Default Wanna know how to stand out...

... do this.

FRONT


REAR


3/4 SIDE ON


When fiery was up on the Coast last weekend, I was telling her about this ute that had decals all over it, painted rims and generally looked like vomit. When we heading back to my ute, there it was, and stupid me, yelling out at the top of my voice that this was it, not realising that the owner was standing right next to the car. He had some thick European accent, so that could explain why he's done it.

He also left the window on the drivers side down in a shopping complex, and when we got back from mapping out the cruise we're having up here, it was still down.

Just remember that every time someone destroys a once perfectly good ford like this, some poor bastard misses out on the ford experience. A moments silence please :

That's what I thought too, but because I see it repeatedly, those decals are now wrong as well.

He would have been better off buying a pack of adult nappies, taking a dump in all of them and stapling them to his car.

Would have been a far more legitimate statement.

I dont mind the rims that much personally, If he had those, no decals and he did a much more subtle job of the highlighting (not that *****house blue enerywhere) It might have had a chance.
