Gosh darn ugly.

Someone put a lot of work into that, and for what?

There have been a few really good looking cars that made the most of flat planes. Heck I have one mocked up in foam core board at 1" = 1'-0" that is VW bug based.

They must be drinking/smoking better stuff than me.

my local lumber yard has some nice plywood and I've got a few tables for working it. Guy down the street has his yard decorated with about 20 VW corpses. Wonder if he and I could get together on one of these lovely babies!?!?!

Hey, that's the Willi Kauhsen autograph model!!! I'm afraid that they've ruined the collector value by taking off the Bosch decals though.

Well, that Lambo Countach looks near the real thing (well, almost...) The 2CV duckling car isn't too bad.
But the 917?
Over my deid body!

That thing needs a big brass door knob mounted on the side.
