i really thought this was a genuine Ferrari. my respect goes out to the skilled craftsman who created this piece of art. there is too much to even discuss about this thing, but i particularly like the furnace vents(?) and the exposed screws holding the (?) "ground effects" on.

another angle of the trainwreck for your viewing pleasure.....

I was going to say that that looked like something we'd put together in our set shop, but, that'd be an insult to our set designers. They once made a 57 Caddy convertialbe out of a 73 DeVille using styrofoam (to create fins and other body parts) and sawing off the top with a sawzall. Then, covered it with pink petal-paper (it was created to pull a parade float carrying "Elvis" and other "stars."). They also used salad bowls, gator foam, pipe insulation and other bits and pieces to recreate the "Back to the Future" DeLorean. I think there's a pic on our web site www.fireandrain.com.

Well, I was wrong. Since we changed our name, we've changed the stuff on our site. BUT, if you go to the "case studies" and watch the quicktime movies, you'll get to HEAR ME!

(My voice does the "descriptives" for each case)

looks like an old style rx-7 painted yellow with a bunch of stuff glued to it...they could have at least started with a fiero or something

PS: Not trying to be racist, but everytime I see some car with modifications that are so tasteless they fall into the humorous catergory, its ALWAYS a latin guy driving it. Always.

Notice that the vents in front of the front wheels and behind the rear wheels look EXACTLY like those that you would find in your house for your AC/Heat ducting... they even have the slot for the directional adjusters...

Nice video Randy, I was shocked you sound more QVC than redneck

I believe it was an 80's Supra.

Took years of training to get that "twang" out of my voice.

I especially like the reverse vents on the sides of the door. It's kinda like hooked-up body side molding. That car is a late 80's/early 90's Supra. Not a bad looking car, why did they have to turn it into THAT

you're being generous calling that a kit. most of that junk came from Home Depot.
