    Does Ron from Hawaiian Tropic still own the car? I remember some infomercials he did with the car driving down the beach a few years ago...Sad to see it in this conditon:(

    Those exhaust pipes are hideous!

    Are those Michelin tires some old school model?

    The tread pattern reminds me of an old Formula 1 or Can Am tire.

    Ron's taste in girls is much better than his taste in exhaust pipes.

    And to quote myself...

    I was told that Ron may entertain selling it.

    Myself and a friend would both pay $200K and that will not but it at this time.

    I wonder if that exhaust really sounded like the sound track in the movie. Wasn't it a Ferrari sound track used?

    I always wondered what happened to that car. It should be in much better shape that that, especially considering the fact that that car is single-handedly responsible for making every kid Lamborghini carzy back in the day...
