Any car can be turned into ugly even your cobra.

As a Kid, my parents had a Jalpa...which was almost impossable to bragg about, when I told friends we owned a Lambo...and everyone said Countach and I said "Nope, a Jalpa" they 1) didn't know what it was and 2) when they saw it turned around and ran away.

Oh, well...I'm not sure where it ended up...but I hope it's rusting.

Having just spent 24 hrs in the pits with the DP 75 and 76 cars, I like to think of them as the fat lady in the opera. Not the prettiest thing to look at, but the sound is awe-inspiring.(and built like an Abrams)

I'm going to go with a Crosley Hot Shot.

I was looking at my LeMans bible yesterday and saw a pic of one of them that actually raced there!

I kinda like the Elise.

C'mon - this poor thing has a face that even a bugeye Sprite lover would frown at!

It was an Isuzu engine......The Lotus "M100" Elan was not a sucess. Lotus sold the tooling to Kia who built it in Korea with a Kia engine...less of a sucess but a great handling car!

Along those same lines ... One car that I thought was not necessarily ugly, but was - again - an acquired taste (for those of us who couldn't afford a Corvette) the (legendary?) Opel GT.

Your pal,

Madmiles,

I use to love that Omni GLH Turbo. Not because it was a Shelby, It was just kind of cool in 86-87. There were a few around town that use to whip on the mustangs and camaros.

How about any camaro from 74-92?

Did you really call them 'bugeye' Sprites here in the US? We always thought of them as 'frogeye' Sprites in the UK!

hmmmmm
