So, you'd better be pretty damn careful if you're gonna mess around with the only thing you've got left. Also, Nick has a point regarding the handling of such a car, it would be a little heavy and the weight would make it slosh through corners. I envision this thing as kinda like the Dodge Magnum. Or, a spiritual kin to the PT Cruiser - a neat car to own but I think I'd be a little ashamed too?
