'THIS new supercar looks out of this world - so no wonder its called the Extra Terrestrial Vehicle.
The futuristic £75,000 motor - aka the ETV - is based on the same platform as a modest, run-of-the-mill Chevrolet.
But this is where the similarities end with the sci-fi inspired ETV looking like nothing else on the road.'

LOL!!....I just saw a Nature show on squid the other day, they will attack something, thinking it’s food, wrap their tentacles all over it ‘tasting’ the object, and then automatically let go and leave if it doesn’t taste right.....A Mexican fisherman was attacked while swimming to the shore from his disabled boat and was attacked by a school of giant squid. He had sucker rings all over him, but they left him just as suddenly as they attacked. I guess they don’t like ‘spicy’ food!..............
Can you spot the ‘car’ in this picture?............
Excellent!
Daisy Dukes are back!
“What would you do with it once you got it up there? ;-)”
Ha! It does sort of resemble a suppository, doesn’t it? Or a cockroach. I’d sure hate to try to clean the inside of that windshield.
What?
Well finally a good picture of the car.
You need a special tool. For only $5099 they’ll sell you one! LOL
That thing looks similar to the Sandman groundcar in the Logan’s Run TV series.

Speed bumps are just the start of the idiocy of that car.
That car won’t be able to go up any driveway.
You can’t get a jack underneath that thing even with all the tires inflated fully let only if one of them is flat.
And wheel covers went out of fashion for a good reasons, because they’re a massive PITA when you have to change a tire. They get coated with mud and corrosion on the inside and become cemented in place making them impossible to remove. You can’t even add air to the tires with them on the car. And they radically limit the turning radius of the car or else you have to radically inset the spindles and waste a huge amount of space in the engine compartment and make the wheelbase narrower which reduces stability.
Blah, blah, blah,... I could go on forever about how stupid this car is.
Can you spot the car in the pic at #40? You have to look very carefully................
The potholes & gutters in my town would destroy such a low-to-the-ground vehicle.
The builders must think our roads are smooth a glass.
Wildly impractical.
Ugly takes work, really ugly takes work and money.
ROFLOL!
Thank goodness I was only drinking water and not anything stronger.
If I'm going to spend that kind of money on a kit, it's going to be a GT-40 or Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe.
We’ve got a split decision!
(and, no.....I won’t say a hung jury)
Oops.
What’s the damage this time?
Keyboard or monitor?
