Little known fact: Rio D'Angelo was rejected by the friendly Comet People because he did not have exact change and, being a penny-pincher, tried to get away with Pro-Wings instead of the accepted interstellar footwear, Nikes.

Now, forgotten and alone, he hopes to raise comet fare by selling crazy people's automobiles online.

I can see someone buying this and bugging the crap out of their friends. Actually, I would if I bought it too: "Don't even think about getting in here without your sweatsuit!"

y2karl-thanks for sending coffee out my nose.

I can so see this thing being bought by some carnival and being displayed next to Bonnie and Clyde Death Car and Hitler's Skateboard.

And of course, I'd be there with bells on.
