Not for the weak of heart...

Someone in the diesel forum brought this up.
What kind of sick mind would do this to a fine German sports car?

Stops traffic and draws stares--I'm quite willing to believe that. A grossly overweight middle-aged guy driving down the road naked in a convertible would, too--for somewhat similar reasons. In neither case is the attention related to anything positive....

I'd pay $28K just for the seat the lovely Patricia Arquette sat on!

Seriously though, someone get out their water cooled Browning machine gun and put that thing out of it's misery.

Was that car used in the film "Pink Flamingos"? Wow, what a colossal monument to BAD taste. I swear, I can't believe what people are capable of when I see stuff like this.....

I personally LOVE 59 caddies. They are the ultimate american land yacht. The are road behemoths.The styling is unique and I love fins.(When are they coming back?) Even some of the mercedes sedans had fins. BUT I have to agree that is a monstrosity. It neither does mercedes nor cadillac justice. Lets all get our money together ,BUY IT and blow it to HE!!.
