Tasteful Modding?
I don't know what the owner was thinking, not to mention the guys who actually made this. There's also a link to the whole setup for the not so faint hearted.

I hope the $0.99 green button to the left of the steering wheel engages the self-destruct sequence.

IDK...Cali and some parts of Miami have some "extreme" modding......plus I don't know how prevalent Wal-Mart is in Europe.

Don't think so. Most of the tasteless cars I ve seen were in the US.
Don't need to go far. Just watch the pimp my ride show: the goal is to put as many TVs to as many places and color them in the whole spectrum of colors.
