30 Hilarious Car Mod Fails That Turned Dream Rides Into Roadside Jokes (New Pics)
Cars, cars, cars—they’re everywhere, right? You barely even realize they’re around unless something unusual happens. When a unique-looking car drives down the road, many people tend to stop and stare. But ‘unique’ doesn’t always mean ‘good’! And there’s lots of proof.
Our team here at Bored Panda has compiled a list of photos featuring bizarre and hilarious car fails where the drivers went completely overboard changing their vehicles’ appearance. Subtlety isn’t a word that’s to be found in their dictionary. Scroll down for a crash course in questionable taste and a good laugh. Don’t forget to upvote the cars you love to hate the most.

Ugh those poor wheel bearings. I can see the rear discs and there's like over a foot of offset from where the bearing is. That is so bad. Wheels lock up and car flips over and everyone dies bad.

Because The Big Car Companies Just Won't Serve The Market For Convertible Vans
DC 1 year ago
A dude I know, back in 1977 or so, had agreed to take a friend's old station wagon to the junkyard, but decided to fun around in it a bit, so they cut off the roof, more or less complete, and when it started raining, they bought a few meters of transparent foil to close it again. It's said to have felt pretty mellow, visibly bending under torsional loads and such, but they enjoyed it for about a week. The police weren't impressed, but more like shocked upon seeing and stopping this atrociously disfigured poor old Ford... After all, he had to pay a hefty fine, for endangering anyone inside and outside of it. But, they said it's been a fun week with their panorama roof...

What do you think ?

Please don't downvote me for this genuine question. A lot of things that are mounted are glued or attached to these cars, if they come loose/free when they are driving at high speed, aren't they at risk of becoming projectiles and hence a risk to others on the road? Genuinely curious as to how a lot of these can be legal?
Vincent Bevort 1 year ago
My thoughts. Most of these cars are outright dangerous. Should be illegal, as they are in most EU countries.

Some funny, some clever, some witty, and some god-awful vehicles here but I don't see anything deserving of "shame".

I think some of them are dangerous in traffic, so that's the only reason for "shame" I see here.

I don't think (most of) these should be shamed, rather they should be celebrated. Celebrated for their creativity, for their humor, for their independent streak. I honestly can't tell one model of car from another anymore. Keep 'em comin!
