Default And the award for the ugliest hood scoop goes to....

Tadaaaaaa! Check it out, can you believe the laser-like accuracy of the joint between the side of the scoop and the hood? How about the brilliant way the stripe width was integrated into the hood scoop! Ah, sheer perfection in every way! For more pics of this masterpiece, view this eBay auction:

I'd be ashamed to drive that car. The stripes don't even look good. If he would pull the stripes and remove that hood scoop, he would get more for the car. Plus he has over 25K miles on it. Not many people would buy a 1+ year car with that many miles.

Seriously, the average for one year is supposed to be around 11,000 or so, 25,000 is a crazy distance, it'll shorten that motor's life like whoah.

He is ashamed...

THAT is why he is selling it on E-Bay...

He had to.. the dealership refused to accept it as a trade in!

It appears to be a dealership selling the car, so it probably WAS a trade-in. Does Kelley Blue Book have a deduction factor for ugly mod's?

25K a year doesn't sound all that bad. My commute to work is only 16 miles each way... I still average 2000 miles a month... and it's not my only vehicle!
However, as far as that scoop goes... "Eet eez definitely sucking." (said with a German accent)

Those are the basic gauges, the car is not equipped with the Interior Upgrade Package. The IUP has the information center and the additional gauges. I guess you don't see many 'stangs in your neck of the woods to compare to!
