Too much time and money? They should have bought some class instead, doh! you can't buy that

Key points I picked-up from the article...
  • "Generally speaking, the goal of modifying a car is to either A) make it go faster or make it look better... they had accomplished neither."
  • "Prius-trocity"
  • "whacked out"
  • "impossible"
  • "honkin'"
  • "fart-can"
  • "Nice"

See what I find funny is they do all those mods and leave off xenon headlights.

Un-freakin-believable! Just think of the kind of car/cars you could have for $184K? Like, say, a new M5 AND an M3 with a little left over for mods--and that's just in the Bimmer world. The possibilities are endless. Uggghhh!
