Default I need help figuring out what this is

Ok, made a quick run to Baltimore last night and on the way back this morning around 6:30 the highway was pretty empty. I see this small funny shaped red dot in the distance. Now a small funny shaped red dot in the distance is usually a good thing in that it will turn out to be some sort of exotic. So of course I increase speed (was already on a 2.5 hour pace to NY) to catch up before I lose the opportunity to see what it is.

When I get there, I find:







Excuse the cell phone pics, didn't want to break pace and pull out the digital camera, wish I could have given you guys more detail though.

What is this?

It's a Q45 - I can tell by the door handles.

Someone pleeeease burn that thing to the ground if they happen to see it again. I've seen modde Ford Festivas with more appeal than that.

Yes. It's a pimped-out Q....around a 1994 model or so. That thing is more messed up than Hillary's campaign.
