Spotted - Underbody Neons on a......

I was driving around tonight in an area with a couple viaducts (so I could listen to my exhaust ) and what should I see? Underbody neons, on an EARLY 80's Lincoln Town car! [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG] The neon was hard to miss because it was mounted way low and outside, so the tubes were clearly visable. This thing was a total POS. I bet the neon tubes served a dual purpose; To make the car look 'pimp', and to hold the car together. [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

I've also seen underbody neons on a Jeep Grand Cherokee. The neons must've altered the engine speed because the guy didn't like driving slow through the parking lot. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG]

(both of these sad applications of underbody neons were spotted in the Bridgeview/Oak Lawn IL area.)

Just thought I'd share.

I'm just sayin' neons just don't belong on some cars/trucks, IMO. (The Town Car was quite a hooptie)

I agree nothing wrong with neons, its the owners that have unresolved lifelong issues.

If you think that's bad, go visit Streets of Woodfield in Schaumburg, on Friday and Saturday nights.
