Default cool turbo track/project/toy car i found

i was on my way home from the chicago area tonight and i passed by this place and noticed this car sitting out front. I have seen it several times before but never stopped to actually check it out.

it is always parked in front of a place called ROM Tech on hwy 41 near libertyville Illinois

anyway i know its not the prettiest thing but it seems like it probly goes





interesting idea for headlights....


I've always wanted to do this....

Looks almost like Ryan's (Lorax) car but it's clearly not.

i like it. all except for the rear end, the headlights, and all the vents. i also like the exhaust exiting from the side, only on a track car obviousley.

I assume since this is a Chicago car that that tape on the rocker panels is to hide gaping rust holes?

That rear bumper-cover looks like a big air-collector aka parachute.

I really only like the exhaust, even if it would probably scrape like hell

Everything else is ricey imo
