The other day I was talking with some friends about what my ideal car would be. No, cars aren't a terribly spiritual topic, but joy, friendship and laughter are, and we had a good time joking about each other's dream machines. This was one of mine.
Check this bad boy out.

This is WETA Workshop's re-creation of a vehicle from Microsoft's Halo video game series. WETA usually does movie props and such, and apparently there were plans for a movie based on the games.
Anyhow, for those not into sci-fi war games, this is called a Warthog, an out-of-this-world Jeep/Hummer hybrid built for the United Nations Space Command (UNSC) with independent suspension, 4 wheel drive, 4 wheel steering, and a legendary ruggedness, being able to take just about anything you can throw at it. And hey, if it rolls over, just press "X" to flip it! Well ok, so maybe the movie prop version isn't as packed with bonuses (and might be a little more difficult to turn over if flipped), but it is certainly a beast of a machine and I would drive one in a heartbeat, presuming that it became either affordable or street-legal... or had any semblance of gas mileage.
Even so, the attention to detail which WETA put into this thing is amazing.
A geek can dream...
Now it's your turn!
What's your dream car?
(feel free to comment... with pics if you can find them!)
