This is both impressive and terrifying. I love to hate it.

Well at least they’re using lag bolts when mounting to the now crumpled sheer pieces of metal designed to flex and give during accidents.

And so many nails for the wood that definitely wouldn’t come loose from the vibrations caused by the road and air turbulence.

If we are optimistic this could just be a semi-mobile ghetto hunting cabin they have just stopped at the hardware store before taking this thing to its forever home.

What do you mean homeless? That is a home.

Also possible but more depressing... not really optimistic.

I'd certainly hate to see the wind tunnel and FEA study on this.

SzethFriendOfNimi 7 points 2 years ago

Nobody in their right mind would risk their wind tunnel with this. But it would be absolutely hilarious to watch

This works until, and here me out... you have to work on the engine. You won't be able to get to half the block to do anything.

This is the guy you want when the zombies come. He is super handy with what is laying around. But til then this guy is dangerous.

I'm sure this is totally and completely safe. I'm just going to stay far away from it because... um... I think it's better to admire its beauty from far enough away that I can take in the entirety of it before a gigantic beautiful background of everything. Yeah that's it. No other reason.

Have you ever seen or attempted a DIY project that seemed like a good idea at first glance, only to realize it was a total disaster later? Share those moments here!
