nice camo.

A crude disguise made of cardboard, yellow mesh cloth, and duct tape makes this prototype look like a high-school project to build a car from discarded materials. But it's not-it's actually a prototype of a newToyota hatchback coupe photographed recently in the U.S.



The car has a steeply sloping windshield, and uses small side windows at the base of the windshield similar to the Toyota Prius. At the front, projector beam headlights are set in a stylish silver housing, which indicates that this is likely an upper-end model. A criss-cross of tape on the taillights partially obscures the taillights, which have chrome rings around the individual lights. And one can clearly see that it is a two-door hatchback, not a four-door.



Identifying the car is a bit of a guess, but it is thought to be a Corolla hatchback, or possibly a new Scion.

LOL, that's funny. Looks like the cardboard box cars we build for the kids.

Ha... that "crude" camo is far more effective at hiding that car than that black tape crap they normally stick on these types of cars.

Haha, yep. Hides the detailed shape and lines of the car much more effectively. Still looks ghetto though.

it wouldnt be good however in the rain, or at speeds.

the other camo is so that it is hard for a camera to focus on the car.

Derelicte, my friend.

Let's break out the BLUE STEEL!

awful, awful movie.... so very, very retarded

I thought it wasn't too bad. I can take retarded movies but only to a point - college frat humor movies don't hit the spot for me, but movies like Joe Dirt and zoolander (which toes the line, but has some great parts) do.

Zoolander was awesome. How do you NOT laugh at:
Derek Zoolander: What is this? A center for ants? How can we be expected to teach children to learn how to read... if they can't even fit inside the building?
Mugatu: Derek, this is just a small...
Derek Zoolander: I don't wanna hear your excuses! The building has to be at least... three times bigger than this!
