on my way home from work i was at a stop light behind this car and had to do a double take.



yes, you are seeing correctly. that is a Corolla that has been "transformed" into what appears to be a truck. they've got a homemade "cover" on it complete with a padlock. i wish i'd gotten a picture of it from the side because it was the most hilarious thing i've seen all day and totally made me think of the Top Gear guys.

who does this? wouldn't it be cheaper to buy a truck? people are cah-razy!

It might be cheaper to buy a real truck, but it'd never get as good gas mileage! ;)

As Jayne would say, high-larious.

Ambitious but rubbish!

Hey! I wonder how much it would cost to turn my wheelchair into a pickup truck? I could add some big tires, and a truck bed, then maybe put a gun rack on it...

I really don't think buying a truck would be cheaper, especially if you know someone with welding experience.

Top Gear! (other than that, I have nothing. Top Gear rulez!)

OK, see...this doesn't help the stereotypes people might have of Tennessee! I'm just sayin'!

You should e-mail it to them and see if you can get it shown in this current series over here - that'd be cool!

some people...

The Top Gear boys would definitely approve. But is it amphibious?

[tiggz.livejournal.com]

somehow? i doubt it.

[shebit.livejournal.com]

Shame. Everything's cooler if it's amphibious.
