Anyone that takes this seriously needs to step back and think about it for a minute.

If I had to guess, this guy has a sh*t-ton of cash and this is a "harass people" ride. He's an attention whore and likes to torment people who have nothing better to do than disparage his ride.

Another guess is he has a pristine, new Porsche GT2, ZR1, and several other bada** rides back at his mansion that are in perfect, unmolested shape.

This car is to piss people off and it obviously is successful at that.

The question is did he do this to a pristine vehicle or buy a salvage with heavy body damage, slap on lots of boneyard body parts in different paint colors and then do this to cover it up?

Given the multitude of colors on the car I bet its not all original body panels.

It's an '05 C6, so first year. I'm sure it was pretty rough to begin with, so he probably paid low $20's, if that, for the car. Probably less..

It's a worthy car for him to molest it

Regardless of the intent, it hurts my eyes. I don't think it is so much the disgusting color combo or the crap glued to the hood and elswhere so much as it is the execution. Over-spray, things not lining up, crooked letters. It kind of says "I know it looks dumb, what do you expect, I just threw it together." instead of "I am dead serious about looking dumb, look at how straight those stripes are."

Or he lost a bet and his friends are responsible for this thing.

Check the other pics here. It looks like it was a typical red C6
