Unluckiest Charm in the Box
Why the FUCK would anyone in their right mind do this to a car? :huh:

I mean (seriously).. what purpose would something like this actually serve other than to piss off the neighbors?

Well, it depends on where in Cali you are.. Lived there. Went again for a visit..
But it's just not my cup of tea... It's not a bad place.. Just not for me..
 
Used to see cars like that in Denver back in the late 70s too. The owners would sort of "hop" down the road. It was quite entertaining. The only reasons I can think of are: 1) they can, 2) the people that do this meet up and impress each other with their skills. Instead of computer nerds, they are hydraulics nerds.

And, yes, California is pretty interesting when it isn't shaking or on fire if one can afford to live there. My current $75k house in Texas would go for several million in California and I wouldn't have the land to go with it.

But I'm in Cali. And you don't have a Smitty in Texas, so beat that!

Babe, I'll bet you there are hundreds of Smittys in Texas, but I'll also bet you none of them are as cool as you. So, will you move to Texas and correct that problem?
 
to answer your question to MK - we lived in Glendale. I liked Glendale for the most part, although it was very expensive. Explored the surrounding area as much as possible. The Hollywood Walk of Fame and Downtown Beautiful Burbank were quite different than what we expected from what we had seen on TV. Keep in mind that was back in the mid 80s - it has probably changed a great deal in the last 20 years. That area was definitely one to live in back in those days. Entertainment was cheap - go to the beach, the park, downtown - walk around - something was always going on.

From what I saw when I went back in 98 Hollywood, LA and Glendale have not changed..
 
Two things come to mind about why someone would do what they did to that green machine:

1. Desert lizards bob up and down in displays of male aggression during mating season. They will do this if they are on the road and your much larger vehicle runs over the top of them turning them into road goo. So, maybe the car owner thinks this is a male aggressive thing to show off his manliness and testicular vigor. Just drive your Hummer over the top of his vehicle.

2. I once saw a movie (can't remember what it was called), but a motorcycle cop pulled this guy over. The cop swaggered over to the driver. He had his nifty motorcycle cop uniform on, the tight breeches, the black, shiny leather boots, the helmet with the CHP logo on it, and those shiny mirrored sunglasses that never come off because like a Stephen King novel, his real eyes are shiny mirrors. He eyes the driver, gives a scathing forward and back review of the driver's vehicle (some vehicle in the category of a Plymoth Duster or a Yugo), and says, contemptuously: "Ya know, even if you put a lot of money into this car and brought it up to cherry condition, you'll still have a piece of crap." Then he walked away leaving the driver to ponder this truth. So, maybe someone put a lot of money into his piece of crap.
 
Could be wrong, but it looks like an early 70s Chevy Monte Carlo Caprice. The paint job looks original, and remarkably without wear. To be classic of the period, though, they'd have to put on some pinstriping, hang some fuzzy dice on the mirror, cover the dash with fake fur and put a plastic Jesus in the middle.
 
Weren't those Chevies in a mint color that was a lighter green? This paint job looks like an acid green metalic flake.
