    I don't like to criticize but that's one of the ugliest things I've ever seen.

    This was Ford's Probe IV concept car from 1983, which used fairly extreme aero devices for a road car. The front skirts were attached to the body with flexible membranes so they could turn with the wheels:

    That Barris car is some ugly ****. I bet it has removable skirts, only installed for static display.

    WTF is this abomination?! Looks like something George would build. I wish Sam Barris would come back from the dead and slap the **** out of his brother.

    While I don't like everything on this car what impresses the **** out of me is that he drives it. More than once I've seen it cruising around Daytona prior to pulling into the Turkey Run....

    Gary had it out last Friday night out in Burbank Ca. at The Bob's Big Boy serving as chase car so son Nick could deliver a car to a customer of theres. Had a big crowd of wow takers and Gary as always is way to happy to give way out answers to all the ways out questions asked. The Chopit Family are #1 in my book.

    The HAMB is not setup for these kind of cars.

    Because our selection of smiley faces does not include the puking one.
