This past weekend a friend and I attended Formula D in Seattle. While taking a break from the absolute ear-slaughter (in a good way) that is Chris Forsburg's nitrous injected V8 370Z, we took a look at the attached car show. Now, I knew before going in that the show would almost exclusively feature stanced/hellaflush cars (certainly not my cup of tea, but I can appreciate the amount of planning and effort it takes). Anyway, while there we saw a Honda Odyssey on air bag suspension and enough rear camber that the tire's contact patch was basically nonexistent. This sparked a discussion between us, if your goal was to have a vehicle that alienates the most people possible (both car enthusiasts and not) what would you choose and how would yo modify it?
The best we could come up with was a lowered Hummer H2 on 30" wheels with lots of chrome. Basically, this...

personally I think the best place for it would be the bottom of a lake, I fully support testing its amphibious-ness

It's hard to say, anything that is safe enough to drive will be accepted by some enthusiasts. For example I saw a v8 swapped lada and thought it was awesome and the comments on the post were split between my thoughts and some saying "why modify such a piece of shit." The only thing that alienates me are unsafe cars, like cheaply done static drop stance cars built in a shed by a 15 year old that are 2 seconds away from debeading a tyre. Even though I don't like the look even a stance car I'd accept if they're safely built.

i would strip and cage a Prius with 22" rims and a full grip oriented aero and giant gt wing. Cake topper would be swapping the motor to a Geo metro 3 cylinder with a bunch of turbonators and a fake blower

No. Those IKEA rope lights with multicolor LEDs. EVERYWHERE. Maybe some Christmas lights duct taped to an inverter instead, yeah. That.

A rolls Royce time attack car.
We always praise how cars like the BRZ are light and track ready out the box, but I wanna get the most opulent car I can and turn it into a track monster. This also pisses of non enthusiasts because I've turned a precious status symbol that they aspire to buy used down the road into a gutted, shell of it's former self.
