Just because you can, doesn't mean you should...

This is extreme but such "monster truck" conversions are not that uncommon here in the US. Whenever I see one, I instantly think "That dude does not feel remotely as stupid as he looks." But then again, that also is why they continue to exist.

What chaps my ass most about shit like this is that these cars will absolutely crush me in my normal vehicle. There *are* laws about how high you can lift a truck (I believe it's 30 inches in my state), but it never seems to be enforced.

Hm, if I were to drive such a beast, the radio better be quite loud. Otherwise the gargling sound from the gas pipes would cause too much of a bad conscience. How many feet do you get from a gallon with this? Or can it actually be measured in miles?

Where can I buy one, and how much do they cost?
(KIDDING!! The insurance alone is probably a killer....)

Clarkson reviewed the Hummer a while ago. He was getting 1MPG fuel comsumption...... The engine needs to be big to haul the peterl tanker it would need to go on a long drive.

Okay, I'd have an H2 if only I could afford it, but the Lambo doors *are* rediculous. (I think it was 50 cent who came up with that shit in his his lyrics.)
