Dang that looks good. I'm the kind of car person that says "that car looks good" and then happily drives my completely stock Subaru to the grocery store. But if I had all the money in the world, I'd pick up a couple neat cars. At one time I loved the 1940s fat fenders, but lately it's the late '60s Mercedes Benzes that turn my head.

I can really appreciate a sort of ho-hum car turned into a rad car like this.

I used to go to car shows and cars and coffee a lot. These past two summers have not been my luck though. McLarens and Bentleys and what have you are all a normal part, but they never get me excited because A) I know I could never own one and B) usually they're completely stock and that can be kind of boring. What I love is when people get creative and it's often a joy to see. I have seen some crazy cool custom cars and it's amazing what someone can do with something that's very pedestrian. When you pass by a Toyota Echo or a Cavalier Wagon that subconsciously turns your head, you know you have something cool. Cause seriously, there's nothing cool about those cars stock.
