If I had $35,000 I totally would.

[Silly Putty Clock]

holy fuck this i would totally

[AlbinoClock]

drag a fence behind it

[Nightmare Clock]

Fuck your nice car, this shit is awesome

[Nightmare Clock]

Because the concept is an interesting one? Because the visuals (at the time) were pretty damn spiffy?

wait, forgot it has to have 3 hours worth of backstory and reason and it just flat out being fuckin' cool isn't a good enough reason

[TequilaClock]

No, because Tron was an asinine movie that I can't understand why anyone genuinely likes beyond an ironic 'that's awesome'.

It's not your cup of tea, but I do like the entire concept on it. It's obvious that others enjoy it too.

[Nightmare Clock]

Nah it was corny and stupid

So are the first Batman movies, the first Star Wars movies in terms of Special-FX, so on and so forth what's your point?

'i dont like it so it's ghey'

[Nightmare Clock]

Why do you keep talking about special effects so much? I don't love the first Batman movies, and Star Wars isn't my favourite either. Stop getting so touchy about Tron.

My point is why go into a blatantly Tron themed thread, say 'tron's I'm a edgy teen' and get defensive when someone says 'uh no'

[pop-tart]

I don't think the coolness of ownin this has anythin to do with the suckiness of the movie.

Phantom Menace sucked but I'd take one of them double sided light sabers..

Still, $35k could be much better spent..

[Nightmare Clock]

I went into a Tron lightcycle thread and said, in essence, a car is worth more than that kitsch on two wheels

Which degenerated into a movie debate after I said, in essence, 'fuck the car, that kitsch on two wheels is worth more than that'

[Nightmare Clock]

and then you said i came in here and started a movie debate even though even you admit it turned into one rather than started with my first post what are you even talking about are u high

Insulting the movie the thread is based around is close enough to starting / provoking the debate and NOW WE'RE JUST GOING AROUND IN CIRCLES DLSFKSDF FUCK IT

also no I'm not

[Slurpee]

that's actually really cool

if I had that kind of money to blow on a vehicle, it'd probably be like 8th on the list of 80's references I'd want to ride around on, (after the Ecto-1, the Delorean, the Bluesmobile, the A-Team van, KITT, The General Lee and The Classic) but it is really, really neat looking.

ediT: oh and airwolf, so I guess 9th.

[Flounderpa]

If I wasn't so broke, wanted to have a city motorcycle and wanted to feel flamboyant and nerdy while riding it, I could easily picture myself using it.
And the best thing, it's legal so no pull over for id checks and special licenses

[Pineberry]

I'd buy this then ride in circles around people to trap them ahheegeggehehheh

Expect every dumbfuck police officer to realise it's legal, yeah.

The smartfucks too

The smartfucks too

Smartfucks in any police force are a myth created by Hollywood.

Unlike the "Batpod" replica, the "Lightcycle" is being built for everyday street use. Each bike will come with a manufacterers build sheet and a certificate of title with purchase. Each bike will come with either a high powered electric motor or a high performance gasoline motor and transmission depending on the buyers needs.

Eh, I'd only be interested in owning a lightcycle if it was super unrealistically fast. Unless the lightcycle could beat my current vehicle in a 1/4 mile drag, not worth it.

Not to mention the whole 'looking ridiculous on a lightcycle' thing.

[DWARFINATORclock]

i want one

[INoodleClock]

I'd like to see this is action, bet the lights look really funky when it's got some speed behind it. Personally, I'm saving my money for when they finally develop speeder bikes.

[RabidClock]

This is a cool motorcycle, and if I had the money to blow, I would certainly consider one. Also I enjoyed Tron, the concept was very original for it's time.
