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.

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!
