Faith in humanity increasing. We need a daily dose of good news. Just like Hoon of the Day, QOTD, and AOTD have become Jalop staples we need a daily dose of good news. Now I can go home tonight and share a good story instead of a story about something someone did in Florida.

This is Marco Srour, CEO of Parigi Group, which has a licensing/distribution agreement with PUMA in the U.S. (hence, presumably, the Puma logo). And the car is a 2/3 scale replica of a 50s Ferrari F2 car, which seems sort of pointless to me but actually looks like a hell of a lot of fun.

Looks are subjective, but "poor handling, small engine"? What are you talking about????
This driver clearly doesn't suck. If you watch any racing or even look at the tire marks from this video you should know good racers always drive on the rumble strips because its the fastest path.

To me, the car represents having fun instead of setting the best lap time. And yet at the same time, you can still set the fastest time with it. So you get both perks. And who cares if he is not the best driver, he is having the most fun ever!

At Parmer Lane and Mopac, I was trying to get onto Mopac during rush hour and this slower car in front of me refused to do any semblance of keeping up with traffic. I managed to finally pass her, and she was driving along, head in her textbook, highlighting things as she went. Then, flipped me off because I was…

The Lotus Elan. I don't know what inspired them to make a front wheel drive roadster, but they did, and it handled like a boss.

The car did have some influences; the hooded fenders above the headlights were used on the 1957-'60 Imperial (and the hidden lights were on an early proposal for 1960); the taillight treatment went into the 1957-'58 DeSoto; the instrument cluster design was worked into the 1961 Plymouth; the separate vertical blade…

Karma...Can't hide from it...Can't name your cars after it.

That PEPCON blast was madness, it was like a nuke going off. I'd be the same way, if it's in an industrial area, I'm putting in some distance.

That is, indeed, a wonderful looking thing that I have never heard of. A lot of people have been asking "why do I come to Jalopnik?" It's for stuff like this.

When you asked that question, this came to mind. The Subaru Forester ad a few years back.

Looks like The Hoff is suiting up to go make a hit. Maybe on the person applied the Cobra name to this Pinto.

This is indeed the ultimate cokehead car. Coke was THE drug of the '80s, and this was THE car of the '80s. Hell, this thing has so many flat planes, you could do a line off of anywhere on it. Lift up the door and use the side mirror if you want to. I do like the inclusion of the front spoiler

So, does that spoiler block all the light from the headlamps at night?

I'm pretty sure that the DMC-12 is just automatically the number one Cokehead car. Everybody else go home, that's the thread right there.

I was about to post this one.

I'm really tempted to go with the Lagonda.

too soon?

Pretty cool story about Miles being saved by a "White Motherfu*@er" who found the jazz emperor in Cali. with the dash of a crashed Miura covered in nose candy
