Amazed that no one mentioned this metallic blue Citicar with white flares, skulls, and wild custom fur interior. Too recent to be online. The first customized Citicar I ever saw!

Is that the car Rollie purchased or the Count purchased on his behalf? I know they were working on it, but never saw the end. I think he talked about putting a motorcycle engine in it. Im sure with todays technology he could exceed highway speeds and still get decent range with some lifepo4 batteries.

I will not ruin it for you then The Facebook page said see it here-

Counting Cars

That video would not play for me, but yes- that was the onethe Count got Roli. That was a little more aerodynamic - just a hint without destroying the surprise!

Thats ok, you can spoil us. I cant get it to play either.

Aside from that "saphire blue"; those headlights were lowered- pop-up style. The fur inside was at least 2-tone, and the skull Roli was air-brushing was well done and not overpowering the blue. Roli said "lets go" and they all tried to pile in. Didn't work too well, so they go out; except Roli. The show ended after the Citicar ran a short way and stopped. Roli said "Uh Oh, battery might be dead".

I finally did get it to play but it was showing the episode when it was brought in. I saw a very tiny photo of the finished Citicar but when I blew it up it looked terrible; but you can see the pop-up headlights, fancy wheels, spoiler, blue colour. Roli's EV:

I expected more considering the horny van and the panel wagon they build up last week.

I saw this episode last week. The car looked ok, I was shock there was no window tint consider they are in the desert. Also disappointed it wasnt powered by a motorcycle or hyboosta motor. Infact after he drove it out of the shop it made it a few more feet til the battery died. At least they could of went to a larger motor and better cells.
