Hmmm...interesting completed middy
Came across this :
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=6472&item=2482497423&rd=1
Personally, I think it was obviously built by somone who had tremendous skill, but little or no aesthetic taste, I think you may agree with me....It
just looks too much like a big weiner with wheels, the oscar-mayer mobile was the first thing I thought of when I saw it. Looks like a beautiful
front-end though.

The level of workmanship and looks to be very admirable indeed, but the actual styling is so unbalanced.
Looks like it was designed by a comitee which never actually met.

well, its fairly unusual atleast! the odd looks are due to it being a tandem 2 seater, hence the bizarre cockpit.
pathetic engine by the looks of the 0-60 time...

I quite like it actually, reminds me of the pink panthers car (slightly)
At least its not trying to be a copy of a 'super car'
I would like to make a gullwing canopy for mine, but it would look ridiculous

I never understand why people spend so much time and effort, not mentioning money, building such ugly cars. Ah but it is american might explain.
Just kidding

I'm with spunky on this one!
Not bad!
Need a few modifications like changing the side screens to match the door profile more and the headlight covers to get rid of the straight line on
top. This would drastically alter it's appearance!
It's a lot better than some I've seen!

I think if they didnt 'pinch' the middle it would look alot better.
Best thing to do for a build....

Definitely agree with not pinching the middle, which brings up a simple question. If you're going to the trouble of designing and building a
one-off with no luggage space, amenities or looks, why even include a second seat? Would certainly look better without the uggliest side window
treatment EVER! Cheers!

might be a a feat of engeneering, but someone sure screwed up with the asthetics, it looks horrible.
looks as though they had a neat design for the body and decided at the last minute to change it to a two seater and royally screwed up.

it's someones baby and its on the road - credit where credit is due. Will we ever have concensus on taste?
Bit steep on the price and looks a little underpowered. Wonder if it will sell??
