Ridelust Review: 2013 BMW X6 M
Chip Foose, Steve Strope, Troy Trepanier and the late Boyd Coddington, are and were considered to be some of the best hot-rodders and custom car makers in the business. Their vehicles are generally considered to be works of art, with their attention to detail being second to none. I’ve seen some of their creations in person and can safely say that these guys are the best at what they do. But what about everyone else; I mean how do civilians in the custom car world make it on their own? I’ve built two custom cars in the last six years, so I can tell you from experience that it’s no easy task. I have to confess that this article has nothing to do with the names mentioned above, good looking cars or actual customizing talent. In fact every one of the machines that you see below looks to have been put together with duct tape, vinyl siding and bailing wire. Oh, and lets not forget the bondo, lots and lots of bondo…
• 1986 called, they want their parachute pants back.
• Chicken wire grille is understated yet functional.
• Something tells me this guy is a blast at parties.
• Check out the Yugo in the middle – Bitchin’.
• Where did his left sleeve go?
• That is the teeniest, tiniest trophy I’ve ever seen… poor bastard.
• How cool, it’s got a landau top!
• Jumbo better grease himself up if he plans on getting back in that roller skate.
• Hello, my name is Dieter and I won a trophy that I will treasure forever.
• It’s all about the bondo.
• Check out the “Angels of the Road” windshield decal… nice.
• YEEEEAH BITCHES!!!!!
• Got wood?
• No really, rubber cement is what everyone uses to hold their hood scoops on.
• This poor Citroen is going to need months and months of therapy after having that thing planted on his face.
• Yeah, it’s got a HEMI… wanna’ fight about it?
• No doubt about it, this guy has the greatest hair on the list.
• Apparently she’s a “Street Fucker” – her mother must be so proud.
• Back Street Boy fan perhaps?
• Because every cool car needs at least two rear spoilers.
• Dig the sheet metal front spoiler.
• WTF? Is this guy smuggling plums or something?
• Umm… I have no words.
• I wonder if the drapes match the curtains.
• Does this car make me look fat?
• Ground clearance, we don’t need no stinkin’ ground clearance!!
• Chicks dig the car…

I wish those could be unseen. =(
Seconded.
Third.
This article discribes why i only visit american muscle meetings in holland/europe…
The other tuning events are just a lot of tupperware show and no go.. Chickenwire grills, fartcan exhausts and oversized spoilers and bumpers.. Poor cars..
while i agree that the cars above are mindblowingly bad (accept the mopedcar that one is so bad i kinda like it). most custom cars in europe arent that bad now that the worst part of the f&f thing has blown over. you still se some hideous cases of plastic pudding covered peugeots but they are becoming more and more rare.
best wishes a swede
Okay………..seriously with the lead in pic, how the HELL do you expect us to sleep at night after seeing that????
Chicken wire – Prolly using food stamps to put the car together.
Tiny trophy – Nope, that’s the kick stand.
Citroen – DO NOT try to imitate the Spirit Of Ecstasy when it is perfectly clear that you just don’t have what it takes.
Orange flames – Is that Vanilla Ice??
Euro suburban – Same as the lead in pic.
Orange Lambo doors – All those fangs hanging off the front end have got to make some hellish noise and probably does some funky shit with the aerodynamics.
Pink Vette – Paris Hilton, trailer trash style.
Ground clearance – It’s gotta be like that, he’s a street sweeper.
LOL! I knew that lead pic would get you guys…
Some really fun photos here.
That being said, the first one is actually me. And, I’m proud to say that there’s not a scrap of bondo or duct tape anywhere on it. 
I’m glad that I was able to help make your article a success. Cheers!
the one bout the 2 spoilers? only has 1 thats custom deck lid that lays flat after you pop it…
The fun part is, trying to determine what these poor things were BEFORE they got molested by fiberglass and bondo.
That being said, I think my first car would have fit in just fine on this list. My excuse is I was your, stupid, and it was 2002. Thank goodness I developed taste (well, that could be debatable by some). Fun list!

(Sorry if this double posts my browser sucks)
That is hilarious! It still amazes me what some people consider a cool looking car.
