you shoud see the tires. they have little arrows on the tread to match the car. It is a nice piece of artwork, but not drivalbe artwork(to me anyways)

I think it's quite ugly. What's this about "not understanding it"? Why is that always the reply when other people don't like what you like? "You just don't understand!"

People ask me if I like "black metal". I say no. "You just don't understand" or "It's too extreme for you!"

"Too extreme? Well, if you must know it makes me laugh every time I hear it not quake in my boots. But, alrighty then."

I agree with the Greddy statement. "Let's just slap a big Greddy logo.... I don't know.... HERE!" If I had to pick between the 5axis and this.... I just don't know Tell you what though, I'd take that Injen tC that everyone hates over this in a heartbeat lol. This car makes me think "sneakers" ;)

To me what completely pushes it over the edge are the stars and those rims. I mean, if I saw someone driving it I'd probably still tell them "cool car", because I can appreciate the effort. But, I don't think it looks good at all.

Well, look at it this way: the only people on this thread who seem to know something about graf (and wrote more than two sentences about this car) ain't this silly "holy god, that is worse than hideous!" stuff. I'm a graf head, I'm also a designer, so I know a little about this stuff. I don't think it's amazing, but it's most certainly a respectable piece of work by people who know how to respect art.

its definately different. not mainstream. when people say, "you don't understand" its kinda hard to understand a culture/lifestyle if you are not part of that same culture. i'm no graf artist, but i can appreciate it. how ever, like the black metal comment, you don't have to understand something to know whether or not you like it.

i like some parts of this car's design but the total package remains 'ewwwww' i would like to see more like this tho. a step away from rice is a step in willing to take.

LMFAO!

Anyway, I'll admit I don't know Art, but I have met his brother Phil, and I think this car looks terrible, from an auto enthusiast point of view. I dont' like the arrows or the stars. The tribal striping I can dig, but the arrows and starts have to go. And it needs to be dropped a good 2". Oh, and why does that LCD in the dash look photochoped?

I'm not going to argue against that. I agree wholeheartedly. Call it ugly or whatnot, personal opinions are personal and subjective.

But stuff like this...

I Would soooo drive this car!!!(straight into a brick wall)
Yea... like a trip to the crusher. That sucks.
If you took a ____ on that car it would be an improvement.
i hope whoever did that is run over by a speeding ricer
...is more than just dislike. It's downright frightening actually...intolerant and narrowminded with just enough violence to enforce what the "right" thinking should be. I know its just a bunch of stupid kids on a message board but the attitude that there is a wrong way to do art is something I blame on ignorance.

i'm a graffiti artist and i can see where this is comming from and while i have to say that the interior isn't all that bad, the outside is one of the ugliest paintjobs iv'e ever seen, those are also the ugliest rims iv'e ever seen.

i was gonna say exactly the same thing. The outside it just terrible , but inside ... i love it with a passion. Very Unique and very stylish . plus very expensive :? , but i likes ... scale from 1-10 ... 5 .. and that 6 goes to the inteior and effort pulled off
