They do it because they own it. They do it because they used there money to purchase the car.
We all can build our cars as we like. Some just cant understand that. Some get praise and some get scorned.
STOP POTATO HATE!

Mr. Norms Garage is to blame, we started doing it first. Besides they made 775,675 Challengers between 2008 and 2024. And they are a modern car that probably half will be totaled by 2025...  Here is a picture of me driving it up to the Barrett-Jackson block to lose money on...

The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

I've seen WAY worse than the green car or the yellow one. To my eye, the flares on the green one fight the rest of the body lines. Aesthetic sense isn't common, and to an extent it's subjective, but as the saying goes, "beauty is in the eye of the beer-holder"...or something... So, as the World Authority on such matters...

The flares kill it for me too, of course I haven't liked the widebody look on anything. At least we removed the Challenger bump and made ours look more like a 'Cuda...

The green one looks a bit like one of those AI drawings to me. They are getting harder to spot but it just has that look about it. The reflections look weird. Have you seen this car in real life? Have you seen all the "cars" in this article? https://www.motortrend.com/features/ai-generated-classic-muscle-cars-that-never-existed/I know it's hard to believe, but just because you saw it on the internet don't make it true.

It looks like it was shortened with photoshop. Looks pudgy.....  However, any of these 'Cuda bastardizations look better to me than the Superbird/Daytona things someone made......

They do it because they own it. They do it because they used there money to purchase the car.
We all can build our cars as we like. Some just cant understand that. Some get praise and some get scorned.
Exactly, the real crime happening here is people that whine and moan about what others do with their own property and money. Don't like it? No one is telling you that you have to do it, but boy oh boy are you wanting to tell them they can't.Stick in your own lane and mind your own business.
