Atom oneupsmanship...

[Mr. Woolery]

You may have seen the pic of the stormtrooper driving the Lotus Exige...it's been making it's rounds on the internets:


Well, someone had to do better.  I wonder who is silly enough to do such a thing? 

[Mr. Woolery]

Vader also likes use the dark side of the force to play with traffic...

[Ross McWilliam]

Priceless...although I see Vader has been eating a few too many pies of late... 

[Steve Gibson]

That'll be Girth Vader, Ross.

Very funny, Spaz 

[Flying Phil]

...awesome, Spaz. Now if we could just get a pic of Christian Hayden driving an Atom...

[whooops]

Very nice Spaz.   

[Ross McWilliam]

That'll be Girth Vader, Ross.

...and I guess that is 'Using the farce' Steve

Spaz, great job!

[Mr. Woolery]

The comments on the Jalopnik link are HILARIOUS!

[whooops]

So... did you hire a photographer just for this? 

[Glyn]

that is one of the best pictures i have seen in ages , it just works, where did you get the helmet i have gotta get one 

[Mr. Woolery]

I know a couple of really good amateur/semi-pro photographers, and we did a quick 10-minute shoot as a response to the original "Stormtrooper Exige" pic that's been going around the internet.  They had come out to one of my tech day parties, and we just whipped these pics up.  You can see more of their stuff at http://kinod.net

I just wore the Vader helmet along with my usual all black outfit, and it all just came together.  The Vader helmet was purchased the day before from a local Halloween/costume store that's open all year round.  It was a fairly cheap mask, costing about $35.

[whooops]

Haha, the comments are great
