Paging Doc Brown, this car is from the future! Well, at least the future we pictured back in the '80s. Or an old Transformers cartoon. Now it's more like a futuristic car based off of our nostalgia-inspired designs. Regardless, it was spotted recently on Avenue C and 8th Street and the photographer, Will McDonough, tells us "it had Hydraulic doors, that opened when the driver unlocked the door. He customized the dashboard with a tons of switches and levers... not sure what they did. This thing has so many blind spots, god knows how he can drive it through the city." How long do you think it'll last in this rough n' tumble town?





I saw this driving down Bedford the other day and was hoping someone took a pic of it. Look really cool in person, kinda like those crazy cube car/trucks in Japan.
Looks like "MegaForce" (SFW but maybe not so safe for if you're allergic to cheese)

Looks like a goofy ice cream truck.
A friend on my photo linked to some other examples in Japan: http://www.pinktentacle.com/2007/05/extreme-japanese-custom-vans/.
Crazy!
Ummm... the transformers are cool. This thing looks like it someone invented robot cancer and infected the ecto-1 from ghostbusters.
This thing makes an AMC Gremlin or Pacer look positively sleek.
Does it qualify for Cash For Clunkers?
Depends on how much mileage its attention-whore owners get out of it.
Ha, it has been around for a little while... I saw it earlier int he summer (mid-June, maybe?) rolling down 14th st near Union Square. People stood in the middle of traffic trying to take pictures
You guys are late I saw this thing in Union Square two months ago on Pride weekend.
I think this thing actually lives in Bushwick - I've seen it parked outside an autoshop on Park Ave by Broadway many a'time.
Wow, awesome. Who needs pick-up lines when you have this?
