These are hilarious. The bride and groom decided to go in these smart cars to their wedding ceremony. ;D  |

Interesting. The groom's car is a 'tuned' one - if you look, it has a Mercedes badge on the front instead of a Smart badge. This means it has probably been worked over by either AMG or Brabus (yes, they do attempt their magic on Smarts, and I've seen both on the road). They can't really make it faster because the body shape doesn't really lend itself to speed, though apparently they improve the handling and make a bit sportier.
Which all makes it even more ridiculous ;D

I really must wonder. Will the couple look back at the photos one day and feel as silly as they look today.

I've seen that thing in the metal. TKO seem to specialise in ruining perfectly good (or in the case of that Escalade, already sufficiently blingy, if nothing else) cars. They've done terrible, terrible things for people with more money than sense (and taste). It is awful beyond belief, and also very hard to photograph under artificial light. They've similarly mutilated a Lamborghini Gallardo, the halfwits. Perhaps someone should trying gold-plating the people that run TKO, see how much better they look for being given the Pussy Galore treatment...

I realize this is not the worst car in the world, nor the worst paint job. But it was rather ironic. If the person who owns this car loves the earth and ecology of said planet so very much, why can they not choose a better car for the rest of us to enjoy. A very purple P.T. Cruiser. Ick!  Sorry about the size of that photo. |

The PT and FJ Cruisers-UGLY! In my family we call them Jokermobiles-it's exactly the kind of thing you'd expect to see the Joker driving.
I always thought the Lotus Elise was the ugliest thing I have ever seen.

A lot of those are dreadful, but I have a soft spot for the Fiat Multipla even though it looks like a squashed frog, and I'd seriously consider buying a Nissan Cube if I had the money for a car at the moment! Pssst... don't believe everything you read - Jeremy's more environmentally aware than he lets on (not to worry Jez, I won't tell anyone about your organic land, your vegetable garden or your keen ornithology...)  |

I haven't heard anything about that recycling place being moved near him either. Did you go yesterday?

The Pontiac Aztek is the spawn of Satan.  I was nearly hit by a big ugly beige one the other day. If I'm gonna get hit by a car, at least let it be one that isn't so hideous. |

The back end looks a bit like Tom's face when Jerry smashes him with a frying pan and it goes flat.

The front of it is almost as gross as the back. Those ugly double headlights!  And then....there was the option to get it with a pop out tent in the back. I'm not even joking.  |

You know in the old days, when people got syphilis and they ended up with great big holes in their faces?
Yeah, that.

This car appears to be pre-crashed. As for that tent extension, I reckon you could run one up yourself with a couple of bin bags and a length of knicker elastic. |

Bloody big knickers. Passion-killers, definitely!

This is where Pontiac got the idea. This is a Cosworth Vega, made by Chevrolet with a Cosworth-designed high performance engine back in the early 70's. The restored ones are gorgeous, although it's rare now to find one with an intact tent. Definitely does not belong in Hell's Garage.   |

Bloody big knickers. Passion-killers, definitely! Ha! Pretty sure I could oblige. However good the car, I can't imagine those nylon bags deliver the best of camping experiences. One slip up with the Gaz stove and...boom! You're walking home. |

I actually don't see quite how you would use the tent-thing, especially with the Chevrolet. I assume you lift the back hatch then attach the tent, but what good is that? Surely not to sleep in - you would effectively be sleeping in the boot.
Unless it's just some sort of protective awning/windbreak to protect you while you're watching your kid playing rugby/riding pony at gymkhana/at the beach on a chilly day and you drink coffee or soup to keep you warm? Or am I missing something here?

The Cosworth Vega was a 2+2 with a small rear seat. Even with the hatch open and tent in place, there wasn't much room back there. It could just about keep your lunch dry during a rainy picnic. Nowadays, they do make tents for SUV's that are actually functional (still looks a bit like bloomers, though).   |

I prefer to keep the tent and car separate entities so I can drive off to a hotel should I feel the need. ;D

My Little Pony?!  This one  This one is local to my area...one day I shall track the owner down and if the car is ever for sale, it's mine ;D ;D Aww that's really adorable. I am biased as I have a (granted, much smaller) My Little Pony sticker on my car. Anyway, ugly cars...I stopped by the store the other day and saw one of these in the parking lot...  Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet, a convertible SUV. It was odd to see one out in the wild, because they sold so few of them! |

However, I'd rather see an ugly car with people in it that care for our environment than a pretty car with people -like Jeremy- in it that don't care for our earth.
