$22.5k buys A LOT

[roclist@accessconsulting.ca (Jason Adams)]

I just recall Mr. Hobbs mentioning it one day as Speed had a "behind the
scenes" look at some teams... also that they couldn't go over ~120° as the
width of the engine was too great and adversly effected the aerodynamics...

okay so enough people believe this car can deliver, fine, it's still ugly.
;p
