I just saw my first Rallyfighter the other day in person, and my girlfriend was wondering why would someone build something so odd… I explained it came from wanting to do something really fun (dune bugging), but in a vehicle that looks like it should have a missile complement on the spoiler, and Gatling guns on the front quarter panels (but tucked away, James Bond style). #Becauseitsfun!

Would love to drive this thing into our warehouse full of freight and have a bunch of couriers flip out over it, would be amusing.
