I think he damages his credibility a bit by having laser cannons on the side of the car...

What exactly do those cannons say about his character that isn't already succinctly expressed by the R2-D2 on the trunk?

I knew it, too.

I think it looks cool. I would never want to drive the thing, but there's obviously a lot of time and money and work put into it. At least he's determined (loaded). I'm sure he's losing sleep over people talking **** about him on the Intarweb, too.

I like how he chose to have a picture of himself in it, yet he's wearing a bad suit...

that's SO f'ing queer.

that aside, I could really kind of deal with it (well, if he got rid of the R2D2 sprouting from the rear deck) until I saw HIM. Definitely old enough to know better.

how does he get in the car? does he climb over those hoses, or are they not attached and just look like they connect to the laser-whatnot?

The least the guy could have done is wear an orange jump suit and X-Wing pilots helmet, or jedi robes or something!

Infact, anything but a bad suit...

Actually, he's probably looking to attract gay Canadian Mac users that have multiple Star Wars names on a mac user board.

Maybe just saying shut up would be quicker.

How do you figure? I always though gay people had good taste. In other words nobody would ever look at him or you for that matter you BIG stud you

I liked Obi-Wan in lieu of a St. Christopher statue. He just needs some metallic dice like Han has in the Falcon.

That is hilarious. I love it.

I don't know if I'd want to be seen driving in it.
