.......wonder who would actually think that looks good....especially today

Yup, but that's what makes his builds so great!

Looks very Bugatti like.......is there going to be an I Robot movie sequel?

Yup, definately a model.............I'd bet it was done by a spectacularly talented european modeler with a taste for unusual subjects based off american cars too Aha!!! That's how you spell his name! That car just looks alot like his other unusual subject matter builds.

Must be awful proud of their work then!

What shade of blue is that, it looks good on that car!

Don't leave out the Pontiac Aztec now Harry!

I saw this one in person at the World of Wheels in Chicago this past January, it's.......different and took a boat load of work, but just not my cup of tea (with or without the LSD chaser.) Maybe had it not been based on a pickup cab and the engine sat lower than the cowl, then I would probably feel different about it.

Very cool!

That was an Escalade, one of the early ones IIRC. Then again, the "client" wanted exotics (don't know what's so exotic about a tarted up Tahoe though) and Cherokees are pretty much a dime a dozen. And Harry, my neighbors still have one of those '89 Camery's it's a wagon and in not so good of shape. I think it might be one of a couple left in the area too.

Real, but I think the windshield and rims may have some kind of touch up work done to them.

There was a Cherokee used in "Gone in 60 Seconds" BTW, theere was a cop chasing Elenor through the Dock in one until a wrecking ball knocked it throuhg a brick wall. IIRC it was doing a decent job hanging with her too The best way to tell that's not a C4C list is the severe lack of Ford Explorers, at one point 6 out of the 10 vehicles listed were either TTB or IFS and Live axle/leaf spring equiped Explorers with the Grand CHerokee, Cherokee, '99 Caravan, and '97 Windstar rounding out the list. I'm figuring with all those Explorers off the road, driving just got a whole lot safer for the rest of us.................

No arguements from me there! Well, that would explain the suden $9.00 jump in my insurance premium last month.

No kidding, all it tells me is that I have a 40% chance of getting hit by another drunk driver if I get in another wreck. IIRC here in Illinois you should wear bright/light colors cloths (white, yellow, prison jump suit orange, ect) and walk against the flow of traffic on the shoulder. Now if you're on bicycle, you should wear the same types of cloths, but you have to ride with the flow of traffic and stay over to teh right side of the road. Personally I like sidewalks, I grew up around here and took driver's ed here so I know better than to trust most of these licensed knuckeheads.

No wonder these questions half didn't make any sense, they were written by an insurance company or the insurance industry.

Only one reason I can think of, those are way cooler looking than anything that is competitively today. I'd still like to get my hands on a pre OBD2 and airbag 2wd 4.0l Jeep Cherokee to make a modern day gasser out of, all you'd need to get the look are some nice fat 30" tall tires out back, skinnies up front, a slight lift (ACOS adjustable bumpstop with 4 cyl springs up front and Up Country leaf springs out back), then start playing with the stock I-6 (stroker ) or maybe bump it up to a V-8 at some point (easier to do with the 2wd anyway, no front diff and driveshaft to get in the way ) Yes, I have thought it throuhg that much

Looks good and I'm digging the vented rotors.

We got a couple of those in at work the other day and both sold today!

Model, headlights don't look "right", the tires are lacking sidewall detail (like a lack of GoodYear licensing ) panel lines look too good, and dash looks like it's been molded from plastic and not painted or finished beforehand.

There's alot of IFS vehicles that get stupid amounts of negative camber when they get that low, but there's usually only two ways to get that with a solid axle......put in an IRS or bend the axle, otherwise a solid rear axle should have zero camber no matter the suspension elevation.

It would be enteraining to see if it would make it past the first 60ft in one piece That could be part of the steering mechanism

I don;t own one, but I do work for a HobbyTown and the vast majority of the models we carry come from Great Planes (Tower) and Horizon Hobby, with a handfull coming from Stevens.

The SB wing should be fine so long as it's now how the car would look today after a few decades of negelct and abuse.

If the local shops don't have it, have to youcked with places like Borders?

Did you use wide masking tape for the spare tire cover?
