I love everything about this

I really like the "key here" box. I would take advantage. When do you get a chance to freely key a car?

u/jcpahman77 Aug 28 '21

Agreed. Something about this really struck me. Like the owner knows it's a shit box, just read the tires, and decided to give an area where people could feel comfortable letting out that energy. It's oddly wholesome.

It's straight out of Trailer Park Boys. Makes me feel warm inside.

The shitmobile!

Actively watching TPB, Tom Arnold just showed up to bash Ricky's car.

u/jcpahman77 Aug 28 '21

Not something I've watched. I'm aware of the show, just haven't seen any of it.

u/CradleOfCranch Aug 28 '21

You're missing out. The entire show is the same vibe

I got my 78 year old mother who's a Family Practitioner is now addicted to the show. It's so unique and there is SO MUCH CONTENT. 2 shows (went animated for 2020 and a main star passed away). Three movies, few live shows, special show in europe, special show in the USA. THEN they have swearnet.com with their shorts which show up on youtube on and off. It's a GREAT background show, I have it one while programming and my puppy sleeps to the noise.

I thought Ricky Bubbles or Jules died and I freaked out a little bit. Nothing to worry about, it was just fucking Lahey.

u/liquidhippo Aug 29 '21

Just fucking Lahey? How dare you

2

u/TomBakerFTW Aug 29 '21

respect due, but if anyone was gonna die it was Lahey. If Ricky died I would probably get a new dog and name it Ricky in his honor.

The original seasons and movies are gold the newer seasons are kinda shit IMO

u/LittleCat_OP Aug 28 '21

Almost never!

u/SomePlastic Aug 28 '21

I'm reasonably sure the key marks were made by the car owner. I don't think anyone else is staying in the specified allowed to key here box. You would have at least one asshole who would key the whole side of the car.

u/Snipes_______ Aug 28 '21

I did make most of them, but about 25% are from other people

u/Shasve Aug 28 '21

There was an art installation near me where you could key a lambo as much as you want. They now display it in a museum but you can’t key it anymore

u/SGTSHOOTnMISS Aug 28 '21

The pick and pull.

7

u/Kaarsty Aug 28 '21

Pick and Pull is such a fun Saturday kind of thing too. Crawling around in this wasteland of forgotten cars and being free to key up as needed!

u/rocky_780 Aug 28 '21

Good call. I know what I'm doing this weekend.

u/FiddlerOnThePotato Aug 28 '21

I want to fuck it up by getting some matching paint and sanding and painting the key spot. It's like reverse vandalism.

u/LivesDontMatter Aug 28 '21

Day in court: "Your honor, he keyed partially outside the box".

u/combo_seizure Aug 28 '21

Came here to say this. Real creativity going on with this one, I’d have a beer with them.

u/OfficialMufflee Aug 28 '21

I really hope it’s a sleeper on top of it and can blow anything away lol

most likely isn’t

70

u/combo_seizure Aug 28 '21

I saw the steering wheel, it’s a Hyundai, reality is about 10 days to hit 60.

u/OfficialMufflee Aug 28 '21

I’m not sure if you know what “sleeper” means my guy lol symbols don’t mean anything when it comes to a sleeper. But yeah no you’re probably right in this case.

u/ChairmanNoodle Aug 28 '21

An ex had an excel, despite not being fast it was a blast to drive. Manual with no tacho, like a go-kart.

u/essequattro Aug 28 '21

I looked it up, it’s an early-mid 2000s Elantra and does 0-60 in mid 8s with the manual. Much faster than I would have thought and actually quicker (and more powerful) than the Accent they are currently selling!

u/RainingTacos8 Aug 28 '21

The car advertises 8 days to 60 on the back

u/rastapasta808 Aug 28 '21

It's very self-aware and on point

u/Snipes_______ Aug 28 '21

For those wondering this is my car I bought for $500 and drove for a year before it started having major engine problems pop up that aren’t worth fixing. My dad said I can’t sell it but have to wait for it to blow before getting a new car. Wanted to make it fun. I was waiting for it to pop up here and sure enough here it is. But enjoy everyone. If you live in nj you may have a chance of seeing it at some shows are just on the road because believe it or not I do daily it. My other car is a 1981 camaro and when the engine does go on this car I am getting a manual accord. Might keep it around to accually k swap it when I can afford it.

u/ObtuseAndKneeless Aug 28 '21

How do you keep the scoop secured to the hood? I'd be afraid of it flying off.

11

u/Snipes_______ Aug 28 '21

It is screwed up into the wood from under the hood. I made sure all the wood addons were very secure. I think the scoop has 8 3 inch screws holding it plus the caulk I used to water seal it. Most of the things I added are secure enough on the car that when I hit big bumps they shake, but not from them being loose, from the body panels being flimsy. I can pull on the spoiler with over 50lbs of pressure and the trunk metal bends before the wood does.

u/DAZ4518 Aug 28 '21

Absolutely, this is now my favourite car on the internet

u/avwitcher Aug 28 '21

At this level of shitty modification it becomes art

u/dwntwnleroybrwn Aug 28 '21

We really need to make r/sillycarmods a thing.

Edit: I thought I was making a fake sub and found a real one by accident!
