    Yes,I do! I had to do it! Too much Fun with that car. Now,I keep a disposable Camera in my cars,for the next one that I see. (Or,for when some clown in an SUV flies past me on a Snow covered road doing 65 MPH and spins out.) Which is happening tonite. We are getting some Snow,and too many overconfident selves with 4 wheel drive GOING FASTER,instead of slowing down. "Hey!!! Look at me!!! I got 4 wheel............(SMACK!!!!!).............drive."

    A couple of months after the Bondo dried out, he drove it over a Chicago pot hole and it broke apart. And all the Fiero King's sickly horses couldn't put Humpty Bondo together again.

    Wish I had some pics, but I noticed while driving to a meeting that there is a similar attempt parked at Fremd high school in Palatine. This time its a red Pontiac Firebird made to look like a 308. Side intakes, grill, side streaks, some shields. It was not hard to notice because for some reason he felt he needed to occupy two spaces.

    I don't really fault the work or the attept. Im sure in this Palatine sighting cases it is simply a high school kid who has a real love for Ferrari and trying his best to garner or replicate any experience he can. The thing I do not get is that he must subject himself to a lot of riddicule and challenges from the other kids in their pocket rocket M3s, Evos, WRXs and 350zs.

    At least these kids live in a society and a legal system that allows them to express themselves in these ways. Where I come from, they'd throw away the ignition keys if your steering wheel was half an inch too small.

    Did I mention, that I love the USA?

    I rate this thread one of the all-time greats of Ferrari Chat. Rob, do we have a hall of fame (shame?)?

    No,but seriously,Folks....BadumBUMP! (A Rimshot....:) ) I have only seen it two other times since I captured it on Film.... Once,back in the same parking lot. The other,Cruising along on IL.RT.83,Northbound in Villa Park last Summer.

    So,I will keep an eye out for it. Who knows...maybe it got painted,and now it's totally camoflauged...unrecognizable to the untrained eye.........:)



    Glad you enjoyed it. I can't believe that it still lives on in Infamy.....:)

    And....Maybe some day....when all of the Planets are In Line....I can get the Bondomobile Next to the Weinermobile!!!!!

    I realize the sight of the Bondoking makes one cry (weinen), but the Bratmobile is still a Wienermobile (Wien as in Vienna).

    I like Dan's T-Shirt idea. We have the pics, now we need a good one liner. Anybody? OTOH I'm sitting in the GM glass house, so maybe I shouldn't be so cocky...Actually I should put the Vette next to the Wienermobile and call it wonders of fibreglass.

    Yeah,I am still stuck spelling Wiener as Weiner....I had a Teacher named Weiner,pronounced "WEEEEner".... And,after writing it on Papers so often,it just got stuck in me Brain.....:) (Even though we called him a "Whiner"...:) He was,too...)

    But,you are definitely right about crying when seeing the Bondomobile!!!!...:)

    Wow - I didn't even notice that it had refelector stickers for taillights. That adds a whole new surreal dimension.

    I wonder if any of us has an Officer friend who could run the plate or something and find the owner? He deserves to come to a show with us and get a ride in all the cars....

    He at least deserves to know how famous he is. Would love to see a write-up on his car in Forza.

    ROTFLMAO!!!!! Oh MAN! At what lengths people will go! A REAL Ferrari is not an unobtainable goal anymore. The same price as a Freakin' Loaded Mini-Van-the kind with all of the Crap in it so that it resembles nothing short of a Family Room on Wheels,that is....:) (Gotta have that Boxy "Comfort Zone"....:) ).....NAH!!!

    Or,after a Zillion Dollars have been sunk into a Ricer....it's STILL a Ricer! And won't ever be anything more than that.....

    I have a soft spot for replicas, but these guys beat the cake. Proportions all wrong and worst of all: Not the power to back it up. A Fiero posing as a 308 is borderline, posing as a TR is a joke, but posing as a F50; you lost me.

    BTW: Last week at the track there was one Fiero that drove circles around everybody. I didn't get a chance to look under its hood, but that was no Fiero four banger in there anymore. So in theory it could be done the right way, but trying to reach F50 levels is definitely a stretch.

    It's 90% of the replicas that give the other 10% a bad name.
