Alright Thermo...I had never heard of a Dekotora truck so I googled it. Shortly thereafter I think I had a seizure.
I'd like to thank you for that...

 

my grandmothers metallic purple daihatsu terios (small suv jap shopping basket) automatic ! dont find it embarressing but funny ... plus it has rugby number plate surrounds (rugby - the queens version of afl)

 

Any mini van

 

The funniest car I've ever been in, and perhaps one of the most embarrassing (aside from the 92 VW metallic purple/white Cabriolet) would have to be my brother's 2000 Ford F-350 (or is it 250 I forget). It is raised to a horrible extent where it is difficult to enter the cabin. Not to mention having a monstrously loud exhaust and horrible noise from the over sized wheels. When riding in it, many people look at you, and you cannot see anything in front of you. It's actually a bit terrifying. I couldn't stop smiling out of my own amusement with it.

 

Jamey, you are very welcome. LIke I said, has to be one of the ugliest vehicles ever made. Granted, I have seen a few of them driving around (during my adventures in japan) and they are even worse in real life. I just had to smile and shake my head.

 

For those that don't know what a dekotora truck is, below is a picture of one that is only slightly modified. When I say that they put millions of lights on these, I am not joking. While this is a minivan version of it, most of the dekotora trucks are based on the big box trucks. You would have to see a pic to truely appreciate these things in all their "glory".

 

OMG, I just googled a few images of dekotoras. They must make a good living driving these things. There has to be several thousand dollars just in lights on these things let alone all the chrome, platforms and bumpers sticking out all over the place.

 

What a truck indeed . That images shows "slightly modified" I can't imagine a heavily modified one then lol

TopHatChef, that should be a priceless experience I would not stop laughing at all either

 

Well,

One thing's for sure, they don't have Lucas electrics, but perhaps they should have.

 

I once traded my lawn mower for an American Motors product...I have no idea what year it was or what model, but it didn't have a straight body panel on it, nor was any panel the same color as the next. The trunk was held shut by a padlock and hasp affair like you'd find locking someone's barn. I drove that car for several years and the engine was so loose you could start it in -30 degree weather just by giving it a dirty look. I grew to like that old POS. Sold it when I finished college for $75...I told the buyer it burned so much oil that I never had to change it - just add another quart from time to time. He wanted it for a stationary engine. Bet it's still powering a water pump or something.

 

I called it the "Skunkmobile", a phrase given to me by my disrespectful brother.

 

You are insane.

 

79 Chevy Chevette 4 door hatchback with red pleather interior and wire wheels. Even uglier after I rolled it a few times, and had to put cardboard in the rear hatch window.

Worse yet was the 71 MG Midget in azalea pink. Don't ask. It was my wife's.

 

The Mustang II that belonged to my ex wife when I got married the first time. No power at all.

 

Here's a real beauty: Hello Kitty on a Yugo (or at least a car equally as bad as a Yugo).

 

Fiat 126.

Don't think we can accept that one Mike, if it also has a big bike engine, it'll go like stink.

Very popular in Poland .

 

Hi Richard,

Poland? That explains a lot. I don't think someone with Hello Kitty regalia is the type to have a hot engine though.

However, there is a Youtube video of a guy in a Smart car with a 180 hp engine creaming a Ferrari 360 Modena in a quarter mile.

"there is a Youtube video of a guy in a Smart car with a 180 hp engine creaming a Ferrari 360 Modena in a quarter mile."

Hope he doesn't have to turn

 

Hmmmmm, I think the owner of the car is SMART enough to install some side wings just in case

 

I thought a normal pt cruiser was bad, lol
