I wish I had this guys money, but not his sence.
 

I'd take his money and his sense. He sounds like a smart guy and a hoot to be around. I'm game for having a silo and 35' missle in the front yard. It'd keep the neighbors from complaining.

...about anything.

It'd probably also deter theft, and vandalism. Much better than neighborhood watch.

Yeah, but on the list of things I would do with $1/4M, putting a jet on a new VW bug would be very low. But I figure to that guy $250K is like $25 to me. For $25, what the hell, it would be fun. But, I would rather do this.

Yes, I wouldn't be building jet powered anythings, but he's having fun.

Another guy has done the same thing:

Not a lot of thrust if the brakes can keep the car from moving. I would have thought the jet would push the tires across the pavement.
