Oh, but he's so right.

Even more so because it is not a cheap knockoff on a cheap platform but a pretty expensive one on the not so downmarket underpinnings of slaughtered classics.

Foul? Not foul! If I wanted to curse around, I wouldn't have put the * ... Or Should I have gone further with the censorship? Like "f&#ed"?

I highly recommend You not use any words like this, because this could be a serious reson for banning. I perfectly know what does it mean  :'( and I advise You better choose Your words, no matter what is Your opinion about one or other auto in puzzle.. Believe me, there are so many ugly cars here in all sections, but...

The English language contains so many other words that could be used instead, that I don't understand why some people feel the urge to use swear words on numerous occasions - censored or not.

Swear words are just like any other words - useful in particular situations. Sometimes it's such a word that works best to describe something or to react to something. If used for a reason and without excess, it's perfectly ok for me to use them. In this case I think that the car pictured above is indeed a fugly fcuker and should be justifyingly described as such ;)

I stand corrected, as i didn't know that this car has been marketed commercially by now. The source I found describes the car as a one-off, but mentions that the builder cooperated with the Witte company in order to create the body panels. Locked for you to name the base car and find its original builder.

I'm looking for a person's name. He built the original car on a Corvette C4 base. Locked for one more try.
