Replica Cars

You know, when a movie comes out and features a cool-looking car, it doesn't take long before someone creates a fan-built homage to said vehicle. It doesn't matter what it is — the Batmobile, the General Lee, the Green Hornet's "Black Beauty", the Ghostbusters' "Ecto One", Mad Max's V-8 Interceptor, or even James Bond's Aston-Martin DB-5 complete with bullet-proof shield, hidden machine guns, and oil slick spray — sooner or later someone is going to roll one out of their garage.
Now some of these are relatively easy - get yourself a 1969 Dodge Charger, fit it with a roll cage, weld the doors shut, and paint it orange with a Confederate flag on the roof and a big "01" on the door and you too can be driving around in the General Lee. Others take a little more time and effort, depending on how true to the original vehicle you want to be.
And then there's this car. If you were create a 1 to 10 scale with a "General Lee" lookalike as a 1, this vehicle is at least a 27.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you "The Spirit of Nemo".
