i don't know how he continues to get all the press he does. He is onto like his third fly by night company and seems to go out of his way to destroy his reputation by acting like a 12 year old on forums.


I would say it doesn't matter. As in, you don't have to like the guy to want his cars, but when it is about stealing money and ripping off customers it seems pretty relevant.

Ha! According to Autoblog, he wants 600k for what is basically a stretched Elise with a Chevy motor. I can't believe he'll be able to find many customers for this thing...

He's probably just collecting numerous $600K deposits from idiots before he vanishes. It's a shame people aren't guided by morales or this guy would be out of business permanently by now.

I have to say, that looks incredible. Modern day Cobra anyone? There's a lot of reasons why this idea won't translate into a real, usable car, but who cares! What if it did!??!
