Holy mother of wants

Just saw the new Petrolicious video about the Howmet TX (protip, if you hadn’t watched yet, stop everything and go see it) and immediately went after a model. There aren’t many, but look at this Bizarre Models resin, 1/43 version of this car

The story behind this car is amazing. Back in ‘58 they built this for $10,500 (money from that date) with an helicopter turbine as an engine! It sounds so futuristic!

Why are we living in the wrong future, full of SUVs, CUVs and without flying turbine-powered cars????
