There were a few guys doing it to their Chrysler 200's on the owners forum I found, not fond of how it looks on the 200.

People and their hobbies....
Joe Handley replied to FASTBACK340's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
There are some areas that is illegal, can't remember if it happened here in the Chicago burbs or not, but there was a woman that died the hair on her poodle pink with beet juice as a breast cancer awareness thing (she may have been a survivor as well as had freinds that also were) and her community had a law that specifically made that a fineable offence! Apparently they had issues with rwsidents trapping rabbits, dieing them in Easter type colors, then turning them loose afterwards so they city had a law against it for any and all animals ?!?!?! -
Ever use Monokote?
Joe Handley replied to Modlbldr's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
If you want to try Monocote, look at their Trim Tape line instead. It's self adheasive and comes in 6"x36" strips and is about the same thickness. I've ised the Chrome on some R/C truck bodies and it does not like compound curves what so ever! If you were going to make chrome trim and cut the shape out of it (say Buick sidetrim for a leadsled for example) it won't like to be made to curve, so you have to cut that shape out instead of trying to form a strip to the radius you want. -
I don't think that transaxle could handle the power of a V-8, don't count that 3.5l out though, especially the later one! My kid sister's '06 Charger has a variation of that one and for a big heavy car, it gets up and goes pretty good. My 4.0l Cherokee can get it off the line (it is a bigger, torquier, I-6 in a lighter 4wd truck....shouldn't be a shock), but once the two hit 45, that Charger is gone. Not sure how those compare to my Pentastar equipped 200.......seriously doubt that either will stand a snowballs chance against it

If that is something he actually said, I wonder if he wasn't being funny, the man is a comedian after all. The fake Zombie bit in Zombieland didn't seem to off of what he would do either -

How not to drive a Lambo
Joe Handley replied to martinfan5's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Welcome to driving in the Chicago area guys, where money only buys you a fancier car to crash! Harry, why is we live around here again? -
Depends on the individual car. If the car was built to be streetable, I would definately drive a lowrider or show rod over one of those cars with 20° of negative camber. Those things just look like a rolling tire shredder, so long as the lowrider or rod is built correctly, that shouldn't be as big of a problem.

Considering the original GTO was built on the Tempest then Lemans, those were basically that era's equivalent to the Sunfire and the next was the equivalent of the Grand Am both with the big Bonneville engines.....can you imagine the ruckus that would have been raised if Pontiac followed the original formula and had done the newer GTO as a Sunfire or Grand Am with the supercharged 3800 instead!

So long as he's legally on private property (as in it's his parents ranch) it shouldn't matter.

This ain't your father's Amphicar!
Joe Handley replied to Harry P.'s topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Once you ditch the bikes, those side pods would work well to hide those! Should paint it green and add an Agent P vanity plate to it -
I'm assuming that bubble the top is a fly deck? Which end is the front or does that bubble move from one end to the other so you can come or go as you please?
