I don't care what it takes, I WILL own one of these one day. I'm only shy about $399,000. Can someone here spot me? I'm good for it:D

That looks like clothing from the 80's.

But also fun.

They're cool. I used to go see them at the Poker Run on the St Lawrence. They made a lot of noise.

One guy had one called "My Way". I think he had 2 helicopter engines in it. I think I heard it would do something like 180mph. They could only go for a short run full out because they couldn't really see with the turbulence.

Good stuff!

Here's "My Way"
