First off, I didn't see any fire coming out of the exhaust, and that tail pipe is only like 3 inches in diameter. Second, where is the rear spoiler?

This isn't my cup of tea but I am happy that people with money, artists, and mechanics are joining together to experiment. Maybe 90% of this was silly and even ugly but maybe 10% will demostrate features that do turn out to be useful or fun. We need the far out types. They add fun and sometimes usefullness to our lives.
