One Geek to Rule Them All

January 17th, 2007 by TRIGGER

We get to see a lot of cool stuff on a daily basis at Trigger. Mostly we see amazing movie sets, read scripts for superhero movies, and watch movies before they are released to the public. But every so often, we get to experience something truly, really extraordinary.

This modified Honda Civic Del Sol was parked outside Trigger today.

The car is called the “H-Wing Carfighter”, and it even has its own website!

Obviously, we were geeking out.

  • Manufacturer: Honda Motors, tuned by the Incom Corporation
  • Weapons: Dual side-mounted laser cannons, bumper-mounted proton torpedoes, and dash-mounted targeting computer
  • Astrogation: Aft-mounted astromech droid
  • Affiliation: Rebel Alliance

Many thanks to Digg for linking over and pretty much bringing work to a halt yesterday while our web servers “crumpled under the Digg effect.” LOL.

    Right on! Thanks for the nice words- sorry I wasn’t there to meet you in person. Maybe next time… it sounds like you guys are having a lot of fun of your own!

    The H-Wing’s always been the best mod I’ve ever seen done to a private vehicle!
    You can tell this guy built props for Lucas!

    Wow! Pretty neat. I gotta feeling there’s a Flux Capacitor in there somewhere. Shove a banana peel in that and you’ve got a lot of Force.

    I’d like to add some light jocularity but my humour tends to be more on the dark side. Proably not too comfortable for a wookie to ride in.

    Can it nail a swamp rat at 2 meters like my T-16 back home? Even though I live on a desert planet and we have to pull water from the air.

    I just bought a 93 and I’ve been trying to figure out if I want to swap the bad auto tranny with a manual. Now I know all I need is a droid!!

    Two words: the man. I would kill for that car. Grats to the owner. Seriously.
