Default Pimp my Turbo ... check out the color and options on this one

Do you think this Turbo has been pimped?

Yuck. Gold paint and chrome wheels. Bling, bling.

This dealer is local, I should go see it.

I imagine the laughs at the factory when that one rolled off the line as was shipped over here.

Yes, it definitely is a gross car. Too bad.

This dealer usually has awesome cars. In fact, a couple of months ago they had a nice 959.

I wonder if that interior was a factory special order or aftermarket....No matter how ugly I think it is I still have to admire the ***** of anyone who drove it. Real chick magnet don't ya think....

Lets pick at it! The 2 items that stand out the most for me are the beige air vents in the middle of the dark brown dash, and the dark bumper plugs up front......Oh, Oh, Oh!!!!(in my best Sam Kennison voice)

what is even more sad is that somebody spent a fortune to option the car in all 2tone leather interior.

I could live with the gold metallic outside (w/black inside), but the brown on tan is awful. Perhaps it is a good desert mobile for Rommel .. perfect to win the paris-dakar rally

Speaking of pimping, i was thinking of adding 1 'bling' item to my otherwise 'low-key, in good taste TT' just for humor. What do u recommend?
im thinking a gold chain link liscense plate holder ...
