A lack of attention to detail and half assed execution. Although it's no surprise you don't see a problem with it.

Yeah there are a lot of nice details, the custom tray and canisters in the rotary shaped bracket are awesome. Danny's engine bay is legit. My engine bay is being worked out right now

The door is incidental; just hanging there. He opened the door to escape the car and it's just dangling.

The car is being supported by the tension cables that keep the utility pole upright.

hoss - I believe you are right because if memory serves, it was seeing that exact car at the Chicago auto show with a sticker price of $36,000 that made me realize Pontiac was circling the drain.
