Sorry Buick, but Jalopnik has already set the bar, nice try though.

I supposed it's better than the classic ass on the photo copier trick.....unless of course....the Stig turned out to be Danica Patrick!

@Ben Wojdyla: Yeah, and apparently it did not pick up any takers. I was only being half serious since, as mikedrawcar said, they showed it for the first time soo long ago it almost seems to have grown long in the tooth when it has yet to even hit the showrooms.

@benrobNU: It is indeed a expanded polystyrene foam. Just dump a load of acetone on it and watch it melt!

A huge leap forward? Really? They have been working on this thing for how many years and mules are just now being produced? They are still at least another year away from production by the sounds of it. This only serves to highlight the fact that the Generals production and engineering are woefully slow and still…

@Ambiguously Unfunny Serial Killer: +1

WOAH!

@Flathead Smith: and in 12" high lettering across the side.

@benrobNU: Come to think of it, I bought my son one of those Air Hogs R/C mini copters and it works really well.

That's awesome! I've tried to fly a plane several times with different price/quality of aircraft, and crashed them all with varying degrees of damage!

One of my favorite feature of a lot of old classics like this is how the speedometer has zero at around the 12:00 1:00 position and then rotates clockwise (like all cars) to show the speed. Why did we move from that trend anyway? Just easier to read perhaps?

Almost as difficult as driving with a girl on your lap!

Gotta love the dual tips mounted vertically! Are those wheels spinners?

@tekamul: Love my life in the country?

@SCROGGS!!: Elmore!

STOCK SUSPENSION!!!
