An anonymous reader writes "Be the first on your block to drive on of these! a StarWars Land Speeder. This used to be a 1988 Ford Escort and only has 880 miles since built." This is a surprisingly impressive conversion.

    This isn't the Escort you're looking for...

    Scoundrel? I can live with that...

    What fascinates me is the price. 880 miles and a real car and the guy is selling it for less than $5000 + 50% of the transport costs? Makes you wonder a bit.
    He says it's the best he can do. Since the XP-38 came out, they're just not in demand.

    Cop: Son, do you realize you were going 45 in a 25? License, and, um, registration please.

    Obi Wannabe: These are not the droids you are looking for.

    Cop: What?

    Obi Wannabe: Move Along.

    Cop: Get out of the car and place your hands where I can see them...

    it used to be a frigging Ford Escort. How much more could he fuck it up?
    • Horrible braking distance? Check.
    • Drives like a barge in a river? Check.
    • Pieces falling off? Check.
    • Rollover? Check.

    Of course, the insurance company would probably freeze you in carbonite, metaphorically speaking...

    No need to worry about that...

    "Excuse me sir, is this your vehicle ?"

    "This is not the car you are looking for"

    "This is not the car we are looking for. Move along."

    it would look pretty in my garden next to the R2D2 fountain and Ewok treehouse...


    Don't you mean your parents' garden? ;-)
