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.


Heh, I spliced that out for them... didn't want you guys tracking them down and bludgeoning them over this Poke Tounge But, for the record, it really does say Rivimino on it, that's /not/ photoshopping XD

[quite="theelcaminofactory"]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[/quote]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking... tubes of aluminum are much cheaper than a new trunk and fenders... But, for whatever reason, you must admit, that for what it is, it's very well fabricated... it fits the body lines really well...

Ya know i get to looking at that a bit more, there's a lot of dead space in that car, under the custom fab aluminum trunk "bed" and between the back seats and the "bed"

Look again... looks like a door with a piano hinge where the "Rivimino" is printed. This thing may be scary ugly but someone put a lot of work into it.

I guess i didn't study it over very well then, i must've been distracted by.... anything. lol, it's one of those things, you just cant help but focus on the most horrible part of the car, everything else is just kinda fuzzy.

Yep, that's what I was saying... It really is ugly, but it is very well made for what it is...
