I know that car, been posted in a forum I frequent about automobile aerodynamics.

Tyler was a poor CCS student when he did that, got a job in a big three design department after graduation.

His other (earlier) paint scheme was similar to an Eddie Van Halen guitar.

He hasn't posted in that forum in about five years, was getting a bit stuck up since he turned "pro" unfortunately. A talented guy for sure.

And that gigawatt sound system must be just awesome in such a small cabin too.

Oh...OK, I see it now. Spending a bundle to make a Pontiac look like a Ferrari F40...yeah, that's a great idea!

He neglected to mention or didn't know himself that it is only a rendering.

Created lovingly by abimelecdesign and shared on Instagram, this set of renderings combine the sexy, wedge shape of the Ferrari F40, the final project Enzo oversaw himself, and applies the black and gold aesthetics of everyone’s favorite outlaw movie car.
This is a real car, not that it's any better.

Resourceful Teen Makes Real Working Car Using Scrap Metal
https://www.hotcars.com/resourceful-teen-makes-real-working-car-using-scrap-metal/

Quote:
According to his mother, Kelvin has always been ingenious, making airplanes out of containers. Soon, Kelvin wanted to build his own car. His home has become his workshop, spending around $200 worth of scrap to make his dream come true. Three years of effort, patience, and creativity finally paid off, as Kelvin was finally able to build his own car.........................

Kelvin's car is operational—it has an engine, steering wheel, four wheels; it's can run on the road and go in reverse. It even has a wooden dashboard, gauges, suspension system, audio system, and gull-wing doors. The design is quite sensational; it looks like a clay model of a supercar prototype.
Took way more heart than a computer rendering.

Anyone knows that tower doesn't control such things, they control landings.

It would be C&C that orders action like that.
And anybody who knows anything knows they wouldn't say "take him out"

But .... "You have a go to BRRRT if he goes over 15"
