Things That Make You Go "Hugh?"
I cannot fathom the thinking behind this paint scheme. Poor Bimmer!
To each his own. I've owned some fast cars, and spent money to make them go faster. No money was spent to make the statement, "Hey Officer, look at me!" Or, "Yo, easily fenced parts sitting here."
Heh, speaking of nasty looking cars, friend of mine has a mid-70's Impala 2-door, looks like crap, but has 750HP 510 motor with 1200HP on NOS and a fully built Warren Johnson racing tranny and 4.12 Strange racing rear end in a stock Chevy housing in it. It's got a concealed roll cage and can turn 8 second quarter miles, and looks like it can barely get out of it's own way. He uses it as a bracket car, and seldom loses!!!
Gotta love cars like that and their subtle, killer owners! Bet he has force fed humility to more than one hot shot.
Really sharp car guys can spot them. Once, bringing a prototype Charger (in extreme plain wrapper) from Naples to Denver, I stopped for fuel just North of Nashville on I-24. Tennessee trooper pulled in behind me. Told me I was in no trouble, just wonder what was under the hood (a 6.4 Hemi, in fact).
With 24 channels of date recording, including GPS, there was no speeding. Of course, merging did require you to quickly reach the speed limit; strictly for safety reasons, of course.

Zombie hunter special??? Who knows??? :-)
Two words......Rat Rod.
Makes sense, I guess. Wait until he tries to trade it in and starts telling the used car manager how much he has "invested" in the car.
Think Scotty is right.
It's the trend de jour. It started out in the old hot rods and the younger folk are doing their version of rat rods.
We amuses me, back in the day, what they call rat rod nowadays, we called I can't afford to paint it.
LOL. I remember those days. Had green 1951 Ford with a can spray painted right front fender.
Now there's a whole aftermarket thing happening supplying stuff that looks used and old. Who'd a thunk it. Here's a prime example.....
Rat Rod Stuff.

Looks like Ghettoflage.
I tripped across this. Speaking of green wheels. Here's a REAL "rat rod".
RatRod.
That is a new one on me. The car is in my neighborhood, and my neighborhood is semi-ghetto.
If I could get in it, I would drive it. Buy it? Meh.
