Larry eventually decided...

Larry eventually decided that any kind of cross country battlefield vehicle was going to have to be both rugged and almost unstoppable. He remembered days out in the fields with a Volkswagon beetle. They had limited slip traction, were extremely light, had an air cooled engine, which meant almost next to nothing for repairs, and were water tight. They can float on water.

Larry also wanted a vehicle to be extremely fast. While the Bugatti 110 and the Hennessey GT were bitchin' cars, Larry had a thing for Carol Shelby and his super cars. They didn't get that name lightly. It was the Ford GT40 that had upset Ferrari as the world leader in Grand Prix racing. "Don't under estimate Ford when they decide they want to do something", his friend had said.

Larry thought about the Tuatara. There is an air of unknowingness about them. Larry had read the Popular Mechanix article about the top 50 sports cars in the world and was a little surprised that PM hadn't caught up to the Tuwey. "That may be on purpose though," he thought to himself. Some things in this world word of mouth advertising may not be the best way to advertise. There may be an esoteric group of people that had decided from the onset of the production of the Tuwey that keeping it to themselves was a better idea. Larry agreed with this thinking when he did a Google, and all the images that came back were repeats of posts. Someone or some group of people were keeping pics of the Tuatara off the web on purpose.

Larry figured he was going to have to have some plans about vehicles being stashed here and there for any kind of a battlefield theatre.

He was going to start with a little brute Subaru WRX original body type. It is illegal to put an electro-plate mirror finish on a car as it makes it almost invisible to see, and that violates DOT laws. From the sides, with a mirror finish, a car disappears into its own reflection.

It didn't work from above though. A mirror finish made for an easy target as blue sky on grey road tar was high contrast and not hard to determine.

Larry was going to put a scrape plate underneath the WRX and coat it with imaging film. He also added the same kind of imaging film to the top surfaces of the car. Then he connected the imaging from underneath to the film imaging on top and so the grey of the road was transferred to the top side of the WRX, and then, visually from above, made the car next to impossible to pin down.
