Pimpmobile Explorer!

Agents SecretSquirrel and Ghost both spotted this hideous variant of an already useless SUV on a recent trip to the Austin area. Unfortunately, the pictures did not come out at all well, but what you *can* make out (despite the crappy images) is still worthwhile. Click on any image to see a larger version.

Note the wide fender flares... And the fact that *everything* attached to the back of the Exploder is gold plated! Even the wiper arm and blade holder!
Also, note the "dual exhausts" that exit through the custom rear bumper.

White Exploder. Gold trim, and stickers. Deep purple stripes and body kit. Gold wheels and ludicrously low-profile tires. Hmmm... want to bet that the driver gets pulled over a lot by the police? "Why, no, officer, I'm not a pimp or drug dealer. Why do you ask?"

That pinstripe around the beltline is purple. The fender flares are purple. The little "squiggle" stickers all over the body panels, the wheels, the wiper arm, the exhaust tips, the roof rack, the metal plate on the back bumper, even the f-ing door locks are gold or gold-plated... Nice "accent" by the driver's taillight. Not. And the owner has a hitch on the back; I'd hate to see what carnival ride he tows with this thing.


Eurgh. Our agents and this writer both had to restrain themselves from heaving their lunches upon viewing this abomination.

Note the "custom" front end. Admittedly, it's hard to tell in this front shot, but there is also gold trim around the headlights, outlining the grille area, and just slathered all over the former chrome. The front wipers are gold, too.

On second thought, excuse me, I'm feeling ill...

A shot from the other side, proves that it's the same on both sides. Good riddance.
