The new Cam-XT Hovercar from Chevrolet, that’s what!
Based on the turn of the twentieth century line of Camaros, the affordable
Cam-XT offers powerful dual forward/reverse thrusters, stylish swept
stabalizing fins, and a stable array of lifters that offer the ultimate in
hovering experiences. The Cam-XT features a deep, heavy grille, giving the
vehicle a mean, hungry look, while graceful curves roll away from the nose,
offering a smooth, aerodynamic ride. With seating for one, the Cam-XT is
perfect for running about town. Adequate storage is provided just behind the
driver, and a fully digital instrument panel rests beneath the carefully
tinted windscreen. Rest your hands on the handlebar joystick controls, and
let the Cam-XT lead you into luxury!

The idea for this hovercar actually started with the grille. For some
reason, I decided that I should build something around it. So, I started at
the front of the car, and worked my way back. When I was finished, it
reminded me a bit of the camaro my friend had in high school.
Comments appreciated!

Mr. Davis,
This thing rocks. But I think the color and printed surfaces make it look
more like a service vehicle than a sports car. I see this thing ripping around
between big ships on a space port somewhere. To bad they don’t make a 1x4 tile
with “follow me” printed on it. In regards to the tiles on top of the window,
I agree that they break up the flow of the vehicles curves. However, studs
would look vulgar and on such a small platform I think they would really stick
out. If you buy into the utility vehicle thing, then you could replace the
current smoke tiles with colored strobes in either yellow, red, or a combination
of colors (visual signals are a key redundant safety feature for space port
utility platforms…). But coup or utility, I certainly agree that a babe
should be driving. Maybe the Rock Raider Babe with a yellow hard hat (again
with the utility thing). I would love to see different versions of this
thing. Cops, Medics, Fire Chief, Crazy Race versions. It’s totally cool!
Attack! Mike
