I've seen this car drifting around town from time to time, but I've never seen it parked so I could snap a picture of it. Finally got it the other day... I submit for your amusement, the Rivimino Poke Tounge

RiviMino (if the image doesn't show up in post)


It's a Buick Riviera with the trunk replaced with an aluminum bed-ish thing Poke Tounge

Yeah, I know... it doesn't give you any extra space to store stuff... it's too short... what's the point?

I was orriginally going to post it in the hall of shame... but, I thought it deserved it's own thread Poke Tounge

Is there a point to that, or did they think it'd look cool without a trunk lid..

I'm willing to bet that something heavy fell on the back end or he backed up underneath something that smashed the sheetmetal from the bumper up...and he didn't have the money to repair it. I see no reason for it though...that suspension can't handle anything heavy. But, on the other hand, I had a Riviera, and they do have a gawd awlful butt ugly rearend anyways. Laugh

I don't know who Coleman is but I bet he's embarrassed. Shocked

No no no...your confused! It's a kit made by Coleman...you know the company that makes camping equipment. That's the firewood collection basket kit...I remember seeing it at Cabela's...right next to the kit that turns your GM 3.8 motor into a log spliter. Geez you guys need to get out and shop at those manly stores more often...they got some really nice stuff there!

Somebody please call U.S. Senator Norm Coleman's office so they can go out and remove his bumper sticker from that atrocity! OMG is it ugly!

i think the coolest thing about this car is the license plate, VVV-VVV... no wait... why get a custom plate like that, never mind!

I think i'd find me a nice Halloween mask if i had to drive that around.
