Can't wait to see one modded... I love the front and sides..the back... eh. The interior...no.


I also think the engine looks like it was built out of legos:



Too much plastic. Time to get to modding (at least the appearance since that shouldn't void any warranty).

So are the temperature, voltage, and oil pressure gauges real gauges or dumby gauges that only move when something is wrong?
