost see the Baby Jesus sitting next to the car crying...

I'm thinking its more a car you sit around and shoot at! Bet these guys would love to get their hands on that!

You could easily fit three Storm Troopers in there.
