Don't tell me you wouldn't want to see one of these or a couple of these, or be driving one yourself on the roads. I DO!! (Obviously.)

Does it have machine gun/missile/smokescreen capabilities?

I, for one, am currently going apeshit over it.... This is the 'killer app' that will make capitalism and wage slavery viable again...! (Etc.)(*yawn*)

Okay, so it's just small enough to exclude your (now-former) friends, but not quite large enough to actually run them over....

And isn't something this cool supposed to have only *three* wheels??? I mean what the fuck is up with that?!!! It pivots like a roller-coaster carriage but ultimately hedges on total-cool.

In conclusion -- *not* divesting from my Boeing stock for this until it gets those machine gun / missile / smokescreen capabilities that's on *everyone's* holiday shopping list....

I hate the direction the car industry is going. :(

There used to be nice cars, now it's just....shit.

It does have mysterious D-Pad buttons on the top of the yoke, so there could be a HUD that comes up for you to switch from machine gun/missile/etc. :D

It looks like an arcade machine made into a car.

I wouldn't want to see the aftermath of that in a high speed collision with a large vehicle.

I imagine it's not terribly different from a motorcycle accident.

I want one, but this is more than likely a prototype. I doubt it'll ever see a commercial release.

When I showed it to my roommates, they all said it was a car specifically made for gamers. :lol: I wish it went commercial, that'd be sweet. But I'd have to buy the EU/Japanese version because the US version would probably suck. :thumbdown:

Why does that car look like its on some council estate in Glasgow? We don't want scallies getting their hands on a stockpile of nuclear materials.

Also:

The Acid House (1998)

Three twisted tales from the seamy side of Scotland and the mind of Irvine Welsh. The Granton Star Cause: in the same day a young Leith lad is dumped by his football team, his girlfriend and his parents, arrested and beaten up by the police and turned into a fly by God, whom he meets in a pub. The Soft Touch: a man is too soft to do anything when his wife moves in with the thug upstairs. The Acid House: while tripping on acid, Coco Bryce is struck by lightning, causing him to switch bodies with a newborn baby.

It's funny you should say that, since the nuclear fuel used in that design is thorium which, in addition to being three times as abundant as uranium, is a hell of a lot harder if not downright impossible to turn into nuclear explosives.

Further, unless the "scallies" have lead-lined protective clothing, they'll soon stop fucking around with nuclear materials once they start feeling the effects radiation sickness and/or heavy metal poisoning.

Personally, if you're stupid enough to attempt to dismantle a live nuclear reactor in your own garage, you deserve whatever you get, which in this case is ionising radiation-induced sterility and death.
