Modifying cars can be a fun and exciting way to make your vehicle truly your own, but sometimes, things can go horribly wrong. The Instagram page "[Messed] Up Looking Cars" has a collection of cringe-worthy examples of car owners who took things a little too far. From a giant hamburger-looking vehicle to another car with some duct-taped parts, these modifications will make you question the taste of some enthusiasts.

With that being said, it's a cautionary tale for car enthusiasts everywhere, a reminder that sometimes less is more when it comes to customizing your ride. So, if you're considering a mod for your car, it's best to think twice and take a look at some of the most popular tweets to avoid making the same mistakes as these unfortunate car owners.

    When it comes to modifying your car, it's important to remember that it's not just about making it look cool, it's also about making sure you're not breaking any laws, compromising safety, or lowering the resale value. It's like a game of "Modification Roulette" - you never know what you're gonna get.

    First things first, make sure you're not breaking any laws with your mod choices. From the size of your tires to the height of your ride, there are a lot of laws to keep in mind. And trust me, you don't want to be the guy (or girl) getting pulled over with an illegal modification.

    Safety is also a big concern when it comes to modifying your car. Sure, that spoiler may make your car look like it's ready for the racetrack, but it could also make it harder to handle at high speeds. And that loud exhaust may sound cool, but it could be dangerous for pedestrians, especially those with hearing impairments.

    Clever, unless the car flips because that block will decapitate someone.

    And let's not forget about resale value. Some mods, like a new paint job or performance upgrade, can actually increase the value of your car. But others, like custom body kits or aftermarket rims that aren't popular among buyers, could make it harder to sell your car in the future.

    Right blinker/indicator "click click click click" now the left one "oink oink oink oink"

    Finally, remember that modifying your car is a big investment, both in terms of time and money. Make sure you're choosing mods that are worth the investment, and not just following the latest trends. Because, let's be real, those spinners may have been cool in the early 2000s, but now they're just a reminder of a questionable fashion choice.

    Can’t tell whether it’s right or left hand drive. Either way, watching it park would be a treat.

    Technically, it's middle hand drive (right hand drive on the car on our right)

    Never seen it with a complete vehicle before, but I've seen plenty of trailers that are half of the same model of car that is towing it.

    Compared to others on this list, this one's tame. Never hated the PT Cruiser (most do though) and the 2.4 GT Turbo at least had some decent power.
