    as for the jurrassic park thing, maybe they were just trying to make conversation about the VX and didn't quite go about it right. it does kind of look reptilian like with the small headlights and "fangs". but then again, i've even had my boxster referred to as a "go-kart". hehe!
    Being called a go-cart is high compliment. (of course, I DO get up at two-thirty AM to watch Formula1, and I DID buy one of those Vehicross things,so my judgement is questionable) I've never found anything more pure fun than a shifter cart

    That would have been a cool VX moment.

    Cars designed by spreadsheets make sense. Cars designed by engineers make history.

    For sure. It would have made the movie that much better. VXes just look soooo cool on the silver screen.

    That was back when CG was cool, now it’s just a lazy way to save money.

    Yeah, CG should be used only when conventional effects absolutely cannot accomplish the same thing. Take the movie Species for instance, or Alien 3. Both of those films would have been sooooo much better had they stayed away from CG as much as possible. IMO, CG has got to be TOP NOTCH (as in LOTR or Transformers) to be successful. Otherwise, its just crap.

    I now that CG was really going down hill when a first saw to movie The Mummy Returns. Up to that point most of the CG out there was fairly decent, there where some bad apples but not many. Then this peace of crap came out and you could tell the CG was all about saving money. It was a taste of things to come.
