Only if you consider two wrecked FD's pulled from a junkyard a perfectly good FD. From a business perspective I think it's a great idea. It shows what they can do as a shop, and some 4+ years after it was built is still drawing attention.

that thing looks funny w/o the windows going all the way down the sides....I think if they did that and made it a black fd instead it would actually look kind of cool

Hey, I think it's sort of fun, in a bizarre sort of way. Although the back area is super weird. It looks like a padded cell or something rather than the back of a limo.

I would rock that.... I think petit built that as a promo car, I remember reading about it at least 8 years ago, and from that standpoint it kinda makes sence.

Why?

170k could of been used in alot better ways than a pointless project. I mean seriously, what did they hope to accomplish?
