      Really, anything can be load bearing. Question is for how long

    Well at least they’re using lag bolts when mounting to the now crumpled sheer pieces of metal designed to flex and give during accidents.

    And so many nails for the wood that definitely wouldn’t come loose from the vibrations caused by the road and air turbulence.

      If we are optimistic this could just be a semi-mobile ghetto hunting cabin they have just stopped at the hardware store before taking this thing to its forever home.

      I’d certainly hate to see the wind tunnel and FEA study on this.

        Nobody in their right mind would risk their wind tunnel with this. But it would be absolutely hilarious to watch

    This works until, and here me out… you have to work on the engine. You won’t be able to get to half the block to do anything.

    I’m sure this is totally and completely safe. I’m just going to stay far away from it because… um… I think it’s better to admire its beauty from far enough away that I can take in the entirety of it before a gigantic beautiful background of everything. Yeah that’s it. No other reason.

    This is the guy you want when the zombies come. He is super handy with what is laying around. But til then this guy is dangerous.
