    Somehow the extra wide stance reminds me of an AMC Pacer. Think they will have a Pierre Cardin or Levi Strauss edition?

    I've been looking at it, and I've made a decision.


    With one simple trip to the hardware store, this can be a decent little car. Buy a framing hammer (to destroy the hideous front/rear bumper skins), a few rattle-cans (primer, white, clearcoat, couple of each) and some masking tape to cover the window edges. Just throw tarps around the wheels.


    Pry the badge off the lot golfcart on your way out the door, and you're good to go.

    The key issue here is the price. How much will this teen-age wet dream cost? What other vehicles at about the same price could you buy instead? High school kids are going to love it.

    This is arguably the closest I have ever seen a concept resemble a concept sketch. Thanks to the proportions, the uber-low-profile tires actually work well in real life. But I'd hate to think what it will look like after the ride is softened for mass consumption--add another inch of wheel well gap and double the tire profile on 1"-2" smaller rims.

    @aSoundofSleep is drinking and Jaloping: Funny you mention that. First real job out of college (well, 8 months out of college, post-9/11) was in account service at an agency. I fumbled along, working for peanuts, and was ultimately canned for a combination of factors:


    1. I spend way too much time hanging out with the writers, playing hackey sack, riding razor scooters, and not talking to clients.
    2. I sent a company-wide funny email that somebody in power didn't find funny.


    So all the advertising I do now exists only in my head. Unless Al Navarro is hiring.

    I can feel the anger rising within me for no particular reason.


    It's probably the shape. And the color.

    The human retina contains approximately 150 million photoreceptors, 9 million of which are cones used primarily for detail and colour vision. Please stop hurting mine.

    @saab E666 wants Canadian C(l)ub(e): Those airport fire trucks are neon yellow-green because that color is most visible to humans.


    Why they painted this thing that color is truly beyond me. If it's due to the vehicle's size, I guess I need to build a blindingly-lit motorcycle.
