Donut King Nissan GT-R begs the question: What's the worst possible livery?

We've never been too hot on the whole "Question of the Day" thing. Most of you seem perfectly content voicing your opinions in the comment section already, but the Donut King Nissan GT-R had us wondering what's the worst livery you've ever seen? We're pretty sure that the hot-Pepto-pink of the Targa Tasmania-bound GT-R takes the saccharin-sweet cake, but we're sure there's more. Post your pics and links below.

2008 Tokyo Auto Salon: Nissan GT500 GT-R live!

The return of Godzilla to SuperGT kicked off last week with the official unveiling of Nissan's GT500 GT-R and our colleagues at Autoblog Chinese snapped off a dozen shots of the race-ready coupe in its new black and red livery. Nissan hasn't released details on what will be powering the new GT-R racer, but speculation and rumor says that Nissan might utilize the 4.5-liter V8 that's currently under the hood of its 350Z GT500 vehicle. We balk at the idea of not utilizing the 3.8-liter twin-turbo'd V6 found in the showroom version of the GT-R, but we can understand if the new motor might not be up to snuff yet for the punishment it would have to endure in SuperGT.
