There are more advanced (basically 'super combo') versions, the Storm of a Thousand Blades and the Storm of a Million Blades; but Kate's not advanced enough to be able to do those yet.

Well, those are more archways than windows, but I suppose it's close enough for gov't work. (What a terrible interior design decision. White couches? They're impossible to keep clean... )

Hey, I like the Ohtorimobile. It's got this wacky sort of impossible-but-familiar thing going on. "It's the latest model," he says. It's a '57 Corvette (Bow-Tie logo on the WonderBar AM radio and all), except no Corvette ever had a back seat (what the?! :). It's red with yellow wheels, which gives me flashbacks to that one part of Yellow Submarine. ("Just park it here." "I'll just park it here.") Like if my '62 Impala were suddenly a two-seater with a turbo. Funky, man, alternate world stuff. I dig it.

The way he drives it makes me crazy, though. He never shifts into any gear other than first. :)
