I saw that "Hemizon" up-close in person at this year's Bilsport Performance & Custom show! That thing is mental, especially with so much of the weight sitting on those insanely skinny pizza-cutters the owner calls front wheels! I stared at the headlights and glass for a good while contemplating licking them due to how…
