Looks like a cross between a bathtub and a theme park ride.

And one of those generic wax paper cups you get at the good bbq joints in the hood

Totally. That’s the Solo cup “Jazz” design. I’m not sure my life is enriched by knowing that but might as well share.

What's with the tubes coming out of the centre dash vents? By the way I love this thing.

I would guess they run the hot air directly into their clothing to stay warmer on a long and breezy drive.

And that thing looks pretty awesome, I'd rock it!

Going to guess it was a desperate attempt to stay or get warm. Did a similar thing with my first car ( MG Midget with no top) where I had to re-route the heater tube into a down jacket in order to keep driving on a long October trip.

Hmm.  Mid engine, rear wheel drive and a supercharger... If one were to shorten that, section what's left of the body and roll the top parts in then they might have a pretty neat little car.  If I weren't currently in toy car saturation I'd seriously consider that.

Cool. Love the Solo cup 80’s graphic. Someone buy it and bring it to the challenge as is this year, then do some more performance and safety work with the remaining $1,270 next year.

I wish.  Different Jeremy.  He’s the younger better looking one.
