A car is more than just a way to get from point A to point B, it's a reflection of you as a person. Therefore, people put a lot of time and effort into making sure their automobiles look just right. And some of those people are rednecks. Thanks to Reader Sean I. for sending in one of the pics and spawning the idea for a gallery.
People make fun of this shit, but I'd wager than some of these "mods" are well beyond the creative and practical skill of most of the above posters. The AC/generator mod is the frickin cool. Probably easier and cost far less than retro-fitting that old Lincoln with AC, too, if you could even find a shop willing to do it.
So obviously PHOTOSHOPPED. I can totally see PIXELS, man. I've totally SEEN a bazillion pics just like these--all PHOTOSHOPPED with PIXELS all over the place from PHOTOSHOPPING. Teh nOObs may not see it, but I am not a nOOb and I can see it is a PHOTOSHOP expeshially because of the PIXELS!
Actually, the M-class mercedes with its sophisticated traction control system works fine off road. Basically, at low speed whatever wheel has the traction gets the power.
Similarly, louvers close to keep water out of the engine compartment-- MB guarantees fording 20'' of water, but two feet is possible. Replace the street tires with off-roads and the limiting factors are the relatively low ground clearance (for an orv) and your tolerance for body damage from flying rocks.
the ac with the generator on the back of the old lincoln was creative.. i have driven lincolns for years off and on (when a good deal comes along) and never thought to rig the ac quite like that... would love to see how they deal with the rusted out leaking heater core that inevitably happens on those old cars..
lol... have him look me up and i can tell him some pretty cool ideas bout how to bypass it so the antifreeze dont cloud the front window hahahahah
the last one with the wooden body kit is so awesome!! It would probably take a few curb jobs better than the legit kit as well. Maybe the guy built it as a starter body kit for his kid or wife so they wouldn't f#$% up the real kit? Or they just might be a redneck HAHAHA
You know what's sad? The immense amount of talent needed to craft the wood trim on that last picture could be so easily applied to a well-paying job and buying the real stuff that wont make you look like an idiot.

I'm wondering how fast you need to go for your wooden spoiler to go flying off the car and hit the windshield of the guy behind you...

Tater, I was thinking the same thing. It's a shame, like a pro athlete, all the talent in the world won't make up for the fact that you're an idiot.

I like the House-Truck with the handicap sign.
It says, not only am I a crip.... my mental ability is shot to hell as well.

I wonder how fast the Mustang goes.

I never thought you could go off-roading in a Benz until now.
