Default Speaking of tacky things people do to their cars, check this S3 out

Was at our local Mazda dealer today (wife's thinking of getting a Mazda 2) and saw this. The dealer had hidden it around the back because (he actually said) it was too embarrassing to leave out front. They'd taken it as a trade-in and have no idea what to do with it now.

Someone actually took a good car (an S3 Quattro) and did this to it. The dealer told us that the paint job alone had cost $14,000 (hand-painted by an artist). It's not only the paint job they ruined though, it looks like they broke the suspension and fuglied the rear lights too. No idea what else they did to it, but I bet it's also bad.

"S3 Lord of the Rings special" (yours for $40,000)
