The Supercar Registry - You Can't Make This Stuff Up!

Now owned by Chicago collector Joe Bortz. Rescued from the Warhoops junk yard in 1988, where it had been "scrapped" by discretely cutting it into several major pieces.

Originally equipped with a dummy driveline the car has now been equipped with a small all electric powertrain so that it can be driven from the trailer to and from the show field (rather than pushed).

It's a crab. No those are not teeth though crabs do have teeth, but not in their mouths. They are located in their stomachs. What looks like Human Teeth are growths.

Ugly Bastard.

These are from the "Eyes on Design" concours event in 2009. They had a special Fitz&Van display with the artwork presented next to the comparable vehicle.

We got to keep the poster when it was over.

Watch Chevy’s First Electrified Corvette Prototype Whip Around the Nürburgring

Quote:

The cars are all wrapped in digital camouflage, so it’s hard to make out any body changes. The most telling aspect of the video, though, is the audio. You can clearly hear the electrified prototype’s V-8, which lets out more of a loud thunder than a crackle.

The roar that emanates from the prototype suggests that its hybrid-assisted powertrain will pair an electric “e-booster” motor with the 6.5-liter LT2 V-8 found in the C8 Stingray, rather than the 5.5-liter LT6 found in the Z06. Although the base model’s mill is bigger, the V-8 in the performance-oriented variant has a flat-plane crank which keeps weight down and produces more power, speed and sound. The LT2 may not be as powerful as the LT6—it produces 490 hp and 465 ft lbs of torque compared to 670 horses and 460 ft lbs of twist—but the presence of an electric motor could make up the difference.

Past reporting suggested the hybrid would produce 650 horses, but that was before the debut of the Z06, so it’s possible that output could end up being even higher. There’s also strong belief that the sports car’s “e-booster” motor will be positioned on the front axle, which, if true, would make the electrified C8 the first all-wheel-drive model in the nameplates’s history.

It's estimated that the average person spends around three years of their life on the toilet.

The Chinese have an obsession with toilets. This here is actually a toilet-themed restaurant in the city of Shenzhen.
