Trick Or Treat: Toyota MR2 In Porsche Carrera GT Costume
This Toyota MR2 dressed to look like a Porsche Carrera GT isn't going to trick anybody. It may have Porsche badges glued on, but they're not enough to distract you from the sickening proportions and ridiculous build quality. We haven't seen a supercar kit this bad since the Fierrari Enzo. The Porsche costume is mounted on a salvage-title 2003 Toyota MR2 Spyder with a modest 138 HP 1.8-liter four-banger. So how much would you pay for such an exotic motor vehicle? Well, the current bid is $12,000...but the reserve hasn't even been met. More »

Factory Five Racing Launch '33 Coupe Kit
Massachusetts based kit car manufacturer Factory Five Racing unveiled their fourth model at their annual owners gathering, appropriately titled Moochfest '08. Our friend Nick was there to report, "On Saturday, FFR unveiled the most badass thing ever— their '33 Coupe. They were more than a little cagey about revealing details about it, but said it is stiffer and lighter than the Cobra [replica], has a 22" longer wheelbase, and can take tons of different motors. It also has independent front suspension with clever control arms, and the prototype had 3-link rear suspension. It will totally fly—even on a track. Now even ZZ Top can enjoy 300' drifts."
