I saw that. Someone went to a lot of trouble to make something really bad.

Well, that would be no easy feat. I was hoping that video was longer. There is a lot of weirdness on that car, was hoping for a bit of an explanation. Not that I expect an explanation to provide any real insights, but to confirm that things are really as bad as I perceived them to be.

Why not just buy an Elan?

What a lot of expense to create something already available.

Seeing it idle means nothing to me. I'm not convinced it will drive. They'd have to show me it will drive down the road, take turns, and stop. But then I'm not that interested...

Because they are working on that project - putting the engine in the back.  :FUNNY:

Every time I see this thing I notice something new to bewilder me.   :deadhorse:   This time it was the engine driven fan with nothing but open space around it.  Do they really expect it to pull any air through the rad?  :confused:
