Videos: Smart Car Monster Truck, a Bad Idea But Very Amusing

Posted October 08, 2008 10:05 AM

From The UberReview:

I will let the YouTube video speak for itself here because I don't really have a lot to say on the subject. Someone has clearly spent a whole pile of money turning a Smart car into a monster truck. Now that his or her stock options have probably taken a dive with the rest of the market, I would say there is a definite case of buyers going on.

It is really a 4WD tractor, with a car body perched on top.

Kind Regards....

If they really wanted to make a point, they should have made it a hybrid.
