That is hilarious. And they removed the windshield wipers for increased aerodynamics. Look at the thing in the end.

I like the removal of the back end of the car; it really gives it an 'aggressive' look

That's gotta be a VW. the \X/ totally gives it away. I've got a 1988 Renault R21 rally car. Good luck even finding a photo of one on the internet. I've tried many times and failed. Simply put, it's a stupid looking French car.

Close, its a VW scirocco...their sports car from the 80's. It was either put a scirocco in there, or try and make a 1970 bug.


20 points to anyone who can make me a bug like i did the scirocco.

(Refering to the stripped down Mazda MX-6) That is perhaps the funniest and coolest car I have ever seen. But, that's probably all I'll be able to afford!
