The first appearance of the Baltan aliens in the original Ultraman (2nd epiosde) has them show up at night, probably to enhance the merging/molting effect.  And also to make them laughing in the dark seem creepy.

Can I at least get the C8.R’s lighting setup?

Also why showings at drive-in theaters are usually cheesy dumb movies.  

I thought 1987 was the last year.

“No mechanical issues”

Since half the article is more about having a date seat, why not a rear facing bench seat? You’ll have a bucket for comfortable driving then back the car into the drive-in parking spot. Less chance of a roadjob though.

Is there a difference between fukumen and kamen, as in Kamen Rider?

They did race a GT-R in 2014:

Like most sports cars back then, the Mach 5 was also a rally car and the saws were used to cut though trees offroad. The marshals would probably call that cheating but needs must when the leading team are bank robbers that need to be stopped!

Slap a Mazda badge on this Adzam:

I think this is the car you’re after:

My favorite from around the same time:

It’s being held up by the rear like gunpla stand

I think they should make a beam saber first.

This is not going to actually walk because the legs are not holding up anything. It’s being held by a giant horizontal beam from the rear that can extend and retract, so it’s going to move its legs and look like it goes forwards and back. Just like the life-size models elsewhere this is for spectacle. Now, if they can…

Porsche has been rumored to be investigating a new DPi effort, so perhaps Team Penske will be getting back together with its ex?

I thought it was “fuck you” if you held it up with the back of the hand facing somebody.

Jaguar did bring a 3.5 car, the XJR-14, but withdrew it after qualifying because they didn’t think it would last the race. Their official reason was to protest the rule that the 3.5 cars automatically started on grid ahead of the legacy cars.

Blue on white were the essential brand colors throughout the 1980s. I wish they brought it back in IMSA, too many prototypes are red and black.
