In my lifetime, there has never been a single day in which I've wanted a Pontiac Sunfire, but a one of a kind tuner donated by Dallas Star defenseman Matt Niskanen is almost cool enough to own. Niskanen has owned the 2001 Sunfire since he was 15 years old, and the rookie kept it even after making the big bucks in pro hockey. The Sunfire was given a $12,000 makeover by Niskanen's more famous teammates, and Matt is donating the black and white coupe to benefit the family trust of ticket sales director Matt McKee. McKee died of cancer at age 33, and the team is pitching in by donating memorabilia and personal belongings to help his wife and young daughter.

Bidding is currently at $15,000, but if you're going to drop coin on this one of a kind Sunfire, you might want to be a fan of the Dallas Stars. Besides a tricked out sound system equipped with navigation, sub-woofers and black 18 inch rims, the Sunfire has a decidedly Stars theme. Hit the jump to view a video showing how the Sunfire was pimped out. Thanks for the tip, Scooter!

Alright, so we're going to try something a little different for us. We'll periodically pull a car-related photo from the news, and ask you to come up with captions to fit the image in 'Comments.' Prizes? Ahh, we wouldn't dare corrupt the artistic process with something so materialistic-- our readers are too smart for that, and would see right through us. 

Take your best shot. We'll even start you off with one...

"On second thought, Walter mused... perhaps retrofitting Ethel's Pontiac with a honeycomb grille wasn't the best of plans."
