I was thinking the Martini livery would match better with the collection of Focus Rally cars, since many of them are also in Martini livery.

Re: The Undead Gateway Thread

The killer (literally) though is that the lack of crush zones transfers a lot of loads into the occupants. Since the car is intended to be used in cities the vast majority of the time, any collision should be at realtively low speed and survivable. However, venturing onto the highway in one would be a risky proposition.

Re: The Undead Gateway Thread

You mean 4 hours till smackdown.

I'm hoping for at least a 7-9 season or more for the Ravens.
