An airport Taxie conversion

on a Mercedes Benz.
BARF, puke, vomit...............

Ah, that feels better, now that I have expressed my personal feeling on the matter.
I must admit the conversion looks very professional, almost OEM.
I will bid $3.00 on it...

If it had the 8-hoe wheels it would look 10x better. I like it!

Other than the flat disk wheels it looks pretty snaz.

Never did like flat disk wheels for some reason.

I think someone sniffed a little too much coke in the 1980s; the person who designed these cars, then the customer who bought them
