Paging Sarah Connor, your ride is here -- and it's glowing
A Russian gentleman has a thing for The Terminator and for glow-in-the-dark paint. In a lot of other places -- or a lot of other heads -- that might add up to a painting hung in the tastefully private confines of one's bedroom. Not this time. Instead of a keeping it to himself, he has showcased those twin affections with a mural that covers every panel of his black Toyota MR2. During the day, it is your everyday two-seater covered in what looks like a Terminator modeling shoot. At night, the fun kicks in when all that paint starts to glow, and the car looks like a stray from the Ghostbusters set. Does anyone know how to say "Feast your eyes on this!" in Russian?

Kind of cool in a "I don't like to admit that I ever turned thirteen" kind of way. How much does a paintjob like that cost??

Good luck running from the cops in that thing...then again, with 138hp I wouldn't be trying that anyways.

Well, if its a really twisty, narrow road, you might still be able to run...
except you can't from the radio

The paint's a bit over the top, but don't underestimate the vehicle itself. At 138HP it has the same power-to-weight ratio as an Audi Twin Turbo. Pop in the turbo kit, and it's kicked to 9.5:1 -- the limit the SCCA allows. BTW: the handling's just phenomenal.

Is it just me, or is it a States thing. Over in Malaysia, that would be a Toyota MRS and not an MR2.
