Stole my line, dude. That totally looks like it could launch a submersible...

It has all the tell tale sighs of being a Burning Man "Art Car":
-The gigantic turning radius required to adjust direction is only available on the Black Rock Desert (playa in BM speak).
-It looks like it is specifically designed to haul a bunch of human flesh.
-It's 80% done.
-It seems to be covered in the distinctly colored playa dust already.
And people do haul insane amounts of stuff from the east coast to Nevada and back. That said, it would sell on craigs list in S.F. in 15 seconds if it was on the west coast.

Turning it into a car hauler was the first thing that crossed my mind too. But I think 3 axles in the rear is overboard and the V6 isn't enough.Hmm, it's wide enough and long enough to carry my Spitfire.... Nah!
FYI, Nissan NSX is the Japanese version of what we call the Acura NSX. Same car.

There's definitely acid being dropped in that part of NY State.

I asked the seller what the deal was. He built it to carry some dream of a gigantic chopper he was going to build and drive to chopper shows. Plans changed.
I sent him a couple Burning Man links and suggested he sell it to that crowd- he may not know it, but they are his people.

That would be Honda, not Nissan.

Your GRM sub would be cancelled. But I'd let you read mine when I'm done. That is after the mailman is done reading it and delivers it to me.

Yeah, you're right. At first I thought he meant Nissan NX2000 but I googled it and a Nissan NSX came up and stated it was the Japanese version of the Acura NSX,wlkelley3 wrote:
