(Yes, I love kit cars. They're like bad folk music.)

This one comes by way of ebay, as do a number of these monstrosities. The description claims that it's a Lamborghini kit, but it's more clearly an attempt to replicate a Ferrari Enzo, or Enzo Ferrari, or whatever.

Apparently, you can’t call it a “Ferrari” if it’s just a bunch of plastic glued/stapled/taped to a Fiero. Who knew?

I stumbled over a few of these in an archive (I find kit cars to be almost the funniest thing on earth), and thought I'd amuse myself with ready-made blogfodder:

We took a minibreak to Charleston, South Carolina last weekend. Kat made the hotel reservations with my explicitly stated requirements, which, unfortunately, did not include "centrally located". As such, we took what the Wentworth Mansion called a "suite", which is two big rooms divided by pocket doors, one bathroom, and, umm, that's it.
