Best place for it! From the thread:Some troubled soul accosted a Pontiac Sunfire with lumber and plaster for this junkyard-bound "Lamborghini Murcielago." Believe us when we say this horror show raises the bar on fake super cars in every way imaginable. We dub thee the Flim-Flamborghini

I bet Whelan can buff that out and have it looking good as new.

Oh man! I've seen a couple of these wannabe super cars around town and it never fails to crack me up. Even if the body kit were to fool me, the pathetic revving of the old Fiero engine is a dead giveaway that this isn't a $100,000 sports car. I'd bet my Vibe that there's a direct correlation between the owners of these poser cars and their tiny trouser snakes.

Bonus! Quite a tasteful modification! Very stealth, you'd never know it wasn't the real thing! I wonder how much weight all that added? I'm sure it was a real screamer, back when it ran.

Makes me proud to be a Quebecer. If I had that much spare time I'd be a happy monkey.

I don't see any wheels, hubs or much of anything left, just the crappy plywood and body filler shell.

That travesty on that Sunfire looks like it had about 3 inches of plywood screwed onto it's skin
