    You'd think we'd seen
 it all by now....
 
     I
 wouldn't put that on my website either if I were PIM.
 
 
 
    Saw this car during it's
 "transformation" and thought the Shelby tail
    lights were a bit out there but still kinda
 fun.  They fired it up for
    me and it
 made one hell of a wicked growl that I don't think
 anyone
    here would dislike.
 
 
 
    The "Tijuana Lambo" front end and
 side scoops were not yet there so
   
 it's pretty shocking to see all that.  They worked long
 and hard on
    that car and someone
 obviously spent a ton of money on this bold, yet
    ultimately tragic experiment in
 "self-taught car design".
 
 
 
   
 "Best of luck recouping anything near your investment
 into this
    comic-strip, kid-toy
 car."
 
 
 
    But hey, maybe a South
 American drug lord will pop out of nowhere and
    snap it up?  Or perhaps Richard
 Rawlings?

    Poor Tom T, he's probably looking down and shaking
 his head in
      disgust.
