Good gad it’s the “Homer” come to life. Yikes. The Audi is cool though.
Bubble dohm!
I like the idea, but plastic just destroys it.
No plastic swoopy shit. Swoopy shit doesn’t work unless you can see why. And even then, the question is “why so much plastic”?
Actually that’s the problem. Did they want a concave chassis for clearance? Because that’s not working. It looks unfinished.
Just heard the news.
FUCK Speed channel. Nascar has been DOA since Dale died. Indy has been over since Rick Mears’ days.
We want DTM, BTC, Aussie V8 supercars, Baja 1000, World of Champions, and more tech/how to shows and of course “The Car Show”
Adam’s Tshirt color coordinates with the Rally Fighter – nice touch.
Where did Adam’s cars go when the studio remodel took over the garage space?
Met the Local motors guys at sema while I was drunk at the Bellagio….great guys and awesome car…
May I suggest blurring the license plates in future photos?
Thanks for talking about the Top Gear segment. When Tanner broke the Rally Fighter and they opened the hood, my wife would not stop yelling about the ‘cold air’ style intake and how someone who knows cars would make such a huge oversight it driving it through water.
BTW- shifter boots remind me of a scrotum; just kinda scrunched up and not very elegant.
