Re: [DMCForum] Re: OT concept cars...

So you're claiming that there is no connection between the two?  Because 
I smell a *very* significant resemblance.  This is the first I've heard 
of the "17 year old" theory, but it wouldn't surprise me too much.  I 
just wonder why the Chevy concept looks so much like a doctored version 
of the red car.  Even the wheels are almost dead on...

What about the drawing?  Was that Chevy or the kid?

Regards,
Jon Heese
