The first time I post in the stupid poo poo on cars thread? It gets closed... so I'm cross posting this poo poo.

I love how the edge of the roll bar is just welded onto that little bracket on the edge of the bed. How can anyone expect something like that to hold a vehicle up in a rollover?

I don't think it's welded, I think it's bolted to the inner fibreglass tray.

Unfortunately, the car looked like a giant black dildo from the side.


I've seen MAD MAN around too, wonder if it's a couple? Is it awesome?


He's literally in two lanes. And continued to drive in two lanes.


A little hard to tell, but it's a shitbox in carbon fibre vinyl.

It's 928 with mods all the way to the hood. Then it's just something else entirely. What is that?

On closer inspection of the front wheel well, it would appear that the 928 is still under there somewhere.

How does $13,800 sound? Before tax?

Oh come off it. That rear end looks amazing, what are you people seeing? If it looks anything like those renderings I'll move to the loving states and buy one. It looks like a proper car, not a wedge of plastic.

If that's the case how do your enormous trucks get around? I've seen those Aussie road trains on youtube, they're huge. Is it just a case of them not being allowed on those roads?

I think it might have had duel rear wheels making it wider again. But generally semi-trailers do just fine, even if it is a little tight. A road train is probably not allowed on most roads, but I really don't know.

Parking is fun...
