    Whew, I'm glad you posted this before I wasted all my money turning a Ford Aerostar into ARK II.

    @SundaySunday: I've always kinda wanted to get a panel version and make a space shuttle out of it.


    Come to think of it, I bet someone could find one for a few hundred bucks and run it in LeMons.


    Hmm.

    somewhere on skywalker ranch, George is tightening the knot around his neck and about to jump off the table.

    @monsterajr: Actually, he's probably calling his lawyers readying a lawsuit for infringement and working on an air-brushed Cobalt depicting scenes envisioned for the original Cobalt but too complex for the technology at the time.

    Sheboygan = Wisconsin

    Cheboygan = Michigan


    (aside: Michigan has enough problems right now WITHOUT this car being in it.)

    Just a couple of observations.


    1. If you custom paint any car or motorcycle, specially with a "theme", you will never recoup your losses unless the entire Alltel van crew show up magically at your house.


    2. I personally don't have anything against Cobalts, I think they're okay little cars (since I own a Delta platform I have to say that). But this is by far the ugliest one I've ever seen. Putting that kind of money into a base Cobalt is pretty effin' goofy.

    @mytdawg:


    I don't think it's a base - looking at the photos there are letters that I can't make out. I imagine LS.


    But seriously, you go to all that effort on the paint job, but you have steel wheels with hubcaps, no fog lights (I don't know, I've got a thing about fog lights), and no semblance of a body kit.

    @Spekkio: Well no, the lack of body kit is a good thing, but come on, put some proper wheels on. Or pull off the hubcaps and paint the steelies, at least.

    BTW - When we used to drive up for the races at Elkhart Lake, we'd always stop at the Sheboygan County Meat Market (really) and buy like 30 pounds of bratwurst. The best around! Made by a real German person!

    You know, I was going to try and defend this guy, because of all the time it took to produce this one of a kind, uhhhh, piece of art. However, after reading some of the comments, I decided to go back and read the ad.


    Forget it. This guy is living in another world (preferably in a galaxy far far away). I'm through trying to defend him.

    My question is - with all the time and money this guy must have to re-do his whole car into starwars paint... he couldnt even get a cool license plate??!! Perhaps:

    @idesigner: A couple guys I knew had another definition of "Kessel run", one which involved driving to the Super Wal-Mart and purchasing a mildly suspicious quantity of Robitussin.

    What a steaming pile of Bantha poodoo. This is worse than kissing your sister. Worse than getting squashed in a trash-compactor. Worse than finding out your dad isn't James Earl Jones, but a whiny little bitch who couldn't keep his limbs on.


    I'll say it: this is worse than Jar Jar Binks.

    'It's a Cobalt, so no real harm was done.' That's what I was going to say. Then I looked at all those pictures. I fully expect Lord Vader to rip through the fabric of Space-Time and crush this with his gloved hand, as soon as he gets back from lunch. Might not want to be nearby when that happens.

    I suppose I just take issue with anyone who wants another person to part with many thousands of dollars, but can't even be bothered to:


    1. Use a spellchecker (we're not talking simple homophone mistakes)
    2. Show it to someone else
    3. Put effort into the ad commensurate with 0.001% of the time/effort that went into creating the car


    Sorry to go all Lewis Black there, it's been a rough day.
