Parker shared a little message explaining how it all started!

"It all started in my younger years as a kid. I grew up in a household where materialistic things are an addition to life, but should never be your meaning. My parents did a great job to help me focus on my hobbies and to find my passion. Then I reached a crossroad where my happiness contradicted my values. How is it some clunky piece of metal that gets people from A to B could be so appealing? What about this structure, mechanics and design made me smile so much? Something that has only 4 wheels is an extension of our personalities and I’ve always been the type to do things different so by me building a car that not a lot of people would shows who I am and brings me joy and puts a smile on my face each and everyday."

- Widebody kit
- ISC coilovers
- CF wing
