That's pretty funny. You can see the springs through the tailpipe, and there's no driveshaft connected to the axle with the gigantic rear tires.

I have seen this type of idea before down here, yet none of these fakes ever show up at my track.

I know were supposed to stay civilized and refrain from bashing others work....but that is the biggest example of a poser I've ever seen.

If it were actaully built like that....I'd say "now thats interesting".....possibly even "cool".

but here I am... stuck with "WTF"

This car probably has trouble "dragging" itself around.
