whats worse than a newbie?? a newbie that doesnt know [censored]. dean and his car are what all of us should strive to be. dean is kind, helpful, passionate, enthusiastic, trustworthy, respectful and a list of other good things that when typed out would crash this site because it would suck up too much memory. deans car is the [censored] plain and simple. think before you type [censored].

All of your "[censored]" = s--t right? well maybe dean is a good guy and more people in the world should try to emulate his positive attributes and all, but I personally dont want to "stive" to make my car more like his, come on now, get your head in the game here.

i didnt say make your car look like his. i am saying put that kind of effort and love into making your car your own like dean has done. if you had been here through the years and knew what you were talking about you wouldnt put his car down. you dig?

Aside from the wing, which I think he's removed (thank God), Dean's car is the personification of classic understatement. It's got a ton of work done to it, but it doesn't look like it "crashed into a paint store". As I said before, to each his own, but don't crack on someone whose good enough at what he does to have his own successful business doing it. Dean is a genuine class act and deserves all our respect.
Don't get me wrong... I like Dean, I like Dean's car... but I would go a LONG WAY from calling that "Classic understatement." You want understatement? Look at Kontofosho's (BOFH's) SVT... look at BeyondloadedSE's car, look at Demon's or Outlawd's car... THAT'S understated... massive internal mods, tasteful, minimal exterior mods that highlight and enhance.
Dean's car looks nice, but its FAR from understated... major body fabrication, bagged, MASSIVE interior modifications, (formerly) a large wing and tilted plate, and a (certainly expensive) custom color, metal-flake paint job.
Now look at this other car... minimal body mods, MASSIVE interior modifications, a large wing, and an expensive custom paint job.
What's the big deal? Parts of it I don't like (windshield banner and wing, mainly). The rest of it looks hot. Coincidentally, the only things I dont' like about Dean's car are the windshield banner and the (now-removed) wing.
I don't think you should compare it unfavorably to Dean's car, as I'm sure Dean wouldn't approve of that, knowing first hand how much time, effort, money, and pride goes into making a show car.
Sure this guy sounds like an ass, but you are all TREATING him like asses as well. Geez.

You think I just dropped a roll of cash on the table and had some [censored] build it in one day??? Get real. You don't know the amount of time and effort I put into that car. I made it MINE. 90% of the work done to that car was done be my father and I. People who have never even met me will see pictures of my car someplace I've never even been and go "yeah thatâ??s Contour Rob's car".
And for the record, I didn't bash his car at all so quit reading into something that wasn't even there. I give props to anyone who buys a car and does whatever the [censored] they want to it, despite what all the haters have to say.
You think I care what you have to say? Hardly, but don't go running your mouth about [censored] you don't even know man. You can hate my paint, you can hate my wing and you can hate my rims, but don't you dare list my car in a class below Dean's solely on the fact that you think he put more effort into his [censored] then I did in mine.

OH YEAH!!! WELL....... OK THEN.
Seriously. Like I said before, if you enjoy it, & you can make a little coin on the whole deal, more power to ya. Rock on!
I really don't know what the fuss is all about. It's not like he painted your car. If you don't like it, let it go. Life is too short to dwell on 'who likes what' trivia.
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

MB, I'm usually not too far behind your opinions, but, this I disagree with. At a glance, one could easily mistake this car for a stock Contique, apart from the stance. That is what understatement means to me.
If you look at the Gaudytour, you'll see a ridiculous paint job and a wing that definitely do not fit the bill. The paint, IMO has too many colors, and is that "new and cool" pseudo-tribal design that everyone wants on their car in vynil.
And, when you come on here, bragging that your car appraised for $65k and think you're king $#!t, you're going to get raked over the coals. Pure and simple.
