The wheels... lightweight, simple... genius idea so the guy pedaling doesn't tire out as fast!

Have you met Steve? Seems pretty funny, but it's fake. Drunk, driving a sky lift, and on the public road messing with a cop. Hill billy goof ball out to become an internet star



It's not entirely a bad idea, fake a couple funny redneck videos, then sell t-shirts, beer cozies, and pot paraphernalia... or even a double duty credit card beer bottle opener and pot grader. Goof ball

the Merc 9, looks like a '71 Cyclone, but that's just for looks. Under the skin it began as a 1969 Nascar Torino




Matt Robison is the owner and driver of the car and has been road racing since the late 1990s.

He’s wheeled the car to multiple podium finishes and front row qualifying sports at places like Sears Point, Laguna Seca, and Thunderhill Raceway.

For preferred aerodynamics the bodywork was changed to Mercury when the 70/71 Mercury Montego/Cyclone body became available — the same body style that gained record braking success in the Grand National series for the Wood Brothers with Donnie Allison, A.J. Foyt and David Pearson driving.

The large Mercury Cyclone body has not been shrunken, sectioned, or otherwise reduced to make it more slippery through the air. Jon Kaase handled that problem by a mega-horsepower 555 cu in Ford big block.

And now for something completely different





double enders aren't unheard of, but using a nose for an engine cover, that's new

the Brodie take off and landing system for Navy LST ships during WW2





Skip to the 7 minute mark for the take off, and hang around for about a minute for the landing by skyhook arresting wire

These L 4 and L 5 planes were artillery spotter planes
