Kinda flashy, i see it more of an italian interpretation of a corvette done by an american...

Dont know how to vote on this... i never knew this existed...

 

[Legro]

Looks like Ferrari kit car. Seriously uncool.

 

[OriginalCheezIt]

Spiral exhaust? SZ

Add to it the fact that it's basically a FR 330 P4, and this is pretty high on my list 👍

 

[GranTurismo916]

Looks ridiculous. Uncool.

 

[Huks]

It has the most ridiculous name for a car I've ever heard, that's for sure.

 

[Parker]

Duckface, seriously uncool.

 

[huskeR32]

Never heard of this thing, so I went to the Googles for more. Couldn't find much in the way of information about Meade or his cars, but I found quite a few pictures, including this one:

Sitting like that in a road car makes one look seriously uncool.

[Beeblebrox237]

Seriously Uncool. The basic shape is okay, but the details are cheesy at best, the doors are ridiculous, the exhaust looks like it was in an accident, and the driving position makes you look like an idiot.

 

[AudiMan2011]

The guy who made it has effectively took an old Ferrari 250 GT and ruined it.

Uncool.

 

[Adamgp]

Wasn't sure how to vote on this one. Ended up going with Cool.

 

[Joel]

He named the car after himself.

Watch out in a couple years for the 2016 Noob616 Noobissima.

 

[JAHHAJ]

An seriously ugly car based on a beautiful car, uncool.

 

[C-ZETA]

Watch out in a couple years for the 2016 Noob616 Noobissima.

If I tried that, I'd be in for some lawsuit.

I think the potential cool and undoubted uncool cancel each other out to a meh.
Or I simply couldn't work out which one you'd all vote since I was the first. In fact, it was almost certainly the latter. Yep.

 

[Panoz]

It's inspired by the beautiful 330 P4...

...but it looks like a squatted Cheetah in a way.

A high uncool from me.

 

[Dennisch]

If it didn't have that awful chrome piping, the side profile alone would make it a cool.
Since it is 60's Ferrari underneath it probably drives pretty nice, for a 60's car, and sound good too.

But he got a bit carried away with the details making it uncool for me.

 

[Liquid]

He named the car after himself.

Watch out in a couple years for the 2016 Noob616 Noobissima.

Naming the marque after yourself is fine (Henry Ford, Enzo Ferrari, Herbert Austin, Louis Chevrolet, Gottlieb Daimler, Walter Chrysler, Walter Bentley) but naming it after your whole name? That's just wrong.

This car is uncool before I realise it has the same forename as me which makes it desperately, seriously uncool. If I ever drove "The Thom" I imagine I'd look like this:

 

[Tornado]

This is one of the background cars from Speed Racer.

 

[Dennisch]

Hmmm. The Homer. For the low, low price of just $82000!

 

[Wiegert]

Wasn't this thing in Speed Ra-

This is one of the background cars from Speed Racer.

No. You don't just go stealing my thoughts like that.

Damn hive mind.

 

[Adamgp]

Don't knock the Homer. That car was very advanced for it's time. It even had rack-and-peanut steering.

 

[Slash]

Meh.

 

[Katiegan]

...I love it. I'd never even known of it's existence until now, but I love it. Sub zero.

 

[sparkytooth]

Coolio

 

[Roger the Horse]

Some guy called Thomas made a, large, powerful, phallic shaped automobile called the maximum Thomas.

Seriously, seriously uncool.

 

[GTPorsche]

An Italian car done by an American.

Seriously uncool.

 

[Dagger311]

I was gonna give it cool, but then...

[Joey D]

It couldn't look any more 1960's Californian if it tried too, and that's cool, but it's a museum piece, which isn't. I'm going to go with a high uncool, almost cool.

 

[Famine]

the maximum Thomas

Says it all.
