    Wow what a waste of money IMO ! can’t even imagine watching the tv on the hubcaps, they’d be spinning!! BTW what is that in the first picture, is that a tv built into the door? icon_eek.gif

    Nah, just graphics. However it wouldn’t surprise me if someone decides to incorporate a video screen into the large rear wings just so people behind them at the red light can watch what they are watching.

    It use to be that a show car is something with alot of chrome under the hood and making 450 horsepower or better. Now it’s all about the video screens, the woofers and the stickers. Very sad day indeed.

    Yeah I agree now its all about adding a beefed up stereo system with the biggest subwoofer you can find, and that makes the car special. The body styling, horsepower, none of that matters anymore. crybaby2.gif

    Now you can watch TV if you get someone to dangle you out of the window on the interstate. Drogar-Laugh(LBG).gif

    Its the ultimate cure for road rage (in your car anyway)! Now you can throw people out the windows and they can’t complain because they get to watch tv! Drogar-Laugh(LBG).gif :haha:

    I remember an article a couple of years ago about some guy with more money than sense wanted to see how many DVD screens he could install in his car. He had them everywhere – it was some insane number by the time he was done. Several in each door, visors, back of the seats – something like 70 or 80 icon_rolleyes.gif

    Does anyone else remember that article? I think he had a Chrysler.

    While I do like the look of the car… the monitor’s on the wheels? Impractical. Even for showing reasons, I think it doesn’t look that nice.

    I see a lot of cars that I would be embarrassed to drive. What happened to a shiny car, high-quality (instead of high-volume) sound system, as many horses under the bonnet as possible and some driving prowess?

    Body kits and all that sort of crap do nothing except for the driver – seems to add at least 50BHP for them…

    Exactly! I don’t really understand the Honda Element, no offense to anyone that owns one. 😉

    No Effense:

    Isn’t that a crash car?
