	The latest incarnation of Rusty Slammington (AKA THAT BMW) has been unveiled at SEMA today. Love it? Hate it? Couldn't care less? This car albeit polarising, will always be at the forfront of our passion in its absurdity and boundary stretching ethos.

	Prefer it to its last incarnation, never really thought the roof chopped worked on it until now. Always liked the car and the amazing levels of hate it seemed to generate from some people.

	Love it. Keen to see inside as I haven't seen any interior pics yet! It's got a tube chassis and S38 race engine now too.

	HNNNNN NNNGGGG!! I wouldn't class this as a rat "styled" car anymore considering, it's not styled that way, it genuinely has been on fire. Before that it was rat "styled" as it was purposeful rust. I'm so glad he put the effort in! For those who don't know, it looked like this before...

	I don't normally like ratty looking cars, but that just looks so good, kinda like if mad max went racing!

	Another positive vote here! I like it A LOT. Seems to have struck a great balance between the competing styles in my eyes

	I would still love it if it were stock underneath. The fact it is uber hi-tech makes it even cooler to me.
