T-Rex
If ever there was a time when I wished my cell phone had one of those fancy picture-taking things built in...
I'm in Dallas right now doing an install at KRLD-FM. For lunch, I went across the street to Quiznos. Behind the restaurant, parked in the lot of the Best Western hotel, was a 3-axle trailer with Quebec registration bearing Campagna Motors livery, and parked in front of that were two T-rexes!
Campagna- Fun, Style, Performance
I've seen these online before, but never in person. I always thought they were kind of ugly, but to behold one in the flesh it's just pure sex.
Lingered for a while, tried to find someone who was with the company (I really wanted to sit in it) but couldn't find a soul.
So I sat in it anyway.
A bit on the cozy side (I'm 6'2" and about 210 lbs) but definitely manageable. Like the Miata, it's not so much a car you get into as one that you wear, though the Miata is a comfortable old hiking boot next to this ballet slipper.
Only trouble is that they're only available pre-built, and they start at US$52,000.
Still, if any of you locals want to catch a glimpse, the hotel is across the street from 4131 N Central Expy. I doubt they'll be there long, as I expect the trailer is headed over to the International Motorcycle Show.

Damn, this is really dredging up some old passions...
There's no way I'm paying $52k for a T-rex. And there's no way I'm building a Grinnall with a ******* shaft-drive BMW engine... The scorpion P13 looks nice, but again, too damn pricey.
How is it that Westfield can churn out SEis for $14k, while to get one fewer wheel you gotta pay triple?
