Should have called it the impossible challenge.... :D

you can never make a prius look good


Jeff Dunham said...: I don't own a silver prius, or a black one. its bright blue. But not that kind of a blue one, but more of a Bluue one (in gay voice)
 
I have an all-black one (body, wing and wheels are all black), I'll see what I can come up with. (Did I mention my Prius does 150 mph?)

they're like bulldogs. the uglier the better!

i'd enter but no more gt4..
 
Lol, go easy with the Prius, it's the one car of the 2000's this far that's guaranteed to became a classic (is already?).

Actually we had a Prius week once before, I believe I have some shots left.

For all the wrong reasons though. It's nowhere near as green as people make it out to be, it puts out very little pollution when being driven, but lots when being made and also puts out a lot of smug. The only reason it's become so well known is because celebrities buy them to make people think they care.

If they really cared they would buy a small 2nd hand diesel.
 
The thing with the Prius is that people keep bashing it for being not green to produce. What I'm annoyed with with most of these people is that they forget that Toyota is at least trying to implement new ways for people to produce less emissions while driving. The Prius is no long-term solution, but it is a car that can be viewed upon as a guide to a solution. At least Toyota puts money into technology that produces less emissions, unlike American manufacturers that continue to bring new cars to the market that are fitted with 5.0L V8 engines, and that do not sell.
 
I beg to differ! :sly:

I have already got an idea, something old school Bram Turismo-ish. The thing is with this theme is that it's a great one because we are centering around a car that we otherwise would never use. I love themes that implement cars that are otherwise rarely seen around GTP :)
 

Final Entry

@ The Grand Canyon (just give it a push)
Best I could do with that "Car"...
 
I believe that ricing out Priuses by painting them pink or purple or whatever that colour is; having them black with black wings and weird rims, isn't going to increase the "good looks" points. I would suggest going for a more normal look, guys. Just my opinion.
 
Thanks guys 👍

Personally I feel very frustrated over it. The fact that I've seem to lose my 440 Charger tricks make me feel absolutely jealous and gutted whenever I take a look at his 350Z shot at this spot :indiff: I've been fiddling around with the levels, removing and making new layers a dozen times, but the tones and colours are still way off. In fact, I think this is the worst image I've produced in months :ill:

Having trouble making up your mind, Swiss? You've changed your avatar three times in the last five minutes.

Here's my entry...I'll probably change it later.

The elephant jumping on the trampoline was too big! I really couldn't make up my mind. I was bored last night.

Makes me wanna "Go (Not So) Green" 👍 It's a little rougher around the edged than a usual Brammy shot. But nonetheless, quite nice.
 
Don't be so hard on yourself, Bram Turismo :) It's a very good shot in my opinion and you should be happy with it, too 👍

Good, but the purple sticks out a little. Better than alot of the jobs other people have done 👍

Thanks, kinda went for unique and bright, if the color blinds you, you won't have to look at that car anymore, lol. (should have toned down some of the pinks that are jumping out on the hood) The shadow on the front-end bugs me too.

I believe that my Push the Purple Prius pic, is far better than the -nothing, you came up with. Enter a pic yourself before you try to tear down someone who actually entered. Do you have any suggestions?? Other than normal, what else would you suggest?? Or are you just sniping??



Bram Turismo

Myself, I had nothing but idea blocks with the prius, I even went jumping the corkscrew to try and come up with something. What an unremarkable car... Still your worst is better than most people's best!!
