The Crazy tuners Of the 80s Part 2

[@Edgy01]

I used to see many of these converted cars in the 'auto souks' of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. There was a substantial appetite for those one-off cars there in the ME

3:00 Whoever made that conversion should be SHOT. For crimes against humanity. Btw, this car is *indeed* Grosser but not in German but in *English* as in GROSS-er. And for the king of Saudi Arabia?? Well, at least the Shah of Iran had taste even if he was a despotic ruler. Heck, even a thug like Idi Amin never desecrated a Mercedes 600, or even Elvis Presley - a man not exactly known for being modest as evident by his stage dress (president Nixon directly told him "You dress kind of wild, don't you, son?" when they met in person). Both Idi Amin and Elvis Presley owned a Mercedes 600. 9:12 Please tell me that is a photoshop. If not it's just embarrassing and something a 10 year old kid would come up with. Again. Genuine performance tuners like DP - who had genuine racing experience - don't really deserve to be bundled together with the gaudy visual "tuners" of the 80's (or any other decade). DP basically decided to use the Silhoutte car racing era (Group 5 racing) as a template to make a road legal racing Porsche 935 (successful in Group 5 and IMSA racing at the time). 11:19 Oh, I doubt that. I humbly disagree. The over-the-top gaudy, tacky and flashy has *always* been considered tasteless no matter the decade. Even in the 80's and its penchant for excess, the only ones buying these visual "tuner" cars were either rich oil sheiks with more money than taste, drug barons who came from the gutter and liked to overcompensate as much as they could or new money athletes who also came from the gutter and had no other qualification aside from their sporting talent. Somebody like Ralph Lauren would never buy them and you'd *never* see them displayed at any Concourse D'Elegance. 17:59 Actually made me laugh how ridiculous it is. If I return to the king of Saudi Arabia. My guess is that he was a sucker buying anything as long as it had an insane price tag to it. So the "tuner" decided to make big money by offering something incredibly expensive. Since he was a sucker he naturally didn't ask what he really got for his money's worth but they knew him well enough that he'd accept anything on a holocaust of gaudy/vulgar level and netted some nice money from it. In the 80's many made fast money from selling pipe-dream projects and overly ambitious schemes (backed up by nothing substantial) so it's hardly surprising somebody decided to exploit this niche in the market.

Very cool to see pictures I have not seen since my childhood. Some of that stuff was OK, some was actually cool, and some was amazingly tacky. Good video.
