has this turned into "decently photoshopped cars"?
TBH there are soooo many decently/madly modded cars as well as photoshops I really don't know which is which - my apologies
Apologies for what? This is real:

goddammit, you're right!
that picture looks dodgy as hell, weird angles of number plates, bits in and out of focus - and why would you use a crappy CG125?
but...

but the race pickup a few posts earlier is surely not real?

I don't even know anymore

The brown one I posted? Pretty sure it’s real. Prerunners are a big thing in the US

Its not for me. Its just a small van with wheels that look too big for it.

I like it too, just subtle enough. What it's crying out for is something like a GTi engine transplant.

Its not a total pass, but what I don't like is fixable (the trike on the roof). It's a BMW 2002 with a two tone paint job and a Honda S2000 engine. It should be terrible and a horrible thing to do to a 2002, but Iike it (trike excepted).

And no I didn't know Fast Car was still a thing either.

Christ on a trike!

.. I love it. Can only imagine its an awesome drive too.

No matter what they did style / scene wise, at least its not rotting away under a tarp like the majority of 2002s

Get rid of the stupid front bumper/nudge bar thing, the trike and roof rails and that’s nigh on perfect.

Sometimes I think it's just for the challenge...

As you say, an R8 would probably snap just as much knicker elastic if that was the objective, for anyone who knows their cars it's obviously not a real one.
I doubt women would know an R8 from a TT, there is an Audi parked on every street, most people will never even see a Bugatti.

They would probably think it was a kit car. Most people (especially women) aren't interested in cars, they would just view anyone with any sort of sporty car as a bit of a knob.

Hmm not sure on that one, I still remember a girl talking about somebody with a Porsche. "He took me out in is Porsche" "Porsche this, Porsche that, Porsche" It seemed to have the desired effect on her anyway... I think rather then viewing you as a knob they actually just see £££.

Have an old porsche with no roof and is cheaper than a fiat 500.

Can confirm the above is correct
