Looks like all four wheels actually steer too! What a strange build, looks well-executed though. Very GRM, makes you wish this guy was on here!

As well done as unconventional. I would drive it.

You had me at P34.
Luckily it's a couple thousand miles away.

So much strange here... it even has pop up headlights.

It does, wondering what other creations he has. On the right in the garage pics and under the blue tarp in one of the others.

This is creating strange and confusing feelings in me.

It looks like it started life as a race car bed.

Interesting to see what it could do though

Probable doubled up on the front axles so he could keep the snow tires and still have some grip.

Nice, the question about it is:

What is "sreet" and how can "sreet" become illegal?

I would drive the E36 M3 out of that!

Somehow it's fitting that there are a couple tree stumps next to the car.

Wow. The more you look, the weirder it gets. I always admire off-kilter builds like this. I wouldn't expect the builds to be on any popular site, because the feedback would be a distraction to the single-mindedness necessary to see it through. Remember how much grief Dick Bear got over his rear-suspension? And that was a comparatively tame build.

It confuses me, but I don't hate it.

Oh yes, I'm the one who lit the fuse on that mess. I honestly tried to keep him from getting hurt, even warning him that if he didn't fix it, he'd spin off the road backwards. I came across as such a jerk that he decided to teach me a lesson and built it anyway - and spun off the road backwards. I learned from that, that you can be right, but if the message isn't delivered with enough tact, it's worse than useless.

At least you learned. I've been trying to teach my office manager for 20 years that it doesn't matter what you say as much as how you say it that matters. "Have a nice day" will start a fight if said with the wrong tone.

But I respect those that realize their dreams - even if those dreams make some people cringe. This builder's the right sort of crazy.
