I spent almost a year living in a $300 toyota truck that I also drove to work and school. My only possessions were the truck, a mattress (in the covered bed that I insulated with packing foam) and my bass rig (bass guitar, not the fish). Did the gym membership thing to bathe.

If you want to trap a wild Jason — perhaps for the meat or luxurious pelt — a great way to do so is to tell one he can drive something interesting. That's what happened with this customized Pantera. It's an old car, given new life with some help from Nike's skunkworks design team.
