    That's a ZX2 SR. They were / are actually somewhat desirable cars. I haven't seen one in years but I bet there's a cult following for them still.

    That's the early 90s version of the Pintostang.

    I’ll have to look that up, looks like a Ford Taurus to me
    Edit: looked it up, you’re right. Looks like a Taurus though, and either way it’s ugly as heck. The yellow only makes things worse

    It was a Ford Escort variant marketed as a "sports car."

    Ford marketed it as an affordable alternative to the Celica. It was an unholy abomination.

    Can't find a picture of it, but I did sight the bananacar on its way to the Houston artcar parade a number of years ago.

    I laughed, but then I realized that dude has a very short wife that's into horseplay. Good for him.

    We have a few that I havent been fast enough on the shutter to get a pic of.

    One is a lifted F-150 I see all the time with an RTT mounted on a ladder rack, but the rack is like 2 feet over the cab. So the tent is like 10 feet in the air.

    The other is a crappy ol S-10 or similar, but dont up like an Apache helicopter. Like has the little stub wings coming off the side of the canopy with rocket pods, a little 1:2 scale tail assembly, etc. It's...bizarre.
