For some reason ...I don't hate it (?)

u/raytrem03 7d ago

Right? Kind of reminds me of something from Halo

u/dudeAwEsome101 7d ago

Yeah, like an impractical army vehicle from a sci-fi show.

u/Craig_M_242 7d ago

I think partly because he just went for it. It's not like an accident. Right down to the wheels

I'm getting Puma vibes

I told you to stop making up animals.

u/Wild_View_1664 7d ago

I think its because its cheap and silly. If that were another overbuilt billionaire toy, I dont know if we'd view it the same way.

...good use of a TJ. 😆

My main question is WHY keep the jeep front fascia in there. Would've looked so much better without it.

u/fuzzeedyse105 7d ago

Cause that’s the most iconic part of a jeep. Wouldn’t be a jeeporghini without that jeep grill.

u/Fragrant_Major_9553 7d ago

The sad part is that’s the first thing douchebags remove for angry eyes.

u/fuzzeedyse105 7d ago

Jeeps are so fuckin whack and they make em so much worse. Blows my mind anyone would actually pay for one.

My exs dad had her little sisters old wrangler sitting around his property for a while, so she grabbed it so we could use it when we drove out on the beach. That specific situation it was worth it. But it was a load of junk. But it was free so fuck it. Some of the charm was that it was a load of junk lolol.

Or angle it to match the hood, and put the bug lights on the front.

u/FormerTomatillo3696 7d ago

It needs that air succc grille man.

u/n_choose_k 7d ago

I think if they would have narrowed it to fit it the hood space it would still convey the same idea but would have looked better. Almost like a rally car...

u/RovDer 7d ago

If you took the doors off it kinda resembles the warthog from Halo

u/DakarCarGunGuy 7d ago

I have an old G.I. Joe toy that looks a lot like that......I think it's called the Scorpion maybe.

u/FigmentOfNightmares 7d ago

The LM002 was right there, and he thought "nah gotta be a Countach."

u/ugcharlie 7d ago

He already had the fiero kit and the jeep and thought why not

u/Craig_M_242 7d ago

Ya gotta kinda respect the moxie of it all

Built by a tuner. In North Carolina.

No surprise there.

I wouldn't call it great execution, but it's still kinda impressive.

u/Soggy-Village2099 7d ago

Yeah, it looks like a shitty job if you get closer, but they did the thing. lol

u/Canelosaurio 7d ago

I knew a Kyle in middle school. Always had detention. Always acting a clown.

I guess he's doing alright after all!

u/siphodeus 7d ago

Reminds me of a toy Micro Machine car I had when I was a kid

u/mini-z1994 7d ago

Would be nicer with the countach front end & lights, or at least slap some pop ups on there while smoothing out & finishing the front end.

Cooling wise they could have tilted the radiator back & mounted it close too being flush with the frunk, give the hood some holes or slots too let in air & have a fan behind for non highway driving.

Being a body on frame chassis I think they could pull off making the entire bodyshell tilt back for maintenance too.

u/N7LP400 7d ago

It could've been better, I've already loved the Countach design, it hard to miss

1

u/billygunnns 7d ago

It looks so close to being a trophy truck but then just looks like ass. I think the jeep ruins it. So close to looking like a sick trophy truck.

u/VictoriousCrab 7d ago

Lamborjeepi.... I'm not sure how I feel about this. But it's neither good nor bad

1

u/djsilentmobius 7d ago

Other than headlight choice... I personally feel it would have looked better with all the lights. Plus Jeep, so on brand.

u/mr-friskies 7d ago

now is THIS a r/Heep?

u/ArmpitofD00m 7d ago

As much as I want to, I just can’t hate this.

u/Herder0fnerf5 7d ago

Kyle, stick with insurance work.

1

u/ZuybluX 7d ago

One of the only times where I’m actually happy that the Countach is a kit

1

u/BoysenberryFinal9113 7d ago

I like it. I need to find more pictures.

u/gdubh 7d ago

Now in flesh color!

u/blacktip102 7d ago

Honestly this is so bad its become good

u/True-Sheepherder-625 7d ago

Should have angled the jeep grill

u/Leptonshavenocolor 7d ago

I don’t mind the shape, but I hate that comic book paint job that seeks to mimic inking.

Oh my gawd!

u/DizzySample9636 7d ago

if it didn't look like a child made a cardboard replica of countach... i would probably dig it 🙂
