Different, but dang, you couldn't pay me to drive it. Well I guess you could pay me, but damn it's not my cup of tea.

Haha get this...it's called the tran-sport. Kinda like tran-sexual? Haha, it started out as a car, and got a sex change. (naughty)

Didn't Pontiac have a minivan by the same name? Looked like the space shuttle's retarded little brother.......

its not bad looking actually, except for the color.

I really like the front bumper/grill.

Doesn't it defeat the purpose of having a truck if they fill the bed up? Granted they put something nice in the back. And on a side note, that color sucks. Paint that thing spicy orange.

hehehe Contrary are we? Hmm...
It looks like a pR5 how can it be all that ugly? Of course the green is not to my liking but it's like a PR5 with the top lopped off.

Me no like.

To each their own, though. I do respect the work and skill put into this little brat - nice work...I just don't have any respect for the color or chop. Nice interior, though (sans green).

That dude is just weird. There is a video of that and his MSP floating around.

It kinda looks like a 2 door Subaru Baja... Except for the color, it's kinda cool, from a "the car looked nothing like this when I first started" standpoint...

That thing has been around for a while. You can find an article on it in the August 2003 issue of HCI.

The guy who built that thing virtually took a P5 and chopped half of the top off and went from there. As for his choice in colors...... (puke)

Its a frikin show car, that will blow away ALL CARS that are on this forum, at any event. :D People, you need to realize this. It may not be your cup o tea, but it has extensive customization done to it, and is not a daily driver. :D

Really? You think? :rolleyes: Thanks Captain Obvious. That's why like I've always said I am not a show car kinda guy. I'd rather spend an entire day at a road racing or auto X track, then to go to a car show with all the superficial "import models" and rice boys. On a side note, my girl is so much better than those hoochies any day.
