Which is more embarrassing?

The photographer says "a grown woman drives this car," so which is more embarrassing?


1. The Bratz doll painted on the hood?
2. The Grand Canyon hood gap?
3. Or the rather freaking well done looking pink paint job?

I'm torn between the Bratz doll and the hood gap.

Too bad the guy obviously has image sharpening turned on on his camera, everything is WAYYYYY too sharp.

Looks to me that the hood gap is probably caused by the Z's front bumper being pressed into the car parked in front of it's rear bumper

4. the fact that the driver has actually run into the tan car parked infront of it

The doll on the hood is pretty horrible. Thats my vote. If the female owner want's her car pink, ok fine...but a friggin doll on the hood?! Geeeez, thats beyond tacky.

I don't think the car has been wrecked like y'all are suggesting. I think it's just the angle of the picture. If the car hit the beige one, I'd think the front bumper where it connects to the front quarter panel would be gapped/wrinkled/showing damage, and it looks absolutely perfect.

I'm going to have to go with the other guys and say the gap is from the cars being pressed together.

Paint before doll

The fact that you see the pink WAY before you see the doll makes the paint more embarrassing. I think Mary Kay has even stopped painting their cars pink. How about ONE wash for the salad shooters too.

Nah, Mary Kay is still doing pink Cadillacs, I saw one a few weeks ago. It was like a pearl white with pink added to it. Very pale pink, but pink nonetheless!

how do you fix that hood gap? Mines not that bad, but I'd like to tighten it up a bit.

Nah, that's Tweety Bird and 5 or 6 other air fresheners. Perhaps that should have been a fourth option in the poll! She must STINK!!!!

you fix it by backing that car up off the one in front of it. As for youer car, try loosending the bolts holdng it under the hood and then pushing the hood up and in with your hands in the grille. tightent he bolts and se how she looks.

BTW, that car is cute
