If it runs fast enough, and has the right price, I'd buy it.
But then again, I'm not "people".
For me, cars are means of transportation only.
I really have absolutely no desire to have some incredibly beautiful car or whatever...
The perfect car for me has to be cheap, cost efective and clean. But it can be as ugly as hell, I won't mind. #t27
@Joel Stoldt: I think the Prius looks just fine personally. It's not a head turner, but far better than some of the designs Ford was churning out in the late 90's early 2000's...
Don't even get me started on the PT Cruiser, Dodge Neon, or the Pontiac Aztec. #t27
Well, I came up with the design while looking at HVAC ductwork. I thought, "My, that's wonderfully functional and unattractive! I bet people will want to drive around in something that looks like that."
So, I knocked out a frame, installed a junction box and ran some BX cabling to it, mounted some cable trays along the chassis and wired the glove box as an electrical cabinet, ran a voice/data network with a blade server in the boot and then put in some track lighting for the headlamps.
So there you have it - the McLaren Build-Out.
The first car designed to look like new office construction that had work stopped after financing fell through. #t27
This has GOT to just be the prototype. Aside from it being ugly, no one in their right mind would make their main model of a car for sale in the UK an open top - the weather here just sucks waaaaay too bad for that. #t27
The lack of an enclosure and the likelihood of death in any collision with larger vehicles seem like big additional hurdles to overcome, let alone its looks.
I know motorcycles have the exact same problems (though not looks in my book), but at least motorcycles usually have the agility to get themselves out of harms way. #t27
Actually, this prototype aesthetic is not as important as what the entire thing represents. If it works very well, we can get better looking vehicles that enjoy the same advantages. #t27
I'm sorry, but I think this is pretty childish. What defines our society are our freedoms, tolerance and justice.
Wouldn't a more fitting tribute have been voting booths, or the steel for a girls' school, or something similar that truly represents what separates us from the terrorists? #ussnewyork
It's good that after all that death and destruction we decided to make a war ship. Yep, that makes sense. Dumb asses. I would never want to be memorialized with a war machine. Things that would make more sense: schools, shelters, artful memorials, libraries, or even a non-military boat. #ussnewyork
Whoa. Hang on. They took the some ruins of a building destroyed as "a symbol of american imperialism" to make a warship to enforce american imperialism?
Um.
Wow.
That's a uniquely american way of thinking. I feel very disturbed. #ussnewyork
@Andrew Johnson: I'm sure those 2,752 persons who died while at work (or who died trying to save those who were at work or those who happened to take the same flight as a bunch of deceived, self-seeking murders) that day did not think they were entering into A SYMBOL OF AMERICAN IMPERIALISM.
Why didn't you just post your message in German? Because without 'American Imperialism' your European-minded arse would be well versed in it. #ussnewyork

His gas powered T.25 wasn't too ugly so maybe there's hope for this one yet.. #t27
