Wood can be made to look much more streamlined and beautiful than that. Just look at any wooden boat. This thing is ugly and clunky looking.

I suspect this is made to appeal to the steampunk types. Their stuff is purposely clunky.

I thought steampunk hardware virtually always has brass as a major component.

that looks like a picnic table or other outdoor furniture. With the right craftsmen, it could look sooo much better.

Whats that? Oh thats the style they were going for? nevermind.

Or metal of some sort. I wouldn't call this steampunk exactly, but I think that was the vibe they were going for.

It looks like something a Keebler elf would drive.

:smack: It just dawned on me, they're following the style of custom vans, in Japan.

I'm just... so happy those are not street legal in any state in my nation

In my nation, morons identify themselves with the ugly-ass body kit... butusually this is restricted to a rear wing that would fall off if the car was driven at any speed at which it might become useful...

Japan says, I know... let's take a vehicle that gets 8 mpg and weigh it down with things that are not aerodynamic

The Rose Parade doesn't count

Looks like the Japanese vanners are single-handedly keeping the Bondo people in bidness.

the wings go up--it's like a wooden delorean
