It is simply the excession of the apex of an American Pimp Mobile, clearly marked by the flag stickin' out of the rooftop.

No reason to get excited, Jim.

Did I read it correctly that it says "Airwolf" on the side. Does the car come with reflective silver flightsuits?!

Jim, was there something wrong with that? What was it in particular that you found fault with? All in all, a very lovely automobile . . . .

Dee8go is bidding on it, he's doing it under another name. I want the handicap sticker on the floor so I can get a good parking space.
Jim- Speechless my butt, I heard that schreek all the way from Cali.

I especially love the innovative bug screen (an old screen door?). You need to keep that chrome clean.

I can't imagine anyone thinking that those rear tires look good. I guess there is so much "train wreck" there that the wheels aren't really that noticeable anyway.

Can't you just picture it in his garage next to his SEC?

I would never bastardize a car like THAT on my worst day! Shoot, I would never have bought one of those Sevilles in the first place. They certainly were not one of Cadillac's best efforts.
