If not LEXUS will.

I can't believe that there are no bids on this creation that has left me breathless! Yes, it certainly has taken my breath away, the same way just before I puke every last thing thing from my internals. I think I will puke some more.

This thing is truly FUBAR!

A flower planter for people with no taste?

Hello Everyone
The portable flower planter for people with no taste? LOL.
The new mars rover made for NASA? LOL.
The new AMA approved nausea test device? LOL.
The new pentagon secret urban assault vehicle final prototype? LOL.
The OSHA approved baby stroller final prototype? LOL.

Have a great day.

That hideous thing has got to be almost as underpowered as the 4 cylinder, naturally aspirated 200D, seven seater fintail limo.

a failed Rorschach Inkblot Test

Help; my eyes went on strike

I know what it is a failed Rorschach Inkblot Test!

Or is that what the cat in the hat coughed up?
Oh, Sorry: the imagination of Dr. Seuss is better!

What where they smoking?

I don't know what they could have been smoking, but it surely couldn't have been legal to come up with something like that....

You all laugh and make fun of this wonderful creation. I love it! True, there are some details such as the mirrors , being underpowered, and center drive (I wonder if they could have fit TWO 617's in there?) should have been given more work. If they used the sedan as the front half, bumps in the road would be no problem. However, using a TD, the self-leveling hydropnumatic suspension cold LIFT the middle wheels off the ground if you were to stop over channel in the road! I bet it would make your "camping" trip real fun having to push that 7000lb+ monster to flat ground .

Edit: After giving it some thought, I realized the hydro suspension can't "lift" anything but only push down. If the wheels go below "level" it will still return the pressure flow.

This could be the the result of a German version of the old Johhny Cash song "One piece at a time".

Hello Everyone

You could pay me 50k to drive that; to the crusher!

I agree; what they where smoking was not legal!!!!

Could it have been built with plans from MAD magazine?

I've seen better looking things in my cat's litter box or in a construction site port-a-potty.
