Black Eyed Peas' will.i.am Gets Custom Car Impounded - Polidicks

Looks like it's made out of cheap plastic.

It looks like a really bad body kit some ricer put on his Acura.

... I still think It's a nice car

I think it looks pretty cool actually. [img]http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/17q680p9xi7cqjpg/original.jpg[/img]

[QUOTE=Andokool12;36402821]If it was originally in a game you'd be all over it[/QUOTE] No, I wouldn't. Why would I be "all over it" if it were in a video game?

why are you guys so pretentious i would drive that shit any day

[QUOTE=Rediscover;36403804]why are you guys so pretentious i would drive that shit any day[/QUOTE] How in the fuck does not wanting to drive that make somebody pretentious? It's kind of the opposite. Look up the meaning of pretentious.

The front could look a lot better but everything else looks pretty good. Been a while since I've seen a car with such pronounced shapes.

Damn that is a sweet car. Also: the black eyed peas suck, but not as much as raging about the black eyed peas online

It reminds me of a car from a movie or game but I can't put my finger on it.

He's not bad as a person and he's actually quite smart, but FUCK his music is shit and so are his designs

The car could do with a different color and maybe front.

[QUOTE=TheCloak;36405343]can you stop talking[/QUOTE] Why? Because I understand English?

[QUOTE=faze;36403987]How in the fuck does not wanting to drive that make somebody pretentious? It's kind of the opposite. Look up the meaning of pretentious.[/QUOTE] It's really only pretentious because most of the people who are saying it looks ridiculous are only saying that because it was made by Will.I.Am. They don't like the car because they don't like the car itself, they don't like the car because they don't like the Black Eyed Peas. Of course there are people who genuinely hate the car because they think it looks dumb, but being on the internet if the general opinion on a thread is "it looks like crap" people will go with the status quo and join in with the hate.

What Will.I.Am was attempting to do was create an auto company to build those cars in Los Angeles to bring jobs back to America and help out his home city. He didn't create his own car to drive around in and show up to clubs with to flaunt his fame and wealth, he created his own car to help the american economy. [editline]19th June 2012[/editline] He was out driving the car because he's trying to promote the image of his car to persuade people that they may want a car like that.

[QUOTE=faze;36405549]You think this isn't flashy? What are you smoking?[/QUOTE] I'm not saying it isn't flashy, i'm saying it's not "flashy bullshit" as you were saying. It's not for his own personal gain.

[QUOTE=mysteryman;36405569]I'm not saying it isn't flashy, i'm saying it's not "flashy bullshit" as you were saying. It's not for his own personal gain.[/QUOTE] Sure, it isn't but it sure as shit promotes the idea.

Smells like a publicity stunt to get these cars noticed if you ask me... The whole thing sounds too fishy.

[QUOTE=GhostSonic;36398634]I found this after googling.[/QUOTE] Also within doing research it turns out that the car is built using only OEM Chrysler parts. [editline]19th June 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=faze;36405582]Sure, it isn't but it sure as shit promotes the idea.[/QUOTE] The point is to get the cars noticed. He wants to build them IN AMERICA and bring JOBS to our festering ECONOMY. But you know what? You're right. Why should we build these flashy cars, let's tell will to call the whole thing off, we don't need the business and the jobs. In fact, let's take the prototype and throw it in a tire fire lit by burning $100 bills to make sure this thing never helps out the jobless americans.

anyone got pics of back?

Question is, can someone tell me anything about its chassis, suspension, or powertrain? I'm getting the impression that its nothing spectacular.

[QUOTE=faze;36405446]I am saying it's stupid because I'm tired of all this boughey flashy bullshit that the celebrities flaunt around.

What you're argument seems to come down to is that because he's trying to be different he's somehow an asshole. If I ever have an obscene amount of money I'm totally gonna have my own home built that'd probably look 'flashy' and ridiculous to most people, and I'm totally gonna have a car custom built to suit me. If I ever get the money I'm gonna have the things in my life made the way I want them so that they look cool to me and work the way I want them to - I'm not gonna rely on some concept artist, or architect designing something that I'll just happen to enjoy.

wasn't william trying to start a car company with his horrific fucking car designs it's literally just one of those texas-made repros of the delorean with a shit body

I wouldn't want to drive a flashy car it'd probably get stolen or keyed all the time, and you'd constantly have to make awkward smalltalk with people asking about it.

[QUOTE=BANNED USER;36407020]Question is, can someone tell me anything about its chassis, suspension, or powertrain? I'm getting the impression that its nothing spectacular.[/QUOTE] Reminds me of Pimp my Ride.

That car looks horrible. A few subtle changes and it'd look accceptable, but... it just looks, somehow... fragile. And the wheels are wrong too. [editline]20th June 2012[/editline] The rims are too big.
