WTF is this thing?

Cruising through town last night and saw this, had to go around the block to get a picture. Even my five year old said “Dad, what is that thing?”. “I don’t know honey, I don’t know. Look away...”

Is it a Miata hacked up? I would love to take this thing for a blast but fear I wouldn’t make it back alive.

Those wheels suspiciously look like Nissan Skyline R34 GTR wheels...

Looks like a Miata with a couple of motorcycles welded to it, but also looks too short (like transverse FWD) and like there isn’t room where the shifter is for a driveshaft

Looks fun.

Not sure about the balance though, having the seat just in front of AND outside of the rear wheels.

I’d be afraid to tip it right over.

I’m drawing a blank on what the front could be, but whatever it is, it’s gotta be FWD. Not a Miata.

And that must be the fuel tank above the rear wheels. Those exposed fuel lines are scaring me.

A car.

It definitely had a body kit front bumper on it... I was wondering if it was a convertible metro or something, which might make sense with the FWD setup.

A lot cheaper version of this:

That’s debatable.

Maybe someone will recognize the interior. The shape of the dashboard and the handbrake handle aren’t ringing any bells for me. It does kinda give off an early 2000's vibe, though...

Late GM J-body. Check the interior.

Seats are the right shape, and the dash, hand brake and console match.

White trash’s answer to the Polaris Slingshot.

Now I Know where Polaris got their inspiration for the Slingshot.

That’s what I thought originally... isn’t the slingshot titled as a motorcycle because it has less than 4 wheels? This would be titled as a car I guess? Are there advantages of motorcycle vs. car? Forget I asked, I’m overthinking the whole damn thing.

I'm not entirely sure, it would probably be registered the same as a ATV but I don't really know.
