It's a pre-production prototype from [my redacted employer]. I am not at liberty to say more right now, but many among the hoonitariate know enough to fill in that critical detail.

That's okay. You can weld it.

I'd still buy one if the prices were not so unreasonable. Heck, my dune buggy had 60 HP, an upolstered board for a seat, and a jarring ride, but it was still fun as all get out. The Prowler would certainly have a better ride, more comfortable ergonomics, and at least as much go. I'd gladly cruse the neighborhood with it on warm summer nights.

The Dodge Challenger is not a sports car, or even a sporty car. It's a comfy highway cruiser with a really attractive body. If you accept it for what it is (a 2-door Chrysler 300), it's not a disappointment. As the owner of a Chrysler 300 and the Town Cow, I would probably be much happier with the Challenger as it is, rather than the Mustang-fighter people expected it to be.

1981 Kawasaki KZ750E. After a string of smaller bikes and outdated British iron, I finally figured I should go with what was popular. When I bought it, it was the most modern, powerful, reliable motorcycle I had ever owned.
...and it was also heavy, buzzy, and uninspired. Not bad by any means, just not the significant upgrade I'd expected, and sort of soulless.

No, you actually don't want those. You want the LED headlight that sitting on my desk right now. You just don't know it...yet.

You know those generic cans of vegetables with the black-and-white labels that just say "BEANS"? The DJ-5 is as close as you can get to a generic can of "VEHICLE".

Not exactly "realistic," but I want to put two VF1000R motors (the 90° V-4 with the gear-driven cams) in a Fiero: one up front driving the front wheels, one in the rear: 220 HP, AWD and great weight distribution.
