Did ya watch the little video? The headlights open up kinda like eyelids.
And yeah, my thought is what happens when you get into a wreck. How much protection can it offer? |

heheh yeah and the part where they made it blink. really interesting idea, I'm just thinking stuff, not even wrecks. What happens when a 2x4 gets kicked up into the side of the car? or some really windy/rainy weather, etc etc.

and of course.... hail Mother of god that'd be like someone was spraying you with an AK when going down the highway! how do softtops fare? some balistic nylons could take hail and scuff. would like to see a road test. What would be cool would be variable parts that chaged your coefficient of drag as you moved. -------------------- Southern Rock, beer and bears!

the stuff on this car looked a little thinner than a typical convertible top. although I'd imagine this car would be more of a weekend cruiser than an everyday, hailstorm-drivin-through, workhorse.

Yeah, I would imagine if you own a car like that, you probably have a garage to put it in. heh

drawbacks or not, that thing is cool as hell. especially the "eye" headlights. THAT is probably the coolest thing i've seen all fucking month.

Oh I see now... I was looking at some YouTube video they had posted on another page. I was confused because the car was under a sheet and couldn't be seen. Yeah, this is pretty cool.

Cool car. Like Impala said, don't know if it'd be practical... but I love to see automakers (or anyone, really) thinking outside the box.
