I think it's kind of cool.

Yes, it's ugly.

Yes, it's kind of pointless.

But it's cool.

People like to explore and experiment.

doors are welded so you need some way to get in...so the top lifts up...swing one leg over...then the other...and top down...is ugly though

The idea is awesome,the actual product is scetchy.The car itself is very cool,but the top looks like it was taken right off a boat.It needs to have a wraparound windsheild fixed to the car permanently,then be made into a fair weather only car.

With a perm. windsheild it would remind me of the SpeedBird, that Chip Foose made out of the new T-Bird.....I'd drive it.

I don't think it was beer..something with a little more hallucinogenic kick to it was involved in that one..however once the effects wore off..well..there it is for sale
