[It started out as a Honda del Sol.](http://www.shawnandcolleen.com/shawn/Pages/hwing/specsb.html) Even scarier is the fact that [he is not alone!](http://www.roadsquadron.com/main.html) :eek: ---

How about a [Camaro?](http://www.freestyle2000.com/startrek/lcars.htm) > [@](#): > > This is the interior of the 2366 “Galaxy Class” Camaro, computerized super car. Notice the custom built console that houses a 9" SVGA monitor, floppy disk drive, Sony 8mm video tape deck, Logitech trak-ball, and “pop-up” Alpine radio. The seats are even “split” in the center to match to Command Chairs on the ENTERPRISE-“D”. > > The computer is a “full-scale” Intel Pentium (not a laptop) system that runs Windows 98 programs and games, Multimedia sound & video, cellular fax modem, and a custom written program called “CAR TREK” that controls over 100 of the vehicles funtions including: Rolling the windows up and down, opening an closing the hood and trunk, controling the shifter (notice it’s missing), the lighting curcits, A/C controls, nail drop, oil sprayers, flip plate, and much more. > > THIS VEHICLE IS NOW FOR SALE > FINANCING IS AVAILABLE ---

I have always wanted to take the [van](http://www.usmotors.cz/old/images/chevrolet/90_96_chevrolet_lumina_apv/94_chevrolet_lumina_apv_2.jpg) and turn it into a space shuttle. Small wings on the side, a tip in the back, gold tinted windows, black and white where appropriate, Nasa logos on the sides… yea, it would so rock. I should still do that… ---
