it's a prototype for F&F 5, picture Vin hanging out the side screaming monotone macho-isms while paul is dragging someone, then realises they're catching up, and only then thinks to push the throttle the whole way.

I've always thought the 90's Taurus they brought over here was the ugliest car Ford ever made.

Well you've opened my eyes.

No, it's a "Road Angel", a GPS tracker that finds blackspots, speed cameras and limits.

I think it fell out the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down. EEEwwwww man those things are horrible enough with out causing any more emphasis. It definitely needs some serious rubber under those guards. Nah sorry its Fugly.

When E.T. phoned home, this was the unidentified object that was comming to pick him up and take him home. Somehow it got left on earth as E.T. may have been to embarrased by it, and decided take the bus instead.

yeah it looks like it already came back from the future lol.
but seriously if it had massive rubber under it it would look pretty dam good, its good to see someone being an individual its a shame their front wheel drive though. it looks better than they do stock cause they are one ulgy car to begin with.
