Banana Car
Who doesn't love bananas? They're delicious, healthy, and perfect templates for insane vehicle-builds. Just look at this thing! Would anyone turn down a ride in a banana car? Sure, you might get a bit wet if it rains, but think of all those envious glances you'll receive from folks on the sidewalk.
Cartoon Car
We're just going to come out and say it — a lot of custom cars look absolutely terrible. But this one? No way. It's awesome! The cartoon aesthetic is unmistakable. We wouldn't be shocked if Roger Rabbit popped out of the driver's seat. And you know what, folks? There are plenty more unique motors on the road right now, as we're about to discover...
Liam Nissan
Okay, be honest with us. Have you ever seen a cooler-looking custom car than this? It's a bona fide masterpiece! It deserves all the flowers in the world. The only thing missing is the man himself. Imagine Liam Neeson driving the Liam Nissan. We'd pay anything to see that happen.
Hanging on by a Thread
We can probably guess what you're thinking — how on Earth is that pickup truck still running? We haven't got a clue! To say it's hanging on by a thread feels like a gross understatement. A mechanic would have a field day working on this thing. It might take a while, though.
Left in a Hurry?
Have you ever left the gas station in such a hurry that you bring the pump with you? No? Well, you're in a better spot than this poor police officer. We wonder how long it took until someone made them aware of the situation. Maybe another cop pulled them over!
Camperplow
Standard snowplows? Pah. Who needs them? Instead, why not opt for this custom camperplow? Think about it, folks. It's perfect for any winter road trip. Yes it looks a bit rickety and old, but that's part of the charm. Wait, you aren't convinced? Oh well. We tried our best!
Shrunk in the Wash?
Oh boy — what's going on here! This might be the strangest bit of vehicle customization we've ever seen. The wheels are comically tiny. How do they support the weight of the truck? We can only imagine what the suspension system looks like here. Could someone hand us a torch please...
Pretty in Pink
We won't beat around the bush here — this custom paint job is absolutely wonderful! It just works, right? The dashes of pink compliment the muscle car's fearsome features. We wouldn't mind seeing more of this on the road. But we can't say the same about our next entry...
Bee Cre8ive
Do any of you guys have an intense fear of bees? Well, look away now! Yep, the motorist here sure was "cre8ive" when transforming this vehicle. They even gave it wings. And the stinger? Woah. That's one way to stop other cars from rear ending you on the road.
Three-Wheeled Nightmare
Can anyone tell us what this vehicle is supposed to be? Anyone? Because we're at a complete loss, folks. It's got no doors, no roof, and a non-existant rear end. We'd be terrified of driving it. And it just looks so goofy. A three-wheeled nightmare? The perfect description!
Tinfoil Car
Have you ever wondered what would happen if you wrapped a car in tinfoil? Well, say hello to this oddity! Given the color of the vehicle, it looks like it's melting. We don't know about you, but we doubt that was the intended effect here. Is it weirder than our next entry, though?
Frankenstein Motorhome?
If nothing else, this motorhome is certainly fascinating to look at. You can't take your eyes off it! It's a bizarre, Frankenstein's monster of a vehicle. We don't know whether to drive it or chase it off with flaming torches. Could you summon the bravery to get behind the wheel?
Double-Up
How's this for a head-scratching mod? The vehicle you see here has doubled-up its tires, making it an eight-wheeler. Why? We have no idea. Honestly, it's eye-catching for all the wrong reasons, folks! Less is more in cases like this. And the same can probably be said of the next car, too...
The Grille
Can car grilles be stylish? Absolutely. This thing, though? Yikes! We have no idea what's going on here. It's pretty dang weird, right? If Pixar's Cars franchise ever goes down the horror route, this motor stands a great chance of bagging a leading role. Watch out Lightning McQueen...
UFO Unit
Does alien life exist? Well, this car is trying its very best to get someone's attention up there! Rocking a license plate that reads "UFO Unit," it's lit up like a Christmas tree. We don't envy the poor drivers who find themselves behind it. You'd need sunglasses on standby.
The Flatbed
We're surprised that no one's ever thought of this before, folks. Putting a bed at the back of a flatbed truck? Talk about wild! Having said that, would you want to take a nap on that thing in the evening? Especially on the road? Hopefully it doesn't rain...
Dented
Look, folks — dents can happen. Even the best drivers aren't immune to pranging their vehicles on occasion. But the motor here? Oh boy. If you told us it'd been hit by a bus, we'd believe you! We hope the owner's on their way to the nearest repair shop in this photo.
The Shiny
Good luck missing this vehicle on the road — it just screams "look at me!" From the shiny paint job to the bright underbody lights, you can't accuse it of being boring. Is it something you'd want to drive, though? Props if you do. Our next entry is quite similar as well...
Feast for the Eyes
Is that a car? Or is it a giant bag of M&M's on wheels? We're still not sure! All joking aside, this vehicle has an absolutely insane paint job. We can only imagine what the interior looks like. If it's plain and boring, we'll eat our hat.
The Scorpion
Can any of you guys tell us what's happening here? Because we haven't got a clue! Are those ugly things meant to be exhaust pipes? Or did the owner want to transform their car into a scorpion? Either way, this vehicle is eye-catching for all the wrong reasons, folks.
The Anteater
Sports cars come in all shapes and sizes nowadays. Yet we can honestly say that we've never seen one that looks like this! Why does it resemble an anteater? And those doors? Hmm. They look squashed to us. We'd be amazed if the interior was anything but cramped.
Squashed
Did a giant anvil land on the roof of this pickup truck? That would certainly explain the damage! The driver can't even close the door. And the head space? It looks pretty non-existant in this shot. Talk about a claustrophobic's worst nightmare. Is our next entry much better, though?
RED
Hands up if you love red motors. Don't be shy! It's a cool color to go for. But is there such a thing as too much red? Well, feast your eyes on this monster. It's bathed in it. Even the hub caps are red. It's certainly a choice...
Mechanical Monstrosity
Eldritch horrors don't exist in real life...do they? Well, this mechanical monstrosity has us questioning everything! It's absolutely hideous. Not even the great H.P. Lovecraft could've envisioned such a vile creation. We'd rather take our chances hitching a ride with Cthulhu instead, folks. Fancy joining us?
The Brick-Mobile
At a glance, this looks like a rather elaborate paint job. But it isn't — the car's exterior is literally covered in bricks. Huh? That's crazy! Is it more durable as a result? Maybe. Fixing a dent here can't be easy, though. A mechanic would need to visit a home improvement store to get the right materials.
Swiss Cheese on Wheels
We're going to be blunt here — this car looks absolutely ridiculous. A swiss cheese design? Who thought that was a good idea? All those holes are a recipe for disaster. Rain water and engines don't mix! Even the gaudy gold color scheme is questionable...
The Grassy Pickup Truck
This might be one of the most visually-pleasing vehicles we've ever seen. Yes, it's bonkers beyond belief, but something about it just works. The grassy exterior is so clean cut! It could give any garden lawn a run for its money. Will this particular style catch on, though? You can't rule it out...
The Grassy Van
Well, how about that? Another grassy vehicle? Sweet! Much like the pickup truck, this van is bafflingly brilliant, too. The owner's taken a lot of care here. We can only imagine what their lawn looks like at home. But how does our next entry compare? Let's find out.
The Hairy Audi
Is anyone else getting Mutt Cutts vibes from Dumb and Dumber here? Or is it just us? Yep, this Audi is absolutely covered in hair. Trips to the car wash are sure to be interesting! We wonder if the owner has any special shampoo and conditioner on hand?
Keyboard Simpson
Look, we love The Simpsons as much as the next person. But would we want Homer plastered across our hood? Probably not! This car is extra weird, though. Its exterior design is made up of keys from a keyboard. Points for creativity, at least.
Marble BMW
There are a lot of gorgeous BMWs on the road, folks. But is this one of them? We'll leave that debate to you! A marble-style exterior is certainly a choice. It grabs your attention in an instant. The same can be said of our next entry, too.
Infinite Vehicle
If you stare at this green vehicle for too long, you could quite easily lose yourself. The image plastered across the back is infinite, after all! We feel for the poor drivers who get stuck behind it on the road.
Cinderella’s Pumpkin?!
The Chrysler PT Cruiser has never been the prettiest of cars. But is this wild modification an improvement on the standard model? We're not too sure! It looks like Cinderella’s transformed pumpkin. Does it change back when the clock strikes midnight?
The Thong
Will underwear for cars ever catch on? Let's hope not! Mind you, that hasn't stopped this driver from giving their VW motor a bizarre makeover. A thong? Really? Why? We're amazed that the waistband hasn't snapped.
The Ice Truck
Nope, your eyes aren't deceiving you. This pickup truck does indeed have an exterior made entirely of ice. Impractical? Most definitely. A change in temperature could be disastrous here. But is it cool? You bet — both figuratively and literally!
