Yeah, bad parody, but if you do anything with cars, you know these people.

I'm vaguely reminded of the counterfeit Mini Cooper virals that ran a while back. And now I feel the strong urge to mount a blower and rear spoiler to my Nissan Sentra. Maybe paint a skull on the side as well.

Weird. Those guys weren't Romanian, but everyone else was. Dacias are also excellent cars.

Bad parody? Granted, I've got no flash so I haven't seen all those embeds, but from the text and pics I was thought this was the genuine article. Regardless, I appreciated this fpp, and became inspired to share this link now: Gentoo is for Ricers [via]

Actually, if you click on the Pro-Street banners on the page, it takes you to a legit Romanian auto repair shop's web page. It's viral marketing, but it is damned funny. The videos are the best- they are so bad... in the way that Bob Hope is obviously reading from cue cards and talking to the camera in the the "On the Road" movies is bad- so bad it's funny.

I liked the photograph of the grandparents. Makes them bad boys with respect but I also love that grandfatherly style of sweater, jacket, and cap.

The donut attempt had me laughing out loud. Yes, my tastes are simple.

On the other hand, in the Ukraine they do their custom car modding with class.
