How ‘bout something a little more, I don’t know, *mugshotty*:

Because that asshole is drunk and is more likely to be relaxed (which therefore improves your survivability odds in a crash) than the victim.

Please please please please please make this happen!!!

that orange VW pickup tho

I’d be ashamed for driving that ugly Monaro too.

Well most of my knowledge of police protocol comes from Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit II so I’m pretty sure the helicopter comes in by the time you unlock the Ford GT.

I wonder if a car company could be successful bringing back the old exterior, but with modern engines, interiors, and safety features. That was sort of what the PT Cruiser was trying to do wasn’t it? If so, I would love to own a “new” ‘49 Cosmo.

As a man who carries a satchel, I concur.

Lincoln made a Cosmopolitan back in 1949. Now this excites me.

I think a “WTF, GM!? WHY WE CAN’T HAS THIS HERE?” is appropriate.

Agreed, I would have taken the Patriot over the Compass every day of the week.

This looks good, but, damnit, I was really hoping for another box design. I seem to be in the minority here, but I thought the Patriot was a handsome little Jeep. I wish they would have veered that direction instead of towards the awkward roundness of the Compass.

Maybe he was talking about the windshield, lol? The one on my S60 says it was made in Germany.

The family doesn't owe you shit. His public life was while he was driving a car, not his family life. Get over it.

Craaaack piiiiipe!

Hummer H3 has a straight 5, that isnt ‘merican? its a cheap watered down sell out version of something that used to be awesome. Sounds pretty ‘merican.

Just one important question will decide my vote here: Is this how FR built it, with the paint, interior and all that? If so, as a completely “original” prototype, it might be worth it for investment. It’s way over the top for me and there’s a lot of cars I have to experience before shelling out $80 grand for something…

Thanks for the backstory. I’m sure more than the asking price was put into the car, and all work performed by McLaren is a huge bonus... spending close to $80k on a 16-year-old Focus - you’re putting down a HUGE bet on this being collectible. Maybe put it in the next F&F...

I used to work at McLaren engines where this was built so I’ve seen this vehicle up close and know the guys that built it. This is definitely a relic of the F&F era which doesn’t do it any favors looks wise. However the work done on it is top notch. These guys were building all the Ford Racing vehicles as well as all…
