So cool! You've got to come up with some kind of contest with this thing as the Grand Prize.

Sorry, but after being spoiled by that vision of loveliness known as the Furai, I can no longer get excited by this machine.

I'll take the Aussie Valiant. How hard would it be to convert to left-hand drive?

Why couldn't this have been the replacement for the RX8? That machine looks so stodgy next to the Furai.

Holy tree stumps: 737.56 lb-ft of torque?!?! That's trailer towing territory there. With a little added structural reinforcement, a guy could mount a fifth-wheel hitch to the roof of that puppy. Wouldn't that be a sight, pulling into a KOA with that Audi tucked under the front of a travel trailer.

Wow dang, that is lovely music. Sounds an awful lot like the pod racers from Phantom Menace. @Rust-MyEnemy is right on the money; gotta be something alien powering that thing.

Gee, didn't one of your commentors mention this the other day? I wonder who that was?

Jeez you guys are being tough on this guy. I kinda like it, especially if you can rip the doors & roof panels off in short order (provided they seal better than the last Jeep removable hardtop I used.)

I remember racing against an AMX back in high school, just for fun; the guy absolutely smoked my Chevelle (not that that's saying much, but I was impressed.) That and the fact that the Javelin's lines are just wrong. Never have liked the way they looked, probably never will.

MentalFloss ran a post yesterday that mentioned Tata building compressed air-powered versions of these bad boys. That'd be an interesting combination.

Any word on what city this was? Obviously not a place where the drivers are accustomed to any amount of snow/ice.

Zuki. You can shut down the voting any time.

I voted Cord; definitely the more hellish project and the more valuable when (if, definitely if) it's ever finished.

Now Murilee... Surely you could do better than a single side view photo of the thing. See how easy it is?

Wow; some great stories here!

One recent one; leaving work in my Suzuki Sidekick, pull up to the first stop sign in second gear and push in the clutch pedal. Very little resistance, and I keep on rolling. There's a truck coming down the hill from the left at about 50mph, so I steer the Sidekick into the ditch, jerk the thing into neutral, and kill…

Livestock & highways don't mix. I know firsthand.

Never happened to you? Dang; you're good! It's happened to me a number of times. I can recall two times when I actually ran out but had enough momentum to roll into a gas station. Other times involved a brief walk & begging to borrow a gas can from the station. One thing I learned is that older carburated engines are…

@Duffman: check out [www.24hoursoflemons.com] Quite informative, and entertaining. In a Jalopnik-sort of way.

Good grief. Why would someone build something like that & then paint it booger green? 30 minutes to go on the auction and the 6 bids are only up to $5000. If only it were painted black or Ferrari Red... But please; no more yellow & monkey motifs.
