This shits gone too far

This.

I found this on instagram

is it just me or does it look like shes wearing a mask, like one of those president masks?

depends on the person, as an art statement i like it.

...and what "art statement" would that be?

That's like being one of those people who looks at a painting of a black square on a huge canvas and claims that it "really speaks to you because you can feel the artists pain".

There's nothing artistic about hopping on the bandwagon and trashing cars...

BTW: There's this awesome art group in the twin cities called the Frankensteiners. Check em out sometime. Real artsy types.

Art is in the eye of the beholder. If it's your thing that's cool, and people should do their own thing. But not everyone is going to like it. I can't imagine the owner did that to "express himself", he did it get attention. I mean he certainly got attention, just like Mike Burroughs did with his E28. Not my thing and I have no problem saying that. I think it's dumb and ugly but they can do what they want with their cars.

However, eye of the beholder becomes very relevant to the end product when the intent of the product is quite clearly (and possibly entirely) "hey! look at me!". That's what separates this from Mike's E28.

I'd venture to say that his E28 started as exactly that. It was clean until his friend crashed it, so Mike decided to rust the whole thing. I don't know what else it could be besides wanting attention.

From the cliffs notes I read on it, it kind of started as a fuck it why not *insert idea here*. I could be wrong though, I didn't care to read the full thread.

Yup, kind of a novelty where there was nothing to lose. The thing really came into its own with the flying tigers finish, imo.

This Audi is just cobbled together out of so much shit you can't take it seriously. No one would swap that engine in, and no one would "repair" the quarter panel with license plates. It's all an attention thing.

The way I took it was that he wanted something different form what you see on the BMW side of things. People had been rusting VWs long before he did, so he wasn't a pioneer, but the end result polarized the BMW community because it hadn't been done before (at least on purpose). Some love it and some hate it, just like this B6. It's different and admittedly unique which will certainly make the car and the owner internet famous. But, IMO, both scream "try hard status" and I'm not down with it personally. It is what it is but I just hope this trend isn't something that will become the next fad...

yeah, they're at back to the 50's each year. I also see a few of them roaming St. Cloud around the vw dealership (there's a tattoo shop near by they are usually parked out in front of)
