Watched it earlier, and I must say, it can't do a burnout but it can certainly get around the damn bush with ease...!

They didn't do enough damage to it.
Oh, and Prasac posted that in here earlier. Thread got locked by a mod and he was told to post videos in the video section..... |

Agreed, they just drove it through grass & touched a couple of trees, hardly killing it. Ive seen people that have done more damage than that in shopping center carparks without trying. If I had a day to kill it in a paddock full of trees it would have been missing more that just the front bumper ( & that came off on the trailer). |

Truly a hideous creation.
Agreed, they babied it through the bush. There should have nothing left of that monstrosity of a body kit after the first outing.

Yeah they're going to take a long while of beautiful pleasure destroying this vehicle. I didn't know it had already been posted, my bad - but this vehicle is that widely known and disliked that surely its destruction warrants its own thread?!
They should get Supercheap auto involved as a part of their commerical series with whats-his-name haha I'd love to see the final destruction of this car during the next V8SC race!

All you guys that claim to have seen this car out and about - did you see the driver, what did he look like? (i.e. did he always cover his face, lol)

Forget the flame suit, im going to have to go to another part of the universe before saying this...
In my own opinion, I find nothing wrong with the look of this model Taurus. HOWEVER, like all r.i.c.e vehicles this particular example is simply awful. The fibreglass strapped to it has made a nice looking Ford look like an abomination to all things Automotive. I dont like to see a Ford get destroyed. I wouldve preferred them to save this poor vehicle from its clinically insane owner, and turned it into something neat and clean. |

I hate the flared wheel arches, and there looks top be around 2 feet of clearance between the actual wheel and the end of the arch. That hideous thing has more flares than a Beegee's concert.
Maybe some 845/10/R20's would make it look better.

For those of you that would prefer to see it "rescued", you had your chance to do this yourselves when it was listed on eBay but nobody took it.
PF has it now and it is never coming back. Wait until you see what the final plans for it are

Every time I see one, I throw up a bit in my mouth!

only plowing this thing into the power of 5 burning arabian suns would convince me it would not return and allow me to sleep easy at night
