LOL. Very eccentric...you're being way too nice. Good ole Jerry Weigart. Still busy with the Vector.

Obvious from my public name, I'm mainly interested in Vectors, but that doesn't mean I don't love other supercars- Ferraris, Lamborghinis, etc all make my day too!

Vectors are not known by many, since it was firstly displayed way back in the 70's & died in mid 90's, so it's actually a little unknown for most people (especially people under 30). Here are some pics of Vectors.

Cheers.

Vector W2


Vector W8


Vector WX-3


Vector M12


Vector WX8

Got a few shots of that yellow one myself.

Welcome to the site, I am the fun loving chubby guy banging a way hotter girl than I should... Nice to meet you..

I used to love Vectors, had a poster of one in my bedroom as a kid...

Welcome aboard. I too was in love with Vectors as a kid ( I'm 31 ) - I had a grey w-8 on the wall!

They actually revamped the Vector Auto project...

Here's the concept ( the front end looks like a late 90's Camaro )...



You can read more about what the company is doing currently HERE.

Jerry... eccentric? That's the understatement of the year!

The guy has tons of energy and vision, but no focus.

Saw the "new" car about four years ago - it was nothing more than
a fiberglass shell propped-up on some square section steel tubing.
Corvette running gear (suspension), but the brakes were missing.
Viper V10 engine sitting on a stand nearby, intended as the powerplant.

Supra Gen 4 (93-98) headlights.

Not too bad looking- was a little dated even then, and even more so now.

Jerry's probably not selling many watercraft vehicles right now...
Always looking for the next big investor so he can create and play.
Which is fine, but not a good business model.

Ain't that the truth; everything had to look like the space shuttle inside (except the Delorean lol.) I need to track one of these down just to sit in it and press all of them.

I've always thought the Vector to be one of the sleekest, most beautiful super cars in the world. The first ones are still my favorites.

I remember first seeing one in a magazine, Motor Trend, I think it was. I remember them calling it a "spaceship on wheels." A very fitting description.

That new-erish one reminds me a ton of the SSC-Aero. Or the car from that old Charlie Sheen movie.
