Sacrilege! What the hell was this person thinking?! This is like forcibly giving Katy Perry the Mike Tyson face tattoo. If this is some rich guy’s $250,000 joke, I’m going to kick him in his faberge eggs. Despite its physical handicaps on the road, the Alfa 8c is in my top 5 favorite cars of all time. I love it. I think it’s the best-looking car built in decades;better looking than any woman I will ever marry. It also sounds perfect, has an amazing interior and it’s fast enough in a straight line to keep me entertained. To quote the great poet Seth McFarlane, “I hope you fornicate yourself with an iron stick.” More shouting after the jump.
I think there’s 3 possibilities for who ordered this car:
1. A rich redneck who wanted to buy an Eye-talion sports car but had to add a lil southern drawl to it. Y’know, to make sure folks don’t think he’s evolved into a person of class and taste, who educated himself and stepped forward in life forgotten his roots. Holy shit, maybe it was Sarah Palin…
2. A rich European -probably Russian- who grew up buying Dukes of Hazzard DVDs from a boot-legger. After making millions by 100% legal and ethical means he ordered an 8c, but as he moved the mouse to “Buy Now” he glanced at his childhood heroes. With Smirnoff-ian fortitude he emailed Alfa, “Give me ze Alfa Compeh-tee-shun car but make look like Gggeneral Lee. Yes, with flag. No I don’t now what means, but I like the colors.” This person simultaneously took a shit on both Italian cars and the American heartland.Bravo.
3. Some super rich asshat bought it to show his friends, as one of the world’s most expensive bad jokes. “How hilarrrrious is that, bro?” He probably earned his money by being the product of his father’s entrepreneurial ejaculate, because taste like this smells of a juvenile with too much money.
Whatever the reason for this monstrosity, I hope this car soon finds itself accosted by a guard rail at high speed so it may be put to rest (Without harming the driver. Ok, maybe a little bit). Or maybe Sarah McLaughlin can sing a song about it, and ask us to adopt it and nurture it back to it’s natural color.

At the end of the day, it's an 8C that someone painted which means it can be painted back. Funny thing, it probably performs as good as the original General Lee and doesn't jump the ol' creek near as good……
Those look like the 4C
Why the hell would you screw up such a great car that way? What a nimrod…
This is the MOST childish post I have EVER seen on this site. I've been watching for a year or so, and have usually either liked or been neutral to anything posted here, but, god damn, this is the cake.
Personally, I'm more offended about the parking job these three nitwits did rather than the General Lee look-alike.
Come on, so what if someone took a car that isn't the General and made it look like the General? How many non Trans Ams or Mustangs were modified to look like KITT or KARR? How many "CARS" were made to look like the A-Team van? Do you own it? Do you drive it? Did you put your money into it? No? Then STFU.
People are going to do what they want with their car, legal or otherwise. If this is from the factory, then the guy has money to spare, which he/she earned, and decided that they'd have some joy in their life, either that, someone at the factory decided to spice things up for themselves while giving business to the company. I admit some people make their cars drool worthy by others, but most people are going to make their cars look and feel the way THEY want to, and they REALLY don't give a rats ass what you think.
I'm crying right now… 8c is one of my absolute favorite cars of all time and he turns it into General Lee… what an ass!
I love the automotive passion and this is a great site, however… Go create a political blog if you want to interject your opinions on the politicians. Please…
