Default What were they thinking???

Anyone looking for a riced out Corvette? I saw this on another forum and almost got sick. This thing even has a retractable TV mounted to the rear bumper.

<font color="blue">I've seen that at a couple of car shows. Actually it is a super nice 'showcar'.
A lot of thought went into all of it, &amp; it is really a nice piece.

Unfortunatly, we don't have any more real big shows (indoor style) down here to show off that kind of work.

I remember back in NY, the L.I. colliseum &amp; M.S.G used to have great indoor shows that this would fit in perfectly at.

Yup... I have been on the beach in Lauderdale and seen that sucker drive by. For what it is it is pretty amazing. I dont think I would be caught dead driving it!!!!

Pretty cool looking... too bad they didn't spend some of that $150K on the drivetrain.

Wow What I don't understand is why customize the car to that extent and then sell it. I would guess the market that the car appeals to can not afford it?

Mike, apparently the more money you have to waste the less taste is involved... not the other way around.

He probably sold it to get it out of the way so that he can start working on a C6.
