I could do without the scoops and wing...............but this looks real neat.  This guy has put a lot of money into the car.

I do like that car.   Frankly I was thinking of Ben when I saw it.

But, in the process looking for my small ranch in the San Diego back country.  One of the Porsche guys that has a ranch in Texas told me it wasn't a ranch in Texas unless you had a least three hundred acres.

Apparently he has not checked Southern California land prices.  Here if you have ten acres is like the Ponderosa or South Fork.

 :D

Now you've got me thinking that I need to do some video about adding lots of big scoops.  I always did like scoops growing up, and with the Mustangs I worked on.  Perhaps I would put the wing on updside down and the car would lift off the ground.  And of course I'm thinking about an episode where I would upgrade the brakes and when I test drive the car, the brakes are so powerful that they rip the wheels off the car.

Perhaps I would put the wing on upside down and the car would lift off the ground. 

 :FUNNY: now that does have potential. A bit of judicious editing, some stock footage from a helicopter or plane flight and you could be in business !

This car needs wide wheels. Something about 7" front and 8" on the rear.

It looks, like this guy spent very much time. He found good solutions!
