I just drove past this car - sitting on the front row of the Aston Martin (!) dealer’s lot. Only 2k miles on this lovely Hellcat - yours for $52,500!!

Complete with “Hell Cat” (sic) tramp stamp.

I worry about someone who buys this, throws a bunch of money at shitty graphics, and dumps it 2,000 miles later - WTF?  Would be even more amusing if they traded it in for an Aston Martin, I guess.

Ykes.

Someone’s grandkids must have told them it was either the Old Age Home, or getting rid of the “Hell Cat”.

Wow, I feel like the dealer would have a much easier time selling that car if they spent the money to get rid of those graphics. It might even fetch more.

That’s a very plausible scenario right there.   Usually I assume that the original owner couldn’t handle the payments, but this thing is sitting on an A-M lot somehow.

My mind is racing - the dealer gets his cars either by buying at auction, or getting them in trade, right???

And I can’t imagine that they bought this car at auction - so they probably took it in trade?

This particular dealer *does* carry some off the wall cars (and boats, etc.) - maybe it was taken in trade for a used car, I guess?

They made him trade it in - for a DB11, LOL.

Yea I was kind of thinking the same thing. If I’m the owner of an Aston Martin dealership, I’m wholesaling that monstrosity or at the very least parking it inside and out of sight.

Grandpa, you need something a little less... shouty. Less Vin Diesel, more James Bond.

I really hope that’s vinyl, but if it was I suspect the dealer would have already removed it.

I’ve seen power boats on that lot, and they currently have a Model 3 (!), an H1, a Harley Davidson Street Glide, and a Viper SRT10, to name a few.

Hah wow, what a mix! I think it’s cool to have a bunch of stuff like that and the hellcat definitely fits in, just not with that trash on it haha.

Plot twist: he traded it in, bought a new Vantage , and put the same graphic on it.

The Mopar crowed has to be the corniest, tackiest group of automotive old guys.

You’d think an A-M dealer would be going a little higher class than that...

That’s weird - working ok over here in the US.  And yeah, it’s a weird one for sure.

You would think so - it *kinda* has the appearance that it’s under a clearcoat, TBH.

I’d pay to see that car!

Pretty much would take an asshole to pay money to put that crap on it.

Yeah, I think you’re right - not sure why, exactly.

Exactly. Reminds me of the “Pussy Wagon” from Kill Bill.

And then I’d weep bitter tears immediately after.

I would just point and laugh

Nah - it’s not like it’s a Mustang.

Lol I remember that post. Some creepy stuff. To each his own, I guess- there are some weirdos in the Mustang/ Camero/ Corvette world, too.
