Now that's interesting.

Driving through my apartment complex today on our way out to lunch, I saw one of these parked outside one of the nearby apartments.

That's right: an actual Vector M12. Only 18 of these cars were made, and here was one sitting not a hundred yards from where I live.

Unfortunately, it was gone by the time we came back from lunch, otherwise I'd have gotten pictures. Beautiful machine, though. I wonder who it belongs to.

Unfortunately, it's really not. It's got a nice engine but the quality control on them was terrible and because they had parts stolen from Fords, Mazdas, Lamborghinis and many others (to try and keep costs down) they had all kinds of issues. They LOOK nice, though. Look like a car you'd see in a futuristic sci-fi film.

Still, I can't say I'd complain if I were to be given one. Heh.

cheers,

Well, not a sweet car to drive but you wouldn't want to drive cars like that around atl anyway, with our weather it'd nail the exterior in no time flat. But gorgeous to look at and imagine well, erm... nevermind :-)
