    Back to Reality.

    That's a very sano car you got there with what looks to be a fine coat of paint, should draw some attention (just realized it's not yours, where is the blue car? Let's see a shot of the engine and car side by side).

    How do you pronounce, Aceca? (a-see-ka?)

    Since you'll be in the market for a new set of wheels, could I interest you in one of these? Speaker optional...
    I believe Detox drives one of these. :D

    Was looking for that BigC (Muenster Mobile).

    Bat based Lincoln Futura, correct! (info at link).

    "Here is another", that is Bizzare! But that Stang is Hot.
    Not as "open" as your Lincoln I'll bet... :D

    Boasting 1000 ponies, "Cadillac Sixteen".

    A little info

    Under the long bonnet of the Vauxhall VX Lightning is a new version of Vauxhall's 2.2 Ecotec engine."

    Yes, it's the same 240-horsepower supercharged Ecotec four used in the Solstice concept, but GM European brass reportedly wants a small V-8 under the Lightning's longish bonnet, making it the Vauxhall/Opel flagship. That's definitely not what Pontiac has in mind for a Miata-priced sports car playing in a market in which GM already has the Corvette. Bottom line: Many within GM, especially Bob Lutz, want the Solstice to happen. But whatever you've read elsewhere, it's not approved for production--yet.

    This is of course, after the buzzer.

    Would this be a 1936 Chrysler Airstream ?
    Oop's, wrong year (I notice differences).
