Hey guys, this doesn't have anything to do with dents but i couldn't resist posting this.
We've all seen weird things going down the road, weird (ugly) things on e-bay and Craigslist (dents with lambo style doors ) and on and on.
Well, I was going down I-95 a couple of weeks ago in South Carolina and spotted this....this, uh, well I don't know what the hell it is. Anybody got any ideas?
I see Chrysler, Cadillac, Mercedes-Benz, Chevy, T-Bird (I think), Audi and who knows what.
I will award points for "uniqueness and originality.
And yes, it was actually driving down I-95!

 

Wow that's plain crazy looking

 

Whatever it is, it should be shot!

 

lets see if Bill can come up with a part number on that

 

WTF...That thing is gonna cause a wreck either by distracting others or because the driver can't see.

 

It's a Mercedes... actually multiple Mercedes sedans.

It was featured in a show called "Cruisin' America" or "Wild About Wheels" or something like that. The owner is a European who emigrated to the US back in the 70s... he apparently took one too many hits of acid.

There was another guy who modified a Chevy van that is gussied up much the same as that Benz.. a Finnish guy. It's also stretched, has front and rear steer, plus a sauna in the trailer he tows... the trailer is, you guessed it, a portion of a Chevy van.

 

Reminds me of this:

 

what the....

 

That's just wrong on a molecular level....

 

Hey it's crazy and definitely someone's pride and joy. I wonder how much it weighs and if it has rear wheel steering. There's an annual art car parade here in Houston and lots of wild looking rides, this would fit right in.

 

Kill it with fire

 

hope the chrome is equal on both sides or on will be faster then the other.
not gonna lie thought it was a burning man car at first.

 

Yes, it has rear steering. Look at how the rear wheels are turned left.
