The last time I criticised an 'unusual' paint job on an XK8, the new owner turned up as a newbie the following week. Fortunately he had a g.s.o.h. and took my comments as constructive criticism!

I at least respect the weinermobile! It's meant to be a marketing tool for selling hot dogs. It's iconic, immediately recognizable and many to look weird. They wanted a car hot dog and it definitely works.

That yellow xk looks weird and isn't associated with marketing. It's just ugly. I really hate yellow cars but even those that like them don't mix yellow with red.

There is only one yellow car I want, and as soon as I hit the power-ball I will have it.

Probably belongs to a McDonalds exec with more money than sense. I used to have a boat I kept at a Canyon Lake slip in AZ and the boat in the slip next to mine was painted and upholstered just like that and sure enough it belonged to a McDonalds employee. At least it finally sank during a storm right at the slip when its cover blew off.

There are some Yellow cars I like, but when owners start throwing in odd OTHER colors with it then it loses me.

Oh, a McJaguar!

Eh, I guess Forgiato is to aftermarket wheels pretty much what Mansory is to exotic cars.

I've seen yellow Ferraris that were definitely drool worthy, but that Jag really was hideous. Jeez, .... the wheels, ..... the top, ..... WTH was he thinking!

The tan and yellow combination on the interior, and the rims, are what really made me gag...

And it looks like a pretty expensive job too.. what a waste.

Maybe this was his inspiration...

I don't mind the yellow, except in combination with the red. Also, the yellow wheels are too much.

No accounting for taste!
