I'm quite surprised at the 0-60 time. Not as bad as what I would have thought.

Whereabouts are you located?

Good point - I hadn't thought about wet suits being used in the sun a lot. I think memory foam armrests might be a bit better though. I do like the way you think though. If a person could butcher enough old wet suits, one could make his/her own seat covers as a small test.

Maybe they could power it up using a jet-engined generator?

Neoprene on the dash could actually be pretty cool. I wonder how well it holds up under extended UV light...

Yes! I'm glad someone else thought of this as well!

Liquipel coated seats... that would actually be pretty awesome for parents with vehicles.

You missed the rare and exotic non-sustainable rain forest trees for that classy touch of wood.

I'm sure that's got to be more than 80 characters wide...

I'm guessing they are some sort of high efficiency light using pulse width modulation.

Awesome! Any chance of you documenting your build?

I'd say that's a bit of a stretch. No pun intended.

I actually just finished reading through this a week ago or so. I totally want to make a little cooking box/basket that sits on my exhaust manifold...

That V6 sounds pretty dang awesome.

Oh man. I honestly laughed out loud. Nice switch up from the regular pic.

Reminds me of my Grandpa's old grain truck. I think it was a '57 - still insured and runs (well, maybe once a year). I think it'd be an awesome restoration project, but ditch the grain box and put a custom built camper on the back. I imagine it's probably about due for an overhaul...

That's awesome.

I'll third that. His articles are hilarious, and definitely keep me coming back to Jalopnik.

... gotta love the diesel ones....

Modified tractors are awesome... this one is a regular at my hometown fair. There's some other pretty beastly machines there as well.
