yea i hear those things are super fast cause they don't weigh ----, they look like ---- too. just not my taste. i'd take an 11 second jdm 00' civic hatch over that thing anyday.

Re:Looky what I saw on the freeway the other yesterday.
 
11 second jdm hatch would be nice, but I think I'd rather have one of these. It'd be just a badass car period. I must admit the look is sorta like a dune buggy, but it's a ------ machine and I would love to have one.
