By-Tor Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 <thread splitted from RobbieG's topic) Any car suggestions to Ken? He's looking for a new one and drives this at the moment. He's considering this one but it's probably a bit too flashy. This is a great car if you're single. Just imagine the potential increase in your social life you you grow a mullet & moustache and get this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By-Tor Posted September 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Ahh, the car that killed Marcos! Noooooo.... how is that possible? Speaking of butt ugly cars... yes, this is Aston Martin. And no, it's not a hearse. This would be a cool car. At least you could say everyone that "I drive a Mercedes".

By-Tor Posted September 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Hey Robbie, get rid of that Mini and buy this one. I'm not sure what this is though. Maybe a new version of Goggomobil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChipSlap Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 My parents had one of these from 1974. Apparently the frequency at which the engine vibrates when freeway cruising is the same as the resonant frequency of the chassis, or some such thing. The exhaust pipe fell off three different times.

Pugwash Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 I just bought the most beautiful ugly car out there. It's a real love 'em or hate 'em car. And yes, I think it's both ugly and beautiful. It's the Pugmobile (Mrs Pugwash will do all the driving). You may all laugh, but I think it's a modern classic. We take delivery Saturday.

Pugwash Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Speaking of butt ugly cars... yes, this is Aston Martin. And no, it's not a hearse. Ooh, a Lagonda estate.

By-Tor Posted September 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 @Pugs: That's not an ugly car at all. It's actually very cool. THIS is an ugly car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 @Pugs: That's not an ugly car at all. It's actually very cool. I agree with you that the PT Cruiser is cool, but it's a very divisive car. Some people think they're hideous. No-one is neutral about them. THIS is an ugly car. Yeah, but they were popular. This one was less popular and was at the time considered cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pugwash Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 The older Bond 3-wheeler is possibly one of the most aesthetically wrong designs I've seen. Everything is the wrong size and ratio. You started the car by climbing into the bonnet and using the kickstart. I honestly can't stop laughing at it.

Guest avitt Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 AMC Gremlin must be among the ugliest too. It's an experiment gone terribly wrong. My sister had a nice, orange one when I was in high school...Sometimes, I even got to borrow it ...That was character building! When it comes to ugly marques, I don't think any can hold a candle to AMC Just think of all their wonderful models...the Javelin, Hornet, Pacer, Matador ("That's a Matador!"), Gremlin... But my vote for all time ugliest production car has to go to the infamous Pontiac Aztek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted September 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 Yeah I hear that Aztek mentioned a lot, but I don't see that. It's not aesthetically pleasing but doesn't even compare to cars like Fiat Multipla. If this is not an ugly car then I don't know what is. Late 70's Ford Mustang deserves mention too. What a horrible way to tarnish the legendary Mustang image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
