Who needs a "protected by viper" alarm sticker when you can have a "protected by poncho" sticker. Poncho we barely knew ye, but you will be remembered fondly.

To be realistic about this I would think a Crown Vic would be a good starting place. Probably still find one with the pushbar on it and continue the theme around the whole car. Tire shredding wheel caps ala' Bond and a trunk full of ball bearings to be released instead of an oil slick. As far as usefull ranged weapons…

You know you said something stupid when your thread gets hacked like his did.

If there is anyone we should be asking the Last Ride question to, I think she would be the one.

I'll take the radio active behemoth, cause you could make a ton of money shooting truck stop porno's in the back; cook the meth up in the middle; and out run the man with you fo'fourty from the front. Having fun, making money, and getting away with it all from one great deal on a vehicle.

@Mad_Science: Don't get me wrong I had that thought at first too, but it was really the only way I could think of to deal with working inflammatory and a reference to the car into my response.

@moltenik: I fail to see what is either inflammatory (besides the altima fuel system mentioned in the story) or misleading about a headline that says "Nissan Sued for Death in Street Racing Accident" when they are being sued for a death that occured during a street racing accident.

So your pictures seem to say that even with all of that techno-wizardry hidden underneath the "chest plate" the best they could come up with to house Vader's brain was a duct-taped styrofoam cooler? Wow they really are pushing development through to fast over there at Toyota.

Every time a project car dies, a flaming squirl destroys a camry...

A: The same thing as the aforementioned 42" chrome rims.

Well this is kind of the opposite of the "Best Bottom Contest" coverage I was looking at.

Thats what happens when you tell a bunch of engineers who have access to the building AC system to "just take it easy on Friday."

Or did I miss the point of this QOTD?

Harry dies...

One of the more interesting by-products of Cerberus' ownership of Chrysler and other companies is how it has allowed integration of product releases. In this case the sanitation arm (head?) felt they needed the new line of hairnets for male pattern baldness [jalopnik.com] were introduced along side the new SR-392 to…

Mmmm...

So do all the dragons painted on this thing act as a repellant to keep the car from actually becoming some other dragons bitch?

Since it is a slow day here at work I decided to get the 1280 shots up on the screen and take a very close look at this thing of beauty, and all I can figure is they named it after what appear to be the handle bars/headlights/front turn signals/sideview mirrors. Those seem to have that stacked wing look to them kinda.…

Are you kidding me?! 15k and all it needs is a tank of gas to run and it's so rare there aren't any records of them being built that year?! Sign me up!

For a bearded wonder such as yourself who can put together such an amazing junkyard radio I am suprised this is even a question.
