"Weekend Cars" On The Way Out?

Ben Wojdyla — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 14:20:00 EDT

Every day seems to bring more doom and gloom for the American public. With everything made of oil skyrocketing, food getting pricier, houses going down and movies like Indiana Jones in theaters, there is little to encourage fun car purchases. Business Week is wondering openly about the future of "weekend cars" — convertibles, two-door coupes and other impractical but generally delightful machinery. They think cars like the BMW 6-Series, Mercedes-Benz CLK, and even the beloved Chevy Corvette are doomed to disappear. Though our rational mind says 'probably,' the rest of it says 'Noooooo!'

BMW 6-Series De- or Super-Uglified, You Be The Judge

After the spectacular body work and 30-inch kicks on that Mercedes CL the other day, we didn't think modified German steel could get any more extravagant. However, today the sun rose anew and provided for us a refreshed challenge to the sensibilities. Tuning house Lithuanian National (which we can only assume is a front for blue jeans trafficking) has decided to show up their entry into the realm of super-mod schteel. This gives that CL a run for it's money, but we're not sure quite what to make of it. What does that mean? Poll time.

So, in a battle of epic modifying wills, who runs the show here? The CL has got serious craziness going on, but this Bimmer, at certain angles, actually looks pretty hot...particularly in light of the devilish license plate. What say you, fine peoples?

Would Car Nutz Customs Be Illegal In Florida?

With all the hullabaloo over Truck Nutz it's a wonder the folks at Car Nutz Customs haven't taken a cue and changed their name a bit. True, they don't specialize at installing chrome dangly bits on '71 Impalas, but with Florida legislators rebelling against all things Nutz, you'd think they might just consider it. That being said, Car Nutz Customs (CNC in brief) actually does some nice work if you're into the whole big rims and crazy stereo with a clean install kind of thing. Unfortunately they aren't into big pictures of their cars. Enjoy the tiiiiiiny gallery of their work.
