It just needs a pop up machine gun or laser on the former passenger side. ;)

I know nothing about the white car.

Doug's blue car appears to be a two-seater with tandem seating.

My name is Doug Heffron in 1993 I built a high mileage car, it was built around a 1989 Geo Metro ultra-fuel-efficient Xfi model.......................

This car with the tandem-style seating makes for an extremely stable car at high speeds.

I would like to get a better view of the seating, perhaps a cockpit view.

Looks like this latest one is a 3-wheeler, according to the ad.

Its cabin resembles some ground support vehicles I used to see everyday when I lived near an airport.
