Rocket Bunny was cool when it was unnatainable on this side of the ocean and the only available pictures of it were of the original demo car. It suffered the same fate as Supermade after it got knocked off and distributed among the provincials.

Yeah, but knockoffs shouldn't kill the original. They should make you appreciate it even more.

The picture you posted is so cool, and no amount of knockoffs will change that.

Yes, but unfortunately everyone who has 'built' a Rocket Bunny car has done a terrible job, which has not helped its image.
At least with other aero that was knocked off, such as Uras or BN, there are still plenty of people who made it look cool.

But the people who build shitty knockoff rocket bunny cars shouldn't even be included in that image haha, that's what i'm getting at.

Even if they buy a real kit and mess it up. Everyone is into different stuff. Appreciate the original, and those that get the style.

Who cares about people that fuck it up. That shouldn't ruin the ones that are done right.

If I had a dollar for everyone that liked rocket bunny when it came out, then started hating it because social media said so...i'd buy this site and delete it....and buy a bunch of other stuff with the left over money.

I think I get what Matej is saying. I got a certain satisfaction when seeing the rocket bunny demo car because it was done exactly the way it was intended to be. And I liked every aspect of it. Now, it's not that they are copying it but more that execution is 9/10 times horrible, so that satisfaction is gone. Which just becomes more and more disappointing. You can't ignore the people who don't do it right. There was a time when you'd actually look forward to seeing another rocket bunny car. And now that it's in everything, and more than likely not executed with the right style, it leaves a bad taste.
