Overheating Problem: Solved!
Bick66
With its oversized radiator and hand-cut air-intake slot, I’m sure that this Honda Civic is now running nice and cool. But at what cost? The obviously psycho aesthetic touches, like the later-model bumper slapped on with external fasteners and the weird hand-painted dinosaur teeth and lightning-bolt detail around the trim, identify this almost certainly as a tweaker car.

Dragon Corvette Is Getting A Procharger
By Jen Dunnaway

Yep, a forum-dweller at ChallengerForumz just happened to spy Evansville, Indiana’s most tastefully embellished C6 Corvette in the shop getting a Procharger blower installed. If this is true, then the ‘Vette isn’t just someone’s throwaway hooptie after all–Procharger kits start at around $6500 retail, and if you’re having it installed in a shop you’re forking out even more. The supercharger should bring the C6 into the 600hp range, making its owner possibly the world’s fastest meth addict. But wait, I thought meth addicts spent all their money on… meth? I’m going to have to amend my diagnosis to schizophrenia, which would account for both the bizarre exterior mods and the grandiose performance upgrades. Follow the jump to view the incriminating photos, via Jalopnik.

Tweaker Corvette: The “Dragon”

Jalopnik says, “this reminds us of when we let our kid cousin try and use the Microsoft Paint-like tool on Forza to tart up in-game vehicles.” Me, I just blame the meth addiction. Hit the jump to see the rest of it, via Jalopnik.

Total Tweaker Car
By Jen Dunnaway

I don’t know who to feel more sorry for: the 2nd-gen Camaro, or the C4 Corvette. It’s a Brundlefly-like merger that might’ve even been cool if it had been done right, though I’m not sure I even know what “right” would’ve looked like–the proportions of the two donor cars are just too fundamentally incompatible to make this Franken-marriage work. The result kind of reminds me of one of those freakishly overbred lap-dogs with the massive heads. I don’t want to rain on anyone’s riff, and if I were a more tactful person, I’d just chalk this up as a work-in-progress. But clearly, what happened here was that someone got way too high one night and decided to break out the blowtorch and the adhesive silver mylar. The gauge taped to the outside of the windshield is a nice touch. More grisly carnage and psychadelic fiberglass bodywork below the jump.
