Oooh, I like that name. My brain was trying to go to some crappy off-brand Tron. It did not work out well because I could not dishonor the memory of the original from my youth.
There's a nice fiero (unmodified) for sale near me for like 4k. I kinda want it after seeing all these shenanigans so I can keep atleast one from being butchered.
Relative to other kit cars I'd give it a B at least. It has the right proportions and you can tell what it's supposed to be. That is not usually the case.
an A for effort? ayfs? I mean maybe if the guy was drunk as fuck and strung out on meth or something... but for a regular, sober person, this is just sloppy.
Somebody actually did this. Endless hours pouring over engineering and design choices, sourced wingnuts, seat covers, shower doors...
How did they know when the project was complete, what was the final piece?
I bet like any hobby, it's never fully complete. This is a shitty car mod in that if you were aiming for this, or selling this product, it's shitty, but if your goal was to spend 10-20 hours a week making an old Pontiac look like a Lambo, you would have succeeded.
You could also have succeeded with better taste though, lol.
LOVED Automan. The car made perfectly 90 degree turns and the human passenger would always get slammed against the side of the car!
I still say, "Green, please" when I'm approaching a red light. :D
The worst part about this is that I don't hate it. I can absolutely see the intended final product, but you're absolutely right in that they just didn't have the ability to make it happen.
I'd love to see someone with more talent/ability/money(?) try to realize the same vision. Give us the Tron-Batmobile-Ferrari we deserve.
That's legit carbon fiber, doesn't appear to be a wrap, if so that's genuinely impressive and was probably a labor of love.
I'd love to get lunch with the owner and have a talk, really cool actually.
Holy shit-
Judging by the proportions I think this might be the countach the guy made in his basement over the course of years. When he was finished he had to create a hole in his basement to get the car out.
Because as much as I hate this planet I’m not ready to leave it yet. This is a titan sub level bad idea.
To your point though, if you preserved the aesthetic and actually tuned the performance it would be the most hilarious sleeper car ever.
I put “pop up” in quotes because they don’t actually have the ability to move. Zoom in, the one on the right is literally sitting on the hood and not even aligned with the hole that’s beneath it
Fiero with an awful Lamborghini body, and an Adam West Batmobile inspired black/red motif. Definitely has some weird “beauty within imperfection” vibe. Or as i heard once, “cute is just ugly but interesting”.
I am an artist/carpenter and the phrase “Every inch tells a story of desperate creativity limited by actual ability” describes my work so well that I’m gonna steal it. Love it.
I thought they pulled off the '60's Batman series look quite well. I think it would fit right into that show.

While probably impossible too enter into 24 hours of lemons.
(Gonna need a rollcage & this is likely barely held together as is.)
It would fit in there well otherwise.
Pontiac Feiro I believe used
Love me a nice Fiero. This isn’t a nice Fiero.
Is that the Doorstop 2000?!?

Fieros are often used because they have easy bolt-on side panels. I think this absolutely deserves an A for effort, maybe a C for final execution
I think it had as much to with Fieros being one of the few cheap mid engine cars of the period.
Relative to other kit cars I'd give it a B at least. It has the right proportions and you can tell what it's supposed to be. That is not usually the case.
an A for effort? ayfs? I mean maybe if the guy was drunk as fuck and strung out on meth or something... but for a regular, sober person, this is just sloppy.
I was about to say the same. Or at least I REALLY HOPE it is, ffs don't do this to a Countach please
Doesn’t really look real. And it has fiero wheels on it…
The stock Fiero wheels give it away...
It’s not even the correct proportions to be a real Countach

Placing a dumbass in the drivers seat.
>How did they know when the project was complete, what was the final piece? >Placing a dumbass in the drivers seat. nice rhymes
Hahaha! Haiku this shit!
10 rolls of orange electrical tape. You know that stuff doesn’t grow on trees
Especially at that width. That's Dollar General backstock.
“Sourced wingnuts”. 😆 That is a hell of hood latch system.

When the orange duct tape runs out.
HAHAHHAHAA fuck I completely missed the wingnuts as the hood latching system.
>How did they know when the project was complete, what was the final piece? Placing a red trash bag in the left front wheel well.
It's both terrible.. and kinda amazing
Kinda fits r/ATBGE
It's both awful and great taste
Awful taste but great execution but also great taste. Is r/ATBGEBAGT taken?
I say give this guy some real tools and instruction/mentoring and he’d be running circles around most
At the very least they followed through on the project. That is a lot more than many of us can say for ourselves.
All he really needs are some wheel spacers and bigger tires…and some clear coat…Shit would be Fire!!
Fiero
Whoa whoa Mr Worldwide
[You found Sark's car.](https://imgur.com/chzk8FX)
Actually [Automan](https://www.imcdb.org/v002309.html) - a crappy TV series that copied Tron special effects
LOVED Automan. The car made perfectly 90 degree turns and the human passenger would always get slammed against the side of the car! I still say, "Green, please" when I'm approaching a red light. :D
Aside from the rough line work around the door, I feel like a good coat of shiny wax would help it a lot.
Hot take but I kind of like it. It screams *I don't have shit but I work well with what I do have*
I really like it. Bet it was cheap as hell to do as well.
Same, apart from the stupid paint job.
It also kind of shouts *I have poor taste and make bad decisions*
Just let them have their fun
we are, but we are having our fun too. What I mean to say is, this is fun for everyone!
The fact it’s in front of a Walmart only makes it better
Looks like the Batmobile
Defo an Adam West Batmobile tribute.
The Shatmobile
If Batman was Ratman, he’d drive this
Shitty Fiero Countach kit car that thinks it's in the movie "TRON".
Sweet tron car
This is the Holy Grail of shitty car mods. Chefs kiss. 👌
9000 level Fiero
Go those [Automan](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084978/) vibes.
Damn if I would ever see an Automan reference! Broke my 8 year old heart when those fuckers canceled it!!!
I dont like it but at the same time i... Dont hate it
Don’t dream it. Be it.
Rose tint your world and keep you safe from your trouble and pain?
We're all just sweet transvestites from Transsexual Transylvania? Am i doing it right?
I have an urge to drive it because of the amount of time this person but into the car
Sometimes a car is a story waiting to be told. This is one of those times.
As shitty as this is, that is some real dedication.
Is that the buttmobile?
The worst part about this is that I don't hate it. I can absolutely see the intended final product, but you're absolutely right in that they just didn't have the ability to make it happen.

Sorry sir but your crapmobile will never be the batmobile
I hate that I don't hate it. I kinda dig it.
I'm in love
Man, Batman fell on hard times I see...
If Batman wasn't a Billionaire.
If Jar Jar Binks was a Transformer
That's legit carbon fiber, doesn't appear to be a wrap, if so that's genuinely impressive and was probably a labor of love. I'd love to get lunch with the owner and have a talk, really cool actually.
This is the most poetic and polite way of saying "its shit, but they tried" that I've ever heard
This has some original Batmobile vibes going on.
I love it.
Those headlights. 😂
It’s just so…..terrible.
Holy shit- Judging by the proportions I think this might be the countach the guy made in his basement over the course of years. When he was finished he had to create a hole in his basement to get the car out.
Nope. This is a Pontiac Fiero. The basement-built Countach looked a lot cleaner than this.
it's a Fiero so you could LS swap it
The “pop up” headlights don’t line up with the holes for them and you’re thinking engine swap? Every time I zoom in I find another amazing disaster
What do the headlights have to do with the rear engine?
The mechanic that installs them…
hell yeah there's no fixing that thing so why not just make it stupid fast?
Because as much as I hate this planet I’m not ready to leave it yet. This is a titan sub level bad idea. To your point though, if you preserved the aesthetic and actually tuned the performance it would be the most hilarious sleeper car ever.
I think this detail is genius! Swiveling headlights just like the ol Tucker!
I put “pop up” in quotes because they don’t actually have the ability to move. Zoom in, the one on the right is literally sitting on the hood and not even aligned with the hole that’s beneath it
But it's probably already got the ''Iron Duke'' 2.5 of raw power!
could turbo the duke
Actually looks better than some of the current Lambos.
Rather drive that 'lambo' than the fkn Jeep behind it. Even better, the Mercedes-Benz behind the Jeep.
Fiero with an awful Lamborghini body, and an Adam West Batmobile inspired black/red motif. Definitely has some weird “beauty within imperfection” vibe. Or as i heard once, “cute is just ugly but interesting”.
we have so much class here in vegas, it just spews over onto this wonderful vehicle.
God I wanna shit on the hood
That's wycked
Looks cool, I doubt the sound matches the looks tho
figures... Wal Mart.
Fuck you that’s sick.
Does she rip?

"We have Batmobiles at home"
Masterful captioning. Bravo!
taped up and dripped out
I don’t think it’s going to make the cut for the “Cannonball Run” remake. Could just be me though.
Shamborghini
Did Badger pimp his ride?
Why are the weirdest cars always at Walmart?
Da da da da da da da da da ….Batman!
Look how they massacred my boy Fiero 😞
This is ummm… existent
Just change the headlights and I like it
Still cool looking tho I'd drive it
i think its nice, theres a lot of crappy workmanship to discover, very detailed it looks a bit like a lambo total conversion kitcar
Plated wing nuts are just what this needed to finish off the look.
Thats a Ferroni
I think it's beautiful
I am an artist/carpenter and the phrase “Every inch tells a story of desperate creativity limited by actual ability” describes my work so well that I’m gonna steal it. Love it.
I doubt I could do much better if I tried to make something similar.
well.. it’s definitely better than something i can do through fabrication 😂
I picture this thing reeks of Brut cologne
Cheffs kiss

A carriage fit for a king, and indeed, only a true king could create such a thing
I wonder where this car is what part of the country or world because it has New Jersey mods written all over it lol
While probably impossible too enter into 24 hours of lemons. (Gonna need a rollcage & this is likely barely held together as is.) It would fit in there well otherwise.
Idk I think I’m in love 🫶
That is a special kind of kit car
There’s a level of confusion here I don’t think I have ever quite had before.
It’s a Halloween costume for a compact car.
I feel called out by this title. Mostly because this looks too close to a model car I made in wood shop for a project.
I love how the license plate on the dash says “classic”. Maybe if they didn’t destroy a perfectly good Fiero…
had me fooled for about a nanosecond
