Ok so my buddy called me today wondering what the hell he had just seen.

2 rows of 5 taillights
rear engine you could see thru the back
no badges
'vents' or something like vents above the taillights
small, super sportscar

its bugging the crap out of me, I thought CCR or Ultima GTR but those are both negitives. does anyone have an idea what this could be??

lol. it's funny when actors are referred to by the names of the characters they play. i remember when watching "Silent Hill", i kept thinking "oh man, it's boromir and he's driving a 7 series... and he's wearing a burburry raincoat!" haha

oh i'm offtopic. well i have no idea, sounds pretty weird looking, though.
