Gee, I wonder who bidder #8 is??

That would be me. I am all over this car. Hopefully, if I can attend 5er Fest next year, I will bring it and you will all be jealous.

Thanks is SO not you.

I think you just don't want me to bid because you want it for yourself. C'mon, admit it.

I sent this message to ebay:

"The auction for his vehicle clearly smacks of shill bidding practices, as there are numerous bids in small increments from several users. The seller has zero feedback, as well, so this raises the suspicion on this case. I'm concerned an honest bidder may be required to pay a higher price than is really required, as a result of this."

Since there is no reserve on this auction ,the seller will be responsible for the seller fees after the auction.I trully hope he is shilling his own auction,the higher he drives it up,the more he will be paying Ebay.

But the money is coming out of the buyer's pocket ultimately, so it pisses me off seeing stuff go on like this.

I think "brake lines" refer to what he installed on the car and "lines" are what he was doing when he wrote the ad...

I agree with you ,But do you think there are legit bidders at this ridiculous price ? Shill for sure IMHO .

If he ends up winning his own crappy piece of shit (thats right, not a typo), he will most likely file a "Mutually agree not to complete the transaction" non-paying bidder dispute, and eBay'll refund the fees.

Maybe he can do the same with those titanium pistons

Perhaps we should have a new award / display category at 5erFest2007...Best 5er-Ricer

The way to make it doable is to cap the cost and require documentation of expenses...sorta like the Grassroots Motorsports $200x Challenge.

RobbieR,
Wow...now that is what I call a HYBRID (i.e., the AccorVette in the photo above)...yikes! Bet that monstrosity cost more than $2k to produce thus far. I just love how the "street racer / JDM / Sport-Compact set" think it is zer chic to ride around in primered cars or cars with primered body kits. I don't get it...what's the message? I'm broke but am trying to be cool anyway?

Wreaks of desperation to me...which is uncool.

Here's another view of the AccorVette future rear wing mounts (for that shopping cart look)...

I've never seen a really, honestly riced out E34 in all my days, this guy really takes the cake. WHY do people get it in their mongoloid minds to add chrome to the doors? All day long at my college I see 1991 Accords and 1998 Camrys with chrome doors, and I have to laugh each time. It seems alot of fools make it their very first piece of ricer bling, because their cars are otherwise quite ordinary.

But that Accord with a Corvette's ass and an obese man's flanks, by god. Are those long ass rods extending to the to-be-added wing?

Holy shit! I see this car about once a month on the way to work in the morning, on Loop 820 and Highway 10 in the Fort Worth - mid-cities area.
It's now red, white, and blue, and the rear wing has been completed....3 levels for maximum downforce.
I kept an eye on him the last time I spotted him, it looks like he works at a hole in the wall body shop. Go figure.

davem,
Please snag some photos if you can in its finished condition. So, it has the Red Baron "tri-plane" rear wing, eh? Suweetness!

Red-White&Blue to boot? Are there any stars visible on the car? Given that level of patriotism, I hope the Accord was at least made in Marysville, OH.

Otherwise, he's living a LIE!

Someone is really getting their moneys worth with that bad boy! (in laughs)
