Get A Life A**HOLE
A car so green that is turning into wood.
BEAVER WACK!!!!!
You would never be able to tell that he, only a few hours earlier, had an unfortunate accident with a hearse.
Nothing says “green” like cutting down a few trees to modify your car.
Are you sure he used new wood? He could’ve just as well have used construction site scraps, or even snapped up some good pieces from a demo site. Or recycled some crates and pallets.
Nah, it all came from suicidal trees.
Young Prius was so happy to live on the Island of Sodor. Every morning Sir Ginger Topham woke him up and stoked his boiler before driving him to the local school. On the campus, all the happy students would salute him with one finger raised. “Poop poop!” went his tailpipe. Prius was sure that he was a Really Useful Car.
well I agree with the poop poop part anyway
Got to say though, that’s a fine piece of woodworking.
I think it does improve the astethics. not that that is saying much
The fact that it DOES improve astethics pretty much says it all…
As long as that’s not balsa wood he now has enough mass to make that thing a car!
and in 3 weeks the car had shed it’s metal shell, and started sprouting bushes and trees.
That’s the story for the neighbors.
Actually, innocent little prius went for a ride with this bad boy: http://thereifixedit.com/2010/08/12/white-trash-repairs-it-for-car-repair/ and had a bit too much fun without enough protection.
Papa truck is understandably very angry.
It looks like he converted a fender bender repair into a camper shell. Good job seizing the opportunity, but he may have auto inspection problems: limited rear mirror visibility, no rear bumper, rear extension obscures tail light, no light on license plate. Another problem might involve all of those unsealed crevices combined with wind-driven rain.
Many states o not have inspection programs in place. Some do not even have emissions. This is actually a pretty interesting “fix”, but I’d hate to see the carnage after another rear-end collision.
Not to mention it’s made out of WOOD. Pretty useless in a crash. Failure to maintain equipment in original condition is a ticketable offense.
If he attempts to drive it, it will double nicely as a coffin.
Sweet.
Well, @Bob-H, maybe he lives in one of the 13 states that have NO auto inspection. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_inspection_in_the_United_States
Sure surprised me!
Kinda tough to tell from this angle, but that looks like a Maryland license plate. Maryland requires vehicle safety inspections only when the vehicle is sold. Of course, the police can still pull you over if they see an obvious safety violation.
It is. I saw this bad boy headed north bound on ritchie hwy.
He’s done some mods to it.
Please describe why this is not safe.
It’s probably the case — he lives in one of those 13 states that don’t have license or emissions test. I was surprised that Minnesota and Kansas were on the list (wasn’t surprised about Arkansas, Oklahoma and the Dakotas).
It’s a prototype for the new “Grand Prius Brougham”.
Looks like a steampunk Prius to me!
That guy worked at my old job. I could not believe it when I walked around the building and there to my surprise was the most glorious wood pimped out Prius the world has ever known. So much for my 15 minutes of fame.
I thoguht Mark Zuckerberg would be doing more well than this…
Is it possible to remove that additional trunk when it’s empty?
Would save some weight.
This is mind bogling, I mean it’s like a joke…..;)
My Prius returns with an upgrade.
Maybe he joined a country club and was trying to conform by making his car as ugly and innefficient as an SUV. Nice try anyway.
Suddenly paying for a yearly MOT doesn’t seem like such a bad idea. I wonder how much of that wood is structural.
Makes the T-Model look like an Enzo.
Its look like modified car
I like the way the guy is standing next to it, like he’s proud of it or something.
He’s got every right to be proud! Just look at the care in aligning the molding down the sides. the nicely mitred angles and the incredible level of detail. I’ve been looking for a man like that for many years! Now to find out if he puts the toilet seat back down.
Probably does. But only after the six coats of varnish have dried on the newly lathed and lovingly sanded seat he made for you to replace that plastic thing you used to use
Ginger kids always have to pimp out their vehicles the wrong way :c
Relax guys. He was just moving house and some of the furniture didn’t fin in properly.
I don’t think the Prius engine can pull that much wood. Maybe he gave it some more torque?
At least it LOOKS better now.
I want this upgrade for my Suzuki Forenza! Need more trunk space.
actually i have seen several cars modded that way, they often do it to save fuel (hypermiling) as hard as that seems to believe, probably the car is still underneath, and de passes inspencition due to that… theres a website about this kind of mods, called ecomodder
(im not saying it doesnt look ugly, though)
not so bad actually…
Well someone didn’t get insurance
)
Wow that would be as tifreric as that legendary bacon brittle
I consider you my food fun sherpa- lead on…
