That car is on my short list for "ugliest ever." Other than the Monte Carlo, that family of GM cars (G bodies?) was kind of boring and middling, but the "down-on-his-luck pimp" design ethos of the Monte Carlo is just embarrassing.

I really don't understand the appeal of any of those cars, and yet I still see them driving around.

FWIW I think the original (2004+) BMW 1 series suffered from the same design problem. It's a Mini-Me version of a successful design, and it looks profoundly ridiculous.

My French ancestors left Saint Domingue in the 1830’s and settled in New Orleans. I have great memories growing up there, now I live elsewhere and don’t care if I ever see that place again. They can have it.

Compared to this the Monte Carlo was a beauty. LINK

Tacky.

Couldn't find art by a legal citizen of the USA, regardless of color?

So is this temporary.

I don’t understand why they don’t just take the column down and put up a giant flag pole with a giant American flag.

It's a Mexican artist celebrating white catholic iconography.

I personally can't wait for the proverbial shite to hit the fan when the black artists of new orleans realize they didn't get the money and there is a Sacred Heart with a Rex crown now in the middle of the route.

If you want to write the check they will likely do it.

Little push to remove it or make something that is more appealing to the homeless.

Gosh, I sure do hope none of the residents find out that the crown is made of real gold.

Do you say that in every post?

I mean, you looking to be a victim is awesome.

You are very good at it.
