The things they sell on eBay... The latest eBay sensation, the so called Extra Terrestrial Vehicle Lamborghini door concept car, is a combination of several vehicles, melted to become a very unlikely car/spaceship.
Not actually a Lamborghini, the ETV, as the owner calls it, is in fact a heavily modified Chevrolet Cobalt. So modified, the owner says the ones which made it spent over two million dollars for the task (we're not sure why...).
To be sold to the highest bidder for only $70,000 (!!!), the vehicle is a four seater packed with other wise very earthly technologies: 2.2l gasoline engine (no warp drive, sorry), ABS (no inertial dampers), driver and passenger airbags, air conditioning (no life support), cruise control (no HAL 9000) and even power windows.
Being an alien ship though, the ETV is a bit tricky to operate. For instance, the access to the wheels and tires can be achieved after "you raise up the car and remove three bolts which hold the covers on the wheel area."
As you can see in the pictures attached, there are actually two ETVs, a red and a silver one. But forget it, you can't buy them both and build a fleet with which to invade Dakara.
"The silver car picture is just for an example of another one of these custom manufactured cars," the owner says. "The silver car is NOT FOR SALE."
The red one would, however, suffice. Not only you will own this "rare opportunity" vehicle, but you will also become a star in your neighborhood.
"There is always someone waiting by the car to see who owns it, or just to see it drive away. So many cars and motorcycles give the thumbs up, or just plain yell something."
Yes, we'd like to yell something too... OMG !
PS. The car has been created by a company called The Car Factory. They, apparently, have a soft spot for lambo doors, weird sounds and extraterrestrials...
