To each there own. I see a lot of cars that I don't like the look of or the whole concept, but I always take a second look and decide to determine if the guy was at least trying to do good work. I really do try to see the good in everyone's car, though its hard some times.
There was this guy way back when I ran a race parts store, who had a Gremlin. It was his car and he loved it, but what he really wanted was a 4WD truck so he converted his Gremlin into a look alike. He raised the suspension, kept it 2WD, added Thrush Truck stacks to the back sides vertically, added a bug deflector, checker plate aluminum running boards, Steel wheels with Mudders, huge mud flaps, external sunvisor, Huge CB Radio whip antenna wrapped around to the front and all the little truck bits he could add on. I personal thought the car was horrible. It looked bad, ran worse, and was just a complete mistake. But the guy had spent years and almost all of his cash on the car and I had to appreciate it as the guys passion as he had done the work himself to a very high standard.
Its funny, but I watch Counting Cars sometimes and hear the same lines coming out of the Count that I used.
To each their own......

Nice paint; the rust in the rear wheel arch and sunroof is brutal, as well as the rims and park-bench wing (and the "Turbo GT" badges on the doors, and painted FTP lenses). Wouldn't want to guess how fast the aluminum exhaust will melt :S
But as 23Racer says, it's a matter of taste. I wonder if it is a turbo, or just a turbo hood on it? Also looked like the hood had hail damage in the last shot, but I couldn't tell in the other pictures.
