is this more like it?

I admit, I got it wrong with the Shelby Ultimate being the new Bugazzi. Something about the $740k price and the predictability (unoriginality) of it made me pull the trigger too fast. This better?

    When did Paris Hilton start driving monster trucks? That thing makes a regular H2 look practical.

    I am always amazed by what people will do with cars.  Has to be the ugliest hummer I have ever seen.

    God I hope that thing is at least pink cause they auctioned it off for breast cancer research.

    I love the front skid plate. In case you happen upon a boulder so large that it will completely tear your undercarriage off, at least your oil pan will still be intact.

    Yes- it is.  WTF?  I mean, if they’d painted it any other color they may’ve been able to sell it to a redneck that just won the lottery, or maybe a rapper…but PINK?!
    However, in the 70’s, I have to wonder if the Bugazzi might’ve passed for tasteful?  I was trying to look up a picture of a 1970’s Chrysler concept car I saw years ago that was said to look like “a rich man’s car”.  It was a 4-cyl Malaise box, but had things like external spare tires, external exhaust headers, etc. to make it look like a 1920’s Dusenberg or Mercedes.  But, it looked a lot like a Bugazzi.  Can anyone remember what Chrysler I’m talking about?  Did the Bugazzi look up scale and classy in the 70’s?

    I think the menopausal Mary Kay lady who owns that thing should have a talk with her doctor.   Seems something has gone seriously wrong with her hormone replacement therapy.

    Well, it certainly left me speechless.
     
    Anyone want to make an estimate on the number of speakers/subs inside?

    This is what happens when Barbie wants to go rock crawing and take a few of her newest BFF’s with her.

    No, I don’t think its the Bugazzi of 2046.   The Bugazzi was pretending to be a latter day Bugatti/Duesenberg/Cord in an age of polyester leisure suits and disco balls.  The pink monster is outrageous, but it isn’t pretentious.  Perhaps a difference without a distinction, but the people who built the Bugazzi were serious, anyone who paints an H-2 isn’t concerned with being taken seriously.

    IFS lifts like this always give me a good laugh. The gain is only in the height of center-of-gravity, not at all in articulation or useful ground clearance.
     
    For those of you unaware, Google “scary steering,” and give yourself an hour to be amazed at what people do to their trucks.

    The spoiled rotten bitch that would  own that believe or not, would be more vulgar than the Hummer itself, and your chance of getting a hummer from her ,would cost you about as much as the real one.

    You may be thinking about the Excalibur?

      No- this was a FACTORY concept car- not a kit, and not production.  I want to say Chrysler, but I’m not 100% sure.  I saw it in an old magazine, and they said the goal was to make an affordable 4-cyl that looks like “a rich man’s car”.  I did some searching, but can’t find.  Probably one of those things the mfr. tries to erase from existence.  It was smaller than the Excalibur, and SLIGHTLY more modern looking (e.g. no chrome leaf spring bumpers…don’t remember if it had running boards and an external horn), but the Excalibur isn’t too far off the mark.  I really want to find it now!

    Ok, ok.  I am openly bisexual now, I have an avatar of a cute Hik (aru) bunny girl who has a huge missile and when I was a younger boy I referred to myself as “pink man.”  In early pictures I sometimes look like an androgynous girl and the man at the grocery store calls me “Miss Hareis.”
    But even I would not drive that Hummer!!  It’s just too much!!  argh!  Subtle, please.  More subtle, PLEASE!!  lol lol How about the idea of stealth?!

      Sorry, stealth is a light grey minivan with a soft coating of dust going 90 to a 100mph down the interstate in the western part of the United States.  You should try it sometime, you’ll be invisible to cops.

      (Total aside to you, ConejoZing: I’m glad I don’t hear people on TTAC using gender or sexual orientation as put downs, the beauty of a well moderated comments section.  I’m glad we have room for everybody editors.)

      Welcome to the USA, where if a lot is good, then too much is even better. 

      I still like the notion that is might belong to a Mary Kay salesperson making their living in King Salmon Alaska.
