Perhaps if they put the 3 wolves and moon pic on the hood instead, they would have found a buyer.

 

From the item description: "WHEN PEOPLE WALK BY IT, BLOWS THEM AWAY."

I think he's having some trouble interpreting their reaction. I'm sure they're blown away... just not in a good sense.

 

someone should tell the owner that the car is an audi, not a jaguar

 

Money can't buy class...

 

The seller's name is Muffin!? Is that a joke? WTF?

 

That is extremely tacky. It makes me even more curious what "Muffin" is like.

 

So a trans am can have a bird but he cant have cat??? lol honestly its funny.

 

See what happens when you think you want to personalize EVERYthing?

 

You were probably just joking but if not...

- The Trans Am's logo/mascot is the Firebird... so it makes a lot more sense than a tiger or whatever that is on an R8, unless the R8 has a formal animal as its mascot and I didn't realize it?

- Most Trans Ams with Firebird logos on them only have a monochromatic solid logo, not some detailed airbrushed 4 foot wide professionally done painting of one. There's a difference between a detailed portrait of an animal and the small outline of one.

- Let's be honest... a T/A is a car with somewhat low expectations to begin with. A lot of T/A owners don't have the greatest sense of style or class by default, so you'll see a lot of them with kinda tacky stuff done to them. You'd tend to hope for more from a guy who has a car as nice as a brand new R8.

 

One would hope yes, but since class is more of an intrinsic quality generally realted to up-bringing, how much/little class you have is often unrelated in the first generation of wealth.

 

that would've been more appropriate for a jaguar

 

i think its pretty cooll.....

 

It's actually kinda subtle, and the art is amazing. But not on the hood!

This is OT, but this is the first time I've seen non-studio pix of the R8's interior. Is it just me or does it look really underwhelming and subpar? For a 100k+ car, I'd expect more. If you showed me the picture of just the door or the center console, I'd think it's from a 30k or 40k car at best. Plastics everywhere and buttons pulled straight from lower VW/Audi models.

 

^^Agreed. I think the artwork itself was amazingly done and is very subtle,however just does not belong on this car.

 

Value = normal car - cost of repaint + joy of laughing for 5 minutes
