    [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_x5IziyOcAg[/youtube] iPhones and cars go together like frat boys and the Clap. We’ve already seen iPhone apps that let you track your car’s performance; an app that lets you remotely start your car; and the cool Zipcar app that’ll honk your rental’s horn so you can find it in the lot.

    [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ksowZ3AvCo[/youtube] While the Iron Curtain kept many bourgeois capitalist warmongering influences out, the Zaporozhets ZAZ-96X permeated that barrier via the NSU Prinz, which in turn looked across the Atlantic for some inspiration via the Corvair. Fast forward several decades, add some globalization, and sprinkle in a little “Pimp My Ride” flavor, and you’ll end up…

    [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_kvNCXbqtc[/youtube] There’s something horrifyingly seductive about an electrified Fiberfab Valkyrie …. you could rig it to run silent, sneak up behind unsuspecting enemies (Tesla owners?), and blast them right in the mucus membranes with an air-cannon filled with Bondo dust (judging by the bodywork, you’d likely have ample ammunition in the footwells).

    I know that picture shows a tissue box nestled comfortably in that R/C platform, but I wouldn’t be a true hoon unless the second I saw it my twisted brain came up with nearly endless permutations of what sort of insanity may ensue if you simply put something else in there. Of course, the sixer…
