Re: Found my next car... Ronn Motor Company: Scorpion

Well they are a real company selling stock. They appear to have only begun selling stock about 2 months ago though. as the first sale appears to be mid-late April 08. Claims the prototype of this hydrogen powered scorpion is due out June 3.

lol, sorry mang....It does look really good but I could tell by the shadows alone. The edges of them are too harsh and should be a lot softer. They also don't blend like they would in the real world.

Re: Found my next car... Ronn Motor Company: Scorpion

I love the comments some people on those sites have made...

One poor guy was going on about how "People who can afford that car dont care if gas is $1/gal or $10/gal, stupid car etc yadda blah"



You've gotta compare apples to apples... and $150,000 for a car that would rival Ferrari's and Lamborghini's and gets 40mpg as opposed to like, 8mpg (Murciélago) is pretty ****ing impressive!

Wow, I must be out of it today. I didn't even realize it was past the date when the prototype was due out.

Re: Found my next car... Ronn Motor Company: Scorpion

It won't achieve those economy numbers WHILE competing in the supercar class on performance. What they have said is that it CAN compete with those cars AND ALSO get great economy (when not trying to compete performance wise).
