All I have to say is why?

I know its not a 911, but this caught my eye while traveling to Kansas City this weekend. Pictures taken right outside Bentonville, AR (home of Wal-Mart.)

I like it.

I also like Walmart, where I drive my 911 at least two or three times per month.

I like the fact that the guy seems to have an airplane in his backyard (first photo).

As to why, the answer is just because he can. That is the freedom of the USA. I think it is really stupid to build that monstrosity, but he did not ask my opinion. He did not need permission from anyone to waste his time and money. I have seen many bigger and more expensive ways to waste money.

I'd buy that just to drive on the L.A. freeways, cause it'd annoy the hell out of all the poseurs in their leased BMW SUVs. I like.

Wow, it seems as though I have struck a couple of cords, this was not my intention. It was suppose to be an interesting topic for some typical insomniac babble. Please, carry-on.

Really, that is cool - much better than those lifted British cars I've seen. Now if he was packing a SBC somewhere in there, it'd be even better.

Some things just can't be explained...you have to BE there

ps: I've visited Fayetteville, AR several times over the past decade...always had a fantastic time in that "college town".

gosh, at first glance I thought it was the body sitting on a trailer. Its probably 4 bolts away from a decent chasis.

There's a guy in Ventura County who has a VERY nice 240Z all jacked up on a 4x4 frame. I see him towing a trailer all the time. I think it's cool, personally.

as for the 914, awesome.

I've seen that for the last 3 years or so. I don't think it ever moves!

Good pictures!

I like it, but then again I have no taste and a bad attitude, fat belly, smelly breath, long toenails, disruptive flatulance and short attention span and habitual dip spitter...
