- Wouldn’t it look better (?) as an all-yellow car with the airbrushed decal pattern theme carried on and applied cohesively throughout?
- Does the PBC (Pep Boys Chrome) suit the car, much less bear any thematic relation to its modded state? Note they came later, as they cover up the sticker-paint.
- Is there a planet where horsebuggy-inspired black fabric (yes, fabric) top hats go well with techno-yellow and sticker ribbon appliqués?
- Would it look better if the Amish Hearse window theme was applied to the rear quarters, a-la panel wagon? Does the tiny, over-matched chrome rivet strip fool anybody into thinking this is a “convertible” (maybe it would with a PBC landau bar)?
- What purpose does the oversize retractable fabric roof serve: amusing cover for a standard sunroof, or band-aid for a sawzall mistake? Does the wind deflector live there to serve its intended function when the roof is open, or is it actually to keep the roof from being sheared off?
Despite these puzzling aesthetics, the most distressing thing about this car is the fact that someone, somewhere, expended the effort to develop a sticker package specifically for that ground effects kit, but with such poor sizing and fitment as to make the sum seem like an afterthought. Marvin the Martian agrees: a quick Krylon fill was never more necessary. You want to know something funny? I sincerely have a hard time making fun of a car like this, as I find them more frustrating than pure folly. Any one of the displayed themes would have been an acceptable statement – perhaps even a unique, polished, and respectable one – if the builder simply chose one favorite flavor, mastered and refined it, and knew when to stop. But this unholy mishmash of Mennonite-Techno-Pimp is just too much to stomach, and so we are left to shake our heads with bemusement whilst steering well clear of the loud, obnoxious aftermath.
