Lord help us. I’ve talked about this thing before, but I’m definitely not done with it. There’s not enough harsh words in the universe for it. Gold barely ever looks good on a car, and when it’s metallic, it’s more gaudy than the entire 1980s put together.

This Camaro ZL1, built by 813 Customs, who defended it by saying that “PEOPLE DON’T BUILD CARS TO MAKE ANOTHER PERSON HAPPY they build it to there own style and what they want” (sic throughout). That’s a fair argument, but I cannot let it hold water. If this honestly, truly, reflects somebody’s personal style, they need to ask themselves some serious questions.
