An advantage of an incredibly ugly car is that it deverts attention away from owners who were not hit with the ugly stick at birth but were nearly beaten to death with it.
For example, I am not skinny but neither am I obese. Most folks call me "thick" with equal layers of lard and muscle. Sure, I will never be a model but, the "bad guys" think 3 or 4 times before messing with me. However, when in the company of true lardos, those with more than ample girth, in comparison to those folks I look quite svelte. With the ever-growing number of lardsters in the USA it is easy to find those "tons of fun" to stand next to and look quite nice in comparison.
The same is true with but*-ugly cars. The homeliest, good looks-challanged chap can stand next to his conveyance and not appear quite so homely.
A great marketing tool considering how many homely people are filling the land.
But, never let it be said I do not appreciate the beauty-challanged!!!! For, without the homely beauty would mean nothing!!!!! If all folks were as devastatingly attractive as I am then looking oh-so-good would be meaningless!!!!!
Thank you, all you ugly people. Your arduous efforts, or, natural inclinations, are appreciated.
Uhhhhh.... oh yeah. Ugly cars.
Right.
