That car is so bad***. I would have liked to build up a car like that, but being in high school I could only afford to do one or the other so I went the fuel economy route because I find it more interesting to be unique. Plenty of kids have fast cars that their daddy paid for, but I'm pretty proud that I got to construct my "aerofocus" myself.

By the way, is that car street legal? my uncle has an impala that sounds pretty similar, and lets just say...it wouldn't pass any emissions tests
