Always wanted my car seat to resemble a wrinkly scrote.

It was the 70's - the natural look was in!

If anyone's curious, it's the Maserati Boomerang. Vector Aeromotive vibes with that thing

The seats/steering wheel seem to be designed as if you'll be accelerating at 6gs.

You drive sitting backwards?

Through the front of my head. When you crash cars designed like this at high speeds, the steering column smashes into your face, crushing your skull. My sister had this awesome book of accidents when I was young. Horrifying.

Oh yah it’s very gnar. She owned some old style car like that for a while, and loved it but was terrified of getting into a crash, so she sold it hahaha

Update the gauges and it'll fit into a cyberpunk setting nicely

I like to set up really straight when I'm driving, this looks like it would be terrible for me
