The Star Wars Car

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the now-thats-stylish dept.

An anonymous reader writes "You think you're a Star Wars fan because you own a lightsaber? Behold, the Star Wars car. Some of the comments on the forum suggests that it's modelled after a A-Wing. One of the coolest "mods" I've seen in a long time, very original and time demanding it seems."

    because you own a lightsaver?

    Yes, that swim-suited beauty lives in my top draw and leaps into action whenever she hears the cries of a light bulb in difficulty.

    I see it has no back seat. Obviously the guy was smart enough to realise that he wouldn't be needing one.

    He needs to slap a big Type-R sticker on it. Then it would really be a chick magnet.

      Images of the Comic Book Guy from the Simpsons spring to mind.... "No! Girls may NOT ride in my X-Wing unless dressed as Princess Lea. Go away!"

    Cool paint adds 10 horsepower.
    Rear spoilers add 30 hp.
    Type R sticker == stick-on NOS

    Hope this helps...

    What I don't understand about the rear spoiler is that the damn car is front wheel drive. Spoilers on the rear are there to produce more down-force to increase traction on rear wheel drive cars, they do absolutly nothing for front wheel drives. Well.... other then making the owner look like a totall moron (assuming he even needs any help with that).

    A rear spoiler does nothing for a regular car. At high speeds, a car, which is shaped like a plane wing (more or less) develops an upward force which can cause instability, particularly on wide banking turns. The spoiler will have the same effect whether the car is front or rear wheel drive, which in most cases is no effect, and in some cases where the car is going real fast in a straight line, a negative effect (particularly on front wheel drive cars) due to increased drag.

    The rear spoiler is, in effect, a third nipple. Kind of neat to have, ugly to look at, functionally useless, and if it sticks out more than a little, should be removed by a qualified person as soon as possible.

    Here is a hint: car mod-monkeys don't understand physics.

    Here are a few other things they don't understand:

    The Honda Civic is not a fast car, even with ground effects

    Girls think that the big wing on your trunk is compensation for a small penis (please see your email for assistance)

    Whereas flashy colors assists the mating ritual for peacocks, it detracts from the efforts of humans

    No, Mugen is not interested in sponsoring your tricked out Neon

    We all know that the NOS meter on your dash is fake

    You are no longer part of an underground movement (please see your local Blockbuster or EB for evidence)
