Seriously, this thing seems intended to make a fashion statement, and that statement is "I am a geek!" Not in a good way, either.

Sweet.
Me and my friends are still planning on getting an old van, painting it Bright Fucking Red™ and then writing "WAAAAAAAGH!" on it plus dakka, shooty, grim, speed, and bad glyphs and covering it in gubbinz... maybe a wrecking ball or dozer blade depending on legality.

I like the interior. For some reason I've always wanted random switches and buttons to push when I start my car.

Eh, if it wasn't for the r2 on the back and the rebel insignia on the bonnet I'd say it rimnded me more of the car from Back to the Future than any SW vehicle.

Although I love the Imperial Kill Counters. If I had anything with guns my kill counters would be either that or the Aquila.

On an off topic note, if you view the pictures enough you'll note there's a lot less random pictures to align with random names and ages, because I got the same woman for different names.

I don't like the Star Trek Car, its just too boxy and without the nasels with the wheels and undercarriage like that is looks bad. Anyway it looks like it would be a pain to drive as well all that plywood would just be so heavy.
I wouls look better if they used fiberglass and put it in place of the car panels unstead of over them.

I've seen this before. The girl who did the car (yes, it's actually a woman!) remarked on her website that it's generated an unusual amount of attention, and that she basically just wanted to have a car that looked different from the others out there, and since she's a huge Star Wars nerd it seemed the ideal way to do that.
Of course I'm very loosely paraphrasing from memory, so take it with a grain of salt.

I'll **HAVE** to get pics of it, but there's a converted Dodge Caravan / Ford Windstar that goes round town here that's been converted to look like a Federation shuttle. It's called the USS Haise, according to the markings on the side.
I pulled up next to it at a light once, but by the time I dug out my camera, the light changed. I've seen it two or three more times after that, but it's always headed the other way and there's never time to grab the camera.
Edit: Name of car.
