It's not just a bad pun anymore...
Star Wars fans tend to be a bit... well, fanatical, shall we say. Several of Newmoanyeah's staff even belong to this select group of geeky individuals *cough* Editor Steve *cough*. Usually, however, their inner Star Wars drive is reigned in by a significant other that tempers their fanaticism with a quiet dose of reality.
However, sometimes, just once in a while, you get a significant other that not only fails to restrain the individual but in fact potentiates it, taking their inner warp drive to a whole new galaxy. To that end, I now give you: Road Squadron.
Impressive. Most impressive.
Road Squadron is comprised of a group of creative individuals who have decided to re-design their cars into various Star Wars vehicles.
Yes, you read that right.
The most impressive of these is the "H-Wing" (above), a 1995 Honda Civic modeled to look like an A-Wing starfighter. The detail, both inside and outside, is quite impressive from the dashboard control panel to the side door lasers (which really should be a staple on all two door sedans, especially on the LA freeway).
You can check out the other models on the Road Squadron website and you may get a chance to see the finished products at a car show near you. Who knows, maybe they'll make you look at your old station wagon in a whole new light. Now, where can I find myself a pair of blasters ... Hmmm...
