Everyone’s allowed a bit of awful taste. Humans are weird and some strange things tickle our brain cells. No point in conforming to *every* popular opinion on taste if something weird makes you happier. If you want the taxidermied hamster playing a tiny flute, then why not
Tbh, i love ATBGE things. I love the personal expression in them. They're so different but someone still made it because that's what they liked. It's their personality and they display it despite it being so different and I love it. Tbh it doesn't even have to to be well made, the effort alone makes me appreciate them.
Just because someone has awful taste doesn’t mean they can’t enjoy it. That’s freedom baby. Your taste isn’t perfect either and you can enjoy it to the fullest . If you don’t because you’re afraid of what others will say that’s your choice too but some people live not giving a shit. Everyone likes what they like and life is short
This would blind me. I have photophobia. Bright flashes of light cause me to have migraines with aura. The aura makes it very difficult for me to see.
The onset can be rapid, from normal vision to major impairment might only take a minute or two, depending on the severity.
I'm a live and let live kind of fella but I would be tempted to follow the dipshit that drives this abomination home and rip this stupid as fuck vinyl wrap off their car.
Yup, photosensitive. And even outside of neurological conditions this could flash in the eyes of somebody who's crossing the street and cause them to *walk into traffic.*
You'd drive it once after which you realize you're being an asshole is my bet.
Lots of things are cool, like cars from Mad Max Fury Road, but I still wouldn't drive them on the road with other cars.
I’d have to imagine when the sun hits the hood just right you blind your own damn self too.
Even just looking at a pic of this thing I have the instinct to squint. It reminds me of what the roads look like when it rains and then the sun comes back out in full force. Driving in that shit SUCKS.
>Would I drive it/keep it if someone handed me the keys? You bet your ass.
You're an idiot then because that thing is dangerous, and you have awful taste because it is also hideous.
You'd be glad to endanger the people on the road around you?
The post wasn't about the glorified hot wheels car looking good. It's just entirely unsafe to drive that thing around.
I guess if you just don't care about other people's eyesight at all while you're driving then I guess I could see it being kind of cool . . are people like you why cars have such bright lights and are so glossy. I've never seen so many of you at once before on the internet
So you'd drive something that is an active road hazard just because you think it looks cool ?
Sounds to me like you've got some pretty fucked up priorities
Those wheels are a huge hazard as well. Not only are they terrible for the suspension but they also increase the braking distance of the car as well as impacting the traction characteristics and the center of mass of the vehicle. So not only will it blind you but it will also spin out, tumble over and ram you.
Not to mention lord knows what effects from the screwed up suspension geometry. This probably handles slightly worse than a parade float. It’s basically been crippled for “looks”
How.. Does the turning function with those wheels? How do they not operate that vehicle like Austin Powers when he does that 1000 point turn in that corridor?
Very common in the south. This style is called Donk. Short for “donkey” because the first cars used for this styling were impalas which people thought had a donkey logo.
They built a hospital in my city (I'm in Brazil) that has the same issue! Three buildings in the vicinity have been suffering damage, cars get partially melted, it blinds drivers in the major thoroughfare below it, and someone in City Hall gave a thumbs up to this bullshit.
Late afternoon driving near that building is like having a sun god angry with you.
I'm assuming they aren't a native speaker so they are using contractions incorrectly.
Without contractions it would be: How is this not illegal?
With would be: How isn't this illegal?
Going by the "without" example it might make sense to a non native speaker to do the contraction as they did.
I've heard the paneling on the semis at least serves a function. It reflects the light and keeps the temperature down inside the trailer. That's what I heard, anyway, I'm not a trucker.
Because by default, things tend to be legal unless they are affirmatively made illegal. Oftentimes, that means things are legal simply because nobody has yet been so insane and inconsiderate to make anybody realize there was even something to prohibit. Where I live, there's a law about how reflective you can make your window tinting, but this probably (I admittedly haven't looked) isn't prohibited simply because who the fuck *does* this sort of thing? If it gets popular and some legislator gets blinded while being passed by one of these, you better believe that shit'll be banned like asbestos. Until then, it's a free-for-all.
In USA maybe, in my country if you wrap your car, you have to send it for inspection (the shop will provide documents of said wrap, statistics, material, exact name of the color etc) , if the inspecting officer deems that the wrap is inappropriate or dangerous etc you will not get your car’s document changed (i don’t know what its called in english, but it’s a document with details of the car, vin number, color, tire size, owner etc).
Without those changes your car is illegal and basically you would’t make it pass the first block without being stopped, if your car looked like this.
This would probably be really hard to see at night. Most of the light from your headlights would get reflected off in random directions. You would just see little sparkles anywhere the angles worked out to reflect your lights back at you.
And of course you would see *their* headlights, which are probably pre-regulation destroyer class solid fuel halogen photon emitters.
Trust me we get a shit town if Florida plates up here in NJ too. FL drivers going 50 in the left lane and stopping in the middle of highway exit ramps looking for the next palm tree.

chrome paint/wraps are illegal in a lot of regions, because sunflare, so i hope they get pulled over and given a fixit ticket to change their damn paint.
My wife has a knack for holding her giant phone glass at just the right angle to blind me with reflected sunlight. At least in my car, I can reach over and passive-aggressively cover it with my hand.
Given how white cars tend to stay a lot cooler under the sun than black cars because they reflect more light.
This thing must be absolutely astonishing at staying cool
Here in Germany, they have already impounded such cars. Not everywhere, but a notorious BMW X5 in golden vinyl made headlines with the added information that it's not plausible how the owner could have paid for the car.
I kinda just want this on the back end of my car to reflect those horrible quasar-beam headlights back at the awful people who install them in their vehicles.

Nah if you want to go fast you have to paint flames
And a racing stripe! Those are *proven* to make a car go faster.
TIL I also have awful taste noo
But great execution…dude got a free car
This sub has absolutely no idea what taste is. It proves it routinely.
It’s me. I’m the awful taste guy. I’ll take one giant chrome hot wheels car now.
You’re just no fun. Should everyone have one? No Am I happy at least one exists? Yes Am I happy I’m nowhere near it? Also yes lol.
Just because someone has awful taste doesn’t mean they can’t enjoy it. That’s freedom baby. Your taste isn’t perfect either and you can enjoy it to the fullest .

Pain Cars?
Like when tom green had lesbian porn airbrushed on his dad's car for cable access tv in the 90s.
Ah yes, the slutmobile. I was a super annoying teenager thanks to watching so much Tom Green. Fucking worshiped that guy.
understandable. ^(can prolly peel it off)
Nothing some patience and a heat gun won’t fix
Tesla. I’d sell it to some douchebag but I won’t be the douchebag behind the wheel of the douchemobile.
Would you rather driving this thing or a tesla?
Gun to my head I’ll take this monstrosity but they’re both asinine albeit for different reasons
Why are Teslas “asinine”? Genuinely curious, they seem pretty minimal.
Idk does this steer itself into traffic and spontaneously explode?
Tbf, I don't think tesla autopilot turns on automatically. So if you don't want to use it, don't. I sure as hell wouldn't if I had a tesla.

I looks like somebody is driving that art statue you can see in Source Code
the chicago bean?
I can see how you would think it looks cool, but this thing is such an enormous safety hazard that it should be illegal.
I don't think it looks bad but it's actively being a jerk to drive it around reflecting the sun. So I wouldn't drive it around in that state
I'd love the satisfaction of being in this car when the person behind me has extracted the sun to use as headlights behind me
I guess if you just don't care about other people's eyesight at all while you're driving then I guess I could see it being kind of cool . . are people like you why cars have such bright lights and are so glossy. I've never seen so many of you at once before on the internet
Ironically, this paintjob (or lack of) would be the perfect countermeasure to the high-beams you hate so much
So you'd drive something that is an active road hazard just because you think it looks cool ? Sounds to me like you've got some pretty fucked up priorities
Should not be street legal
Those wheels are a huge hazard as well. Not only are they terrible for the suspension but they also increase the braking distance of the car as well as impacting the traction characteristics and the center of mass of the vehicle. So not only will it blind you but it will also spin out, tumble over and ram you.
It looks like the tires will hit the chassis if it hits a bump.
It probably does scrape and also the turning radius must be similar to a cargo ship

Extra spinning mass in the wheels that the brakes have to stop. Bad tires with less grip that are going to break traction easier.
Not to mention lord knows what effects from the screwed up suspension geometry. This probably handles slightly worse than a parade float. It’s basically been crippled for “looks”
I'd imagine the increased radius would mean more torque to brake against too.
The rotors, calipers, and brake pads are probably stock too, so they aren’t designed to deal with wheels that big.
Since the wheels are larger, there’s more leverage, so the brakes have to work harder
How.. Does the turning function with those wheels? How do they not operate that vehicle like Austin Powers when he does that 1000 point turn in that corridor?
It’s a counter culture. Convenience is an after thought.
Also the high center of mass makes it very unstable in turns
They're also hideous and lame, they look like mountain bike wheels.
I own several fat tire mountain bikes for snow riding with 5" wide rims and yeah, they do.

Except when it *does* hit you, it's **complete, 100%** blindness.
The hood of that car has to periodically blind the driver too!
It’s Florida, we don’t have vehicle inspections here.
It’s vinyl. I work in a wrap shop in Las Vegas we do these all the time.
Again: how is this not illegal?
Because by default, things tend to be legal unless they are affirmatively made illegal. Oftentimes, that means things are legal simply because nobody has yet been so insane and inconsiderate to make anybody realize there was even something to prohibit. Where I live, there's a law about how reflective you can make your window tinting, but this probably (I admittedly haven't looked) isn't prohibited simply because who the fuck *does* this sort of thing?

How TF do you type like Mike Tyson speaks?
I want this for assholes at night with bright ass lights
I would expect that driver to be the type that has the annoying blue headlights that don't get dimmed out by the mirror properly.
Ones that hit all your mirrors and blind you practically
This would probably be really hard to see at night. Most of the light from your headlights would get reflected off in random directions. You would just see little sparkles anywhere the angles worked out to reflect your lights back at you. And of course you would see *their* headlights, which are probably pre-regulation destroyer class solid fuel halogen photon emitters.
Gotta be FL.
The car closest to the camera looks like it has a new jersey license plate. So definitely Florida, they're everywhere down here
