I had this set when I was younger!! Between the gull wing doors on the main model and the cool Indy Car, I got hours of play from this model.
But Yellow isn't a Cool Color, that's Green, Blue, or Purple.
This is such a good main model. A lot of cool features for the time, in iconic creator yellow.
This car wouldve been so much better if it could fit minifigs
Cool Cats? Oh, we're using Instagram slang. Gotcha.
Much cooler than the F1 cars announced today!
(seriously though, it is at least more unique)
An F1 on a day lots of F1 sets have been revealed!
Last time I checked, a truck was not considered a car.

My college theatrical lighting designer's favorite lighting gel was Roscolux Suprise Pink, a pale shade of purple, because you could use it as either a cool _or_ warm highlight, depending on whether it was being paired with a cool or warm main color. If your primary fill was a rose color, it would produce a cool highlight, but if your main fill was blue, it would look warm instead.

And yesterday's random set was an F1. Coincidence?

I think not!

I found another cool car! 60448
Quickly, to the cheese-mobile!
One of my all time favorites! Likely my oldest set to never be relegated to the parts bin - always made room on the shelf for this one. Great RSOTD :)
It was a great model for its day and for what Creator stood for back then. Not just an 'anything goes as long as it's 3-in-1' theme but one specifically for brick-built models with versatile regular parts. This not having a minifig or fitting one was due to that, and as a result we got a unique style with the gull-wing doors.
I always thought the car indeed looks rather cool. Having built it eventually, not so much any longer.
Yes, gullwing doors, but otherwise the shaping is odd

And I mentioned 8674 yesterday, which does look pretty much the same as the Technic f1 Ferrari
A deux:
If it takes forever then I'll wait forever
No ordinary boy, no ordinary boy is gonna do
I want a rider that's cool
I want a cool rider, a cool, cool, cool, cool rider
I remember when this came out and I saw the box art with the turned front wheels, giving the false impression that the car had working steering. I was ANGRY! How dare LEGO lie to us?!?
Little did I know it would get worse.

I was wondering exactly the same when viewing this image. Why do they show turned front wheels when it does not have steering?!

This came out, what, six years after Bionicle launched? Yeah, didn’t even notice.

Mistake it for a stick of butter and put it in your fridge, and it'll be plenty cool.

And they still show the shortest minifig legs bending in renders.
Originally retailed for US$9.99 and was a steal at that. The later increase to $12.99 seemed out of nowhere but was still a decent value. Back when inspiration models without instructions were allowed to be pictured! :)
