OMFG. This fails as even a "tribute" or a "parody"

Only good to use as a car bomb, this thing is horrid, I hope it never sees the road

I think the funniest thing is the Oldsmobile engine This is the kind of thing that is worth good money only to the creator, or a weird rich dude with so much money he can't even think of how to spend it all.

Why would anyone bid on that up to $11k? It's got to be a shill.

actually what is done is fairly impressive.

but it actually never says it is drivable does it?

the dash needs covered, and a lot lot lot of work remains undone.

no i wouldnt want it but it it impressive someone got so far along on it!

not bad.. fooled me a lil (cept the dash)

that model lambo is pretty square and such... so making it out of wood really doesnt seem that difficult(ya know instead of curved body panels its all flat and points)

On the "plus side" at least it doesn't have the 350 GM Olds (so called) "diesel" engine in it That would've been the crowning touch!
