    I'm sure you all see misguided souls that have done stupid things to their vehicles every day. One of my favorites is hanging a massive spoiler on the back of a clapped out econobox. This morning's candidate for bad mod of the day features a beat up mid-90's Jetta with an incredibly large spoiler and of course the requisite fart can muffler. Blurry cell phone pic but had to share, feel free to add to this thread next time you come across some bastardized vehicle.

    Hey, we all have picture cell phones and are surrounded by overwhelmingly bad taste every day right? Post them up, nothing like a bit of mockery to raise the spirits! :)

    I actually had a 1974 Fiat X1/9 when I was 18, learned a lot about Italian electronics, couldn't run the blower fan and wipers at the same time or the instruments would quit working. Think I would have learned my lesson but over the years I've also had a Fiat 124 and now have an Alfa Spider.

    And I didn't make any of them into a 4x4 :rolleyes:
