Valerie-- I know that you have a keen eye on cars from your previous posts. And, yes, I am being charitable. The pieces look like they've been cut out with a scroll saw, glued together, and painted over. But, you have to admit the basic design principles - engine air scoops, brake vents etc follow the template.
Maybe this is a Johny Cash car--- "Piece by Piece".

I will concede that a bit of effort went into it, for sure. The antennae kills me. This would be interesting to look at up close.
I shared these pics with some other car friends and it was suggested it looks like it might have been a Fiero under all that at one time.

Ooooooo---- good theory--- mid engine ==== get the car real cheap from a boneyard or someone who realizes the Fiero isn't gonna be a classic, and then glue those panels on?
Val--- maybe you and me oughta get into the chop shop scene?

Okay, these cars are built from a kit for sure, as is the track. The set is called Lego Race 3000. The builder is my son, and the cars and track were built this past Sunday. Pretty cool. Betsy Voinovich Attachment:

These guys pulled in in front of me at My Friends. I don't know what it is, only that it's loud, and I think its name is "Ecstasy." Betsy Voinovich Attachment:

I am speechless and perhaps hypnotized into buying this beverage. Will this mascot car that is so coolly tricked out stay with us in Lakewood? Or is it off to another marketing destination?
My only hesitation is that I still feel burned by all the Bud Light promotion for an essentially undrinkable beer.

I see it's still parked over there, but it's early. I wonder if those eyelashes leave weird shadows (eyelash shadows) on the road. Betsy Voinovich
