    Unofficial: High rollers, sky high July.

    Luxury + Supercar.

    This is one for the Caddy fans really, but Buick is welcomed and if you can incorporate inspiration from LeSalle do ittttttttt! You can introduce different brands, but just briefly say why you chose it.

    Supercars don't have to be 2ft high at the roof... but there is a focus on performance. If you think this is eco-hate, make it eco-viable and eco-fast.

    two, three, four seats welcomed. This car must spoil the driver, it has to be something you park and look back at, and something that when stuck in a boring conversation you'll daydream about taking for a gallop and if there's no milk in the fridge you'll be the first to offer to fang to the shops...the long way.

    You have 'til the end of July!!!!! Get going.

    CEOs have to get out of town somehow afterall....

    Coooool, now if they could make it so it wasn't huuuuge and didn't weigh more than the sun it could be very nice.

    I got to looking at it, and noticed some things that could be tweaked a little bit, so I did.

    And... I name it
    Cadillac LTS

    Re-tweaked it. Last time... I hope.


    Now that it is posted I can't stop finding things that I want to change about it. Thank God for pencils and erasers!

    ^ Cool.

    Here's my work in progress, the erm..'working theme/title' is Pontiac Trans Am, but I can either inject way more Pontiac or turn it into something else. I didn't want something too euro looking, but wanted to go a slightly different way than the full on retro muscle car. Not finished, as usual.

    Would look better if you took the bottom grille layer off and made a small air dam at the bottom of the front. Other than that looks amazing!

    I tried the ornament, I'm not skilled enough to make it work.

    I don't think there's a point in having a voting thread, I'll post a theme now and then in the readers talent thread for a bit of fun... someone else might like to have an attempt at reviving the competitions.
