Sorry for the IZ'ish pics, but all I had was a cell phone, and didn't want to get close for fear of a used car salesman attacking me:

Dear Lord...
"Listen, not a year goes by, not a year, that I don't hear about some escalator accident involving some bastard kid which could have easily been avoided had some parent - I don't care which one - but some parent conditioned him to fear and respect that escalator."

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Just another sad progression of the "bling" culture.  Ironically a coworker was just last week describing such a car one of his friends had stating that the doors were crap rattling around and all and his friend would drive around with the doors up to show off.  Ya gotta have the flash yo!

I know what it is, just never heard of term.

That wouldnt qualify as a Gull-wing according to wiki. we just call them lambo doors up here.

how hard would it be to ghost ride it? it would be tricky to get in and hout with that thing hitting yoru face.

ding ding ding [clap]

Almost, but not quite. Scissor doors, such as those on the Lamborghini Countach, open directly upward. These things, since hacked onto cars not designed for true scissor doors, have to open outward slightly before swinging up-ish. They aren't butterfly doors (see McLaren F1, Ferrari Enzo) either.

Wikipedia calls them "VLS doors", but doesn't explain the acronym. I call them hilarious.

VLS

Vertical Lift System





Personally

i like em

but

they need to be a 4-5k one-off mod

not an 800 dollar kit

it would limit the cars they were grafted to and thus they would retain their cool factor and not be seen on every other primered civic
