37 Cursed Cars That Will Run You Off The Road
Somewhere out there, a perfectly good Honda Civic got turned into a low-budget Batmobile. Elsewhere, a Ford Focus now sports a gigantic spoiler shaped like a slice of pizza. Welcome to the baffling, hilarious, and occasionally terrifying world of cursed cars—funny cars that blur the line between “art” and “what in the actual hell?”
Cursed car memes have been rolling across the internet for years, combining the spectacle of bad taste with the joy of spotting absurdity in the wild. They hit the sweet spot of automotive humor, weird design fails, and those “just found this in a Walmart parking lot” moments. These creations are too ridiculous not to share—modified with parts from three different decades, painted with airbrushed dragons, or sporting rims that could double as wind turbines.
And yet, there’s a strange charm to it all. Maybe it’s because these funny car photos represent pure, unfiltered personal expression. Nobody asked for a car with a chandelier hanging from the rearview mirror, but somebody needed to make that happen. And thanks to social media, cursed rides get immortalized faster than they can fail their next safety inspection.
What makes these finds so addictive is the unpredictability. Scroll through any “cursed car” subreddit or Instagram tag, and you’ll see something you can’t unsee—like a rusted-out pickup with a full swimming pool in the bed, or a vintage VW Beetle turned into a hot tub. The weirder, the better, and the internet just keeps delivering.
