I couldnt do it. My car is not show quality, but when it gets dirty it annoys me. No point in letting your car go to hell.

I think that is what a "sleeper" is all about.

I would like to buy one for daily driving kinda beat up. Parking in parking lots and not give a dam who parks next to me, Then start it up and it sounds like a race car.... Man I gotta start looking around for one!!!

My car now doesnt see more than 1000 miles a year, so one to drive everyday would be fun.

I keep mine clean as can be. No dents or anything but when the paint is finally just too tired I'm going to flat black that bitch for sure.

id rather have both looks and performance. as said above, presentable and fast. having a beat up car thats fast is like eating an ugly ***** that tastes like jolly ranchers.

I consider mine a beater. its got over 100,000 miles, sits outside all year, rarely wash it. its still presentable but its got a bunch of paint chips, scratches, a few dents. But it can pull the wheels off the ground so I really don't give a **** what it looks like

hmm...ok I'll bite.

This is a total loss car making a come back just like all of mine so please remember its not done, and its gone through a lot. I cut the 3/4 front offf welded new frame section on, new body pannels and a full engine/tranny explosion.

This is a h/c/i/s cat with a full suspension under it, so it should be very fast (going for mid 11's) all n/a no spray, it jsut doesnt look very pretty

hood, paint bumper and it'll look stock....which is really what a "sleeper" is.
"looks stock, but is fast as hell"
