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.

Honestly, I would purchase it if I lived in the area, and I would name it The Frank Lee!  |

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