Like the guy said, "If you dont like these things then dont wast my time."

I definitely will not 'wast' his time....

What a monstrosity.

I've seen this car driving around Olympia. It's not that loud (at least in city traffic) but it certainly causes people to look (and maybe say WTF is that?)

Maybe the guy can use some of the sales proceeds for spelling lessons.

Sadly though, I can see some styling similarities to the "Transformers" Vette showcar... Especially in the rear end.

I wonder if it would look better painted in black.

I like the "Drive it like you stole it" bit.

That body kit alone is probably the greatest anti-theft device I've ever seen.

Wonder if it's actually a pretty decent car, but made unsellable by virtue of the "IMSA" styling? Maybe this was the car built for the remake of "Corvette Summer" that never happened?

At least the wheels are shiny.

Actually, I've always liked the Greenwood Corvettes and many other IMSA cars from that era. The rear spoiler on this one looks pretty ridiculous though.

I think the only color that might help would be camouflage.

Definitely wrong, looks like a red beaver with a bit of tail. Chop the rear and re-mod and someone might have a fun car.
