I wonder if it has those little barf bags in the dash or seat backs like air planes do?

The car wasn't (and isn't) supposed to be pretty- it's a showoff piece for a custom audio installer to demonstrate what he's capable of. The "Fishman" does a lot of good work.

Chris, no doubt he does "good work" and has a very vivid imagination. But in this case he displayed bad taste. Com'on, honestly.......

Why does everyone have such a hard time understanding this is a "Show Car" --- it's meant to catch your eye --- what's the big deal?

If you go to his site you will see he did the car in 2002 and the pictures are nothing like it is now, I wonder if he did all the work or someone else.

oh, obviously I think the things nasty as hell, but he thought that as well. It was just a way to showoff all the ability he gained from having air powered movement. He basically just used it to go as extreme as possible.. is it cool? well, in a weird car audio way, kind of.. is it a corvette i'd own? f no.

I know what you're saying, but i just wanted to point out it's not some 17 year old's project gone wrong...
