Re: *** "OFFICIAL" CarJunkie VIOLATION GAME ***

OK, I can't take it any more. Keep in mind that I have junk way worse than most of what's here. But...I also spent 16 years as a pro car critic. When people asked how come they could not get in a magazine it was usually hard to break the news. But if I really had to answer, I'd say stuff like...

- Sits way too high in back
- Raised white letters
- Welds are bordeline violation...and are those 14s?
- Screw-on tips
- Chrome shock towers
- Grant cheapie wheel
- SS badge on horn button
- Luan door panels
- Gauges and wiring
- Not only are they highback buckets, but they have sheepskin covers (or worse)

(Steve, you said you were game)

Damn, he's good !!!
;)

For the record:
- Cragar Street Stars, not Weld - (yes 14"er's)
- Chrome exhaust tips are welded on, not screw-ons
- highback buckets are covered with POS synthetic crap (wish they were sheepskin)
- agree with the rest except the stance - like 'em high in the rear (that should elicite some comments !)
- she just got back from HRPT - 4,422 miles round trip doing 80 most of the time.

This it GREAT fun !!!
;D

IMO you can't really call violations on parts cars or junk you have not worked on yet. Violations are reserved for stuff the owner added (or neglected) and thinks is cool anyway. However, whoever owned that Cuda in a past life should be shot for the gold engine, among other things.

LMFAO!!! Oh, man - when I saw that engine, I was shaking my head, going WTF!. Other highlights include the wrong leaf springs, so the rear axle is a back couple of inches from where it should be, a crunched fender "repaired" with unfinished bondo and poster paint, a crudely blacked out grille with overspray on the Plymouth emblem and turn signals, one of which is held in place with duct tape, and the tackiest license plate I've ever seen. There was also a seriously ugly cover over the dashpad, and speakers in the kick panels. Despite all this, I think it's got a lot of potential, and I couldn't pass it up at the price.

Re: *** "OFFICIAL" CarJunkie VIOLATION GAME ***

I am positive that you guys will be able to sufficiently rip mine a new one. ;D

Two words....BLING BLING!!!

That it is. But, everything serves a purpose (besides the tail lights and stripes). :D Plus I'm a fanatic about clean with this car, making it look even more bling I suppose.

Re: *** "OFFICIAL" CarJunkie VIOLATION GAME ***

These are not current as the ront end parts are all installed less the hood and there are no door panels (being made by me at home) AND its sits about 2 inches lower up front ... have a nut....

- Air filter element smashed and too small for the housing
- Standard Mopar ballast-resistor repair dangling from wires
- Flex radiator hose
- chrome things on headlights
- Not only raised white letters, but also OUTLINED rwl
- Not only 14s, but also Keystone Klassics
- I'm wobbling on the nose art

BTW, if I had anything that RAN that was anything other than STOCK JUNK you guys could be ripping me, too. The Crusher Camaro interior and underhood alone could fill a few pages. And plenty of you have "views" on the F-Bomb, too. And my Super Bee is not devoid of punishable violations.

Re: *** "OFFICIAL" CarJunkie VIOLATION GAME ***

We wanna see these alleged violations.

Re: *** "OFFICIAL" CarJunkie VIOLATION GAME ***

Oh, they're not alleged...they're prosecutable.

I remember wiring mess on the Crusher from the vids. Bad Chad.

I know the first 2 that DF will say about my junk. hmmm

Too easy.

You mean the cars. The bellflower pipes and the viny steering wheel cover. Possibly the 8 ball door locks.

The GR-RRR plate on the goat is a little cliche'. Someone might call an LS7 in a GTO a violation.
I don't see a tiger tail, so that's a bonus.

That's the only violation I saw, the grrrrr plate with no tail.

Re: *** "OFFICIAL" CarJunkie VIOLATION GAME ***

The Chevy in a Pontiac is a violation, but at least it's quick. The cowl gauges seem like a violation with your drag wheels but not so bad with your five-spokes.

Re: *** "OFFICIAL" CarJunkie VIOLATION GAME ***

I'm feeling masochistic so I'm gonna toss in my other car. 70 Caprice.








I can't find a pic of the interior, though the bath towel seat cover is a definite violation. And, the vinyl top is now gone thanks to a stint on the freeway.
