Sports Truck: Not As Cool As It Sounds

If someone ACTUALLY does the above, even if it’s with clay and action figures sun bleached from the attic, I will post it on here for all the world to bask in the awesome.

AND: Fixer jpburns says, “Ah! Here we have a rare sight indeed! The natural enemy of the wooden pimperfish, The hybrid red-necked spoilered truckfish is a solitary creature, much like its distant cousin. Here we see the elusive creature using camouflage to make itself more appealing to females. Alas, most females are able to still tell that no spoilered truckfish can really make a suitable mate.
Should a spoilered truckfish and wooden pimperfish ever meet, conflict is almost guaranteed as the two will attempt to show dominance. The irony of their natural violence towards each other is that, since neither species has a high reproduction rate, they’ll more than like end up driving each other to extinction.”

    What the hell??? I hope the owner has fire insurance, cuz someone should do them a favor and burn that abortion to the ground. FAIL!

  2. Jim says:

    This would not work for me without the two level spoiler on the back. A single level spoiler would just be a insult to the ideal implementation of the corve-truck.

    • Sticky says:

      I don’t think you understand. The spoilers aren’t just for looks. The lower spoiler holds the back end of the truck down to the road, to give better traction. The spoiler on top of that is actually holding the bottom spoiler down, so it doesn’t just fly away. What they really need to do is take that 3rd spoiler off of the roof and put it on top of the second one in the back. As it stands now, there is nothing keeping that second spoiler held down.

      • A Random Pooka says:

        This guy needs to run his exhaust up through the bed of the truck and vertically behind the cab like the rednecks around me do, so it looks like they’re driving a Peterbilt or some rig like that.

        The only good reason I can think of for anyone to do that is that when you’re at high RPM, the exhaust pressure will create downforce on the rear wheels and improve traction.

        That coupled with THREE spoilers would make this truck stick to the road like a fly on a wall. You could drive up a building if you had three spoilers and downforce stacks!

        • A Random Pooka says:

          Also playing cards on the spokes of his rims. Most effective with true wire wheel rims with one center lug.

  3. Ironica says:

    Why? Simply… why? *Whimpers*

  4. cosmitchny says:

    I’m so confused… are they spoilers, wings?
    According to wikipedia:
    “A spoiler is an automotive aerodynamic device whose intended design function is to ‘spoil’ unfavorable air movement across a body of a vehicle in motion.”
    where wings:
    “are devices whose intended design is to generate downforce as air passes around them, not simply disrupt existing airflow patterns.”
    Couldn’t find a definition of devices whose intended design is to add awesomeness with total disregard to aerodynamics :)

    There is a line between kludge and aberration. You cannot see that line from here.

    • kc/cc says:

      I think we all can take some guesses at where that line is. It was probably crossed by the time the hunt for parts started, though.

    It Looks like Batman is drunk driving again…

  8. Chad says:

    I like race trucks!

  9. Elemerides says:

    It’s a transformer with Hiccup!

  10. fluffy says:

    It’s the bastard child of.. oh nevermind. I don’t want to imagine what created that thing.

  11. timbenzidrene says:

    Anyone recognize the tail piece/tail lights as that of a Corvette???
    “Shoot, Cletus……..If’n I gots a corvette rear end, I’ll be shore to go a might faster! HOOOOEEEEEEE!

  12. TexasDan says:

    Just wait till the insurance money comes in from burning down mom’s trailer home. THEN you’ll see teh awesome.

    • kc/cc says:

      I was kind of looking around for some fish this guy had caught, but clothes might hang there just as easily. A real all-purpose rig, I guess.

  14. dono1 says:

    Goofy looking? Yeah, but I bet he gets terrific radio reception.

  15. beverly says:

    If we could just see the hood ornament…

  16. Pat says:

    Vroom, vroom?

  17. Sarkasm says:

    When an Autobot has Multiple Personalities Disorder, weird stuff happens…

  18. blkgrrl says:

    Unless it’s a formula one race car- and it ain’t- I can’t imagine why it would need spoilers. Wishful, fantasy, magical, make-believe thinking? OMFG a corvette rear on a pick-up!!

    I hope there’s follow up photo after the paint job. 1.19 per can at Walmart, brushes and rollers extra.

    • ann says:

      don’t need to waste cash on brushes and rollers: Rustoleum comes in spray cans!

      • kc/cc says:

        I was just thinking of how maybe it’s already been done, but the rust keeps eating through. Even Rustoleum can only do so much in extreme cases, after all.

  21. Orv says:

    Buckaroo Banzai was beginning to think he’d never finish his rocket truck…

  22. Thadius says:

    It’s alive! It’s alive! They told me it couldn’t be done! They told me it was mad to try! They begged me not to make this abomination to nature! WELL GUESS WHO’S RIGHT NOW, MOM?! AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAH!

  23. Jompe71 says:

    It’s a bird…? it’s a plane…? NO, it’s a red-neck-i-o-vette.

  24. herds789 says:

    People, you’ve got to allow some stopping space between yourself and the vehicle directly in front, or you’re going to end up in someone’s a**!

  25. MacGyver says:

    Cletus von Richthofen was determined to live up to his family name – even though after all these years he still had trouble controlling his urge to giggle whenever he talked about his great grandpa Manfred’s Fokker triplane

  26. Joe Btfsplk says:

    Needs a .50 caliber machinegun mount and some rocket launchers…..and a camo paint-job.

  27. Dogmeat says:

    This is like Mad Max meets Transformers meets Knight Rider. In a post-apocalyptic world, “Mad” Sam Knight speedily drives his vehicle and rusted companion T.R.U.K.K. in an epic race to Bartertown. The winner’s vehicle will then transform to face off in the Thunderdome against the undefeated Goliath Prime to hopefully emerge the victor and claim the coveted All Spark.

  28. Soundnous says:

    Somewhere, someplace, is a Franken-Corvette driving around with DATSUN written on it’s tailgate.

  29. anonymous says:

    this should be on thatwillbuffout :/

  30. todd says:

    It’s the mullet car. Business in the front, party in the back.

  31. dw says:

    The looks of that truck are officially spoiled.

  32. rickybobby says:

    Redneck Batman needs to apprehend one more villain to swing the rest of the Batcar from Mobile’s paint job down at Earl Scheib.

  33. Gary says:

    I wonder if it has a hitch ?

  34. Chris says:

    uggh clearly too much time and too little education went towards creating this eyesore.

  35. TheAntiCat says:

    Wait til the second half when Hammond breaks out the Maloo. A real race-truck!

  36. Mooseman says:

    Wait! Bumtruck is evolving!

  37. Sarge says:

    I hear banjo music…

    … be afraid, be very afraid.

  38. Ducked Ape says:

    If some is good, and more is better, then too much should be just about right.

  39. Doug says:

    This is almost as good as one I saw the other day: motorcycle in front, VW sedan in back, trunk and all. I still don’t know how the hell he steered that thing.

  40. De Jappe says:

    It’s not easy to capture the moment when batman transforms his average truck into the batmobile but this person did it

  41. Benny J says:

    “Well, the damage was extensive, and we weren’t sure he was going to make it. But we had the technology, we made him stronger, faster, better. Plus we had that junk Vette in the back of Tony’s house.”

    Sometimes even Micheal Knight has to pick up a load of mulch.
