The H-Wing Carfighter. Pure coolness.

A very creative, and devoted, Star Wars fan modified his Honda Del Sol to look like an A-Wing fighter from Return of the Jedi.  According to his webpage, he bought the Honda specifically for the project, at a cost of $7,000 and has only put in about $1,000 in modifications.  Very nice work.

Check out the specs. and history of the design at the official website of the H-Wing Carfighter

As the election heats up, 1 question remains: Which Star Wars character should you vote for?

All of those designs above can be put on assorted paraphernalia: tshirts, mugs, etc.  Me personally…..I’m voting for Vader if, for nothing else, you know he’ll stick to his guns…saber…whatever.  Point is, if the man says he’ll crush the opposition’s throats, you know he’s being quite literal, public opinion polls be damned.  Statesmen of principle are a rare thing these days.

Thanks to Geekologie for running this story.  Order some of the above designs on your product of choice at Star Wars Election ’08.

Umm…….
