hideous modded 07 Prius for sale on Ebay

Yeah this is a repost from about a week ago. Guess it didnt sell LOL.

 

The gen 2 or gen1 were never appealing cars to me...someone has found a way to make th even more so!!!

 

Gotta love the step on the trailer hitch. I guess that's to reach the rear wing to adjust it for maximum downforce with minimum drag. Obviously the wing mist add 5 MPG. And the scoop. Everyone needs a stick-on, non-functioning scoop.

 

My God! It's like it was made for me!!! (Check out my last name)

Chuck

 

Wow, that's hideous! He attached an erector set to the hatch!

 

Yeah it made me chuck too!!
and I just had lunch.

Oh you said last name, oops.

 

oh my . . . .

well . . . iduno . . . THIS fella seems to have 'em beat ... you know ... with the, "oh my" factor. yep ... now THAT's a spoiler:

This convinces me that, "Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder"

Imagine if the owner were to post on this site - his signature would take a page to list everything that's painted on, glued on, screwed on, or otherwise modified.

 

What's wrong with that?

"More"

 

If this is the same car that I am thinking of, that owner was not content to just change the exterior appearance. He thought that the engine intake air temp sensor had no value and used a fixed resistor to force the engine ECU to think the air was hot although it may actually be cold - in an effort to improve mpg.

 

What are spoilers like that meant for? Gymnastic exercises? Drying laundry?

 

horrible...this guy should stick to honda civics pr ford focus...PLEASE!

 

I know a way to make this even uglier.

No, wait, I don't.

 

Actually, this is a half-serious question. What is a spoiler like that supposed to do?

 

It's supposed to announce to the world HAY WORLD I GOT A SPOILER!!!!

 

in the other post, i asked what were the round reflectors for.........still wondering.

PRIUSROS - a spoiler is supposed to be used for DOWNFORCE. Since the prius is a front wheel drive car, a rear spoiler would not do much except for looks. too much downforce in the rear would cause the front to lift, loosing acceleration.

yeah, not for me.

 

Thanks -- I have really always wondered. In that case, spoilers on any front-wheel drive car doesn't make any sense, does it?

And a spoiler like that monstrosity -- I don't see how it serves any purpose at all, even on a rear-wheel drive. Wouldn't it actually cause additional drag?

 

what a waste of a perfectly good car...
