    Sex appeal? I'd dragon my Brick before touching this thing.

    What this car says about you: "Hi, my name is ____________ and I never want to get laid ever again. This is why I've purchased this fine Spira foam thing. Turning around and running away won't offend me much, I'm used to it."

    This Croc inspired twinkie-car has as much sex appeal as the aforementioned Crocs. A man in either isn't getting any.

    I'll have you know that my Saturn has plenty of sex appeal, dammit. It may not be that flashy, glitzy, foam-water-bed-on-wheels sex appeal, but it does have that "hey, I'm a safe guy who is value-minded, practical, loyal, and I don't have anything to compensate for", four traits that are totally on the top of any woman's list.


    At least, that's what I keep telling myself.


    /counts down the one year until GTO time...

    I heard the inventor was really good with this Croc-car, but then he was killed trying to convert a 'Vett Stingray.

    I believe their tech specs were drawn up by the artist from Heavy Metal...


    Apparently the primary use for this vehicle is to find Loc Nar and destroy it. The tape deck will be left as is so that the appropriate sound track music can be enjoyed. Eugene Levy has signed on to do the voice over for the navigation system that will be optional.
