hey Marq, this is Horace the hate bug







I like the scarab effect on the hood... but the 'cloth over the hard top and the small side window portholes looks kind of yukky...

I would say the most dangerous thing about that layout of "Horace" is that it must be a nightmare to drive because of all the blindspots. It basically blocked out all visibility outward from the driver and passenger rear quarters. And what is even funnier is the driver wearing the aviator flight style goggles... which wipe out any peripheral vision of the driver. If the driver actually wears them when driving.. it must be like 'tunnel vision' where they can only see straight ahead...

It reminds me of the old 70's Mustang Fastbacks.. where the main reason they ended up in auto-wreckers is that they were constantly getting hit in the rear left and right quarters - BECAUSE the drivers could not see through the blindspots created by the rear pillars that formed the 'Fastback'.

I liked the agressive tires on Horace... beatles always looked cool with meaty wheels..
