Saw the hot rod at the local Home Depot. I realize it's not finished but I dig it nonetheless. Very cool to behold in person.

Not sure if you have weed busses in other states. It's a bit of a change from how it used to be around here.

I would guess that's as finished as the owner expects it to be.

Neat car. The use of the Cadillac dual-snorkel air cleaner cover doesn't really fit the rest of the car to me, but whatever. Cars like that are neat to look at, but that's kind of where it ends for me.

I saw one of these yesterday:



It had no badges indicating what it was, but teh Googlez eventually figured it out for me. It sort of looks like an overinflated Honda Element in person.

I've always thought "Vehicle Production Group" was an inspired name for a vehicle production group.

The price is obviously ridiculous, but I'm not sure it's worse than the weird name dropping/shaming angle.
