It's kind of a Desert Warrior Deusenberg. (including the fancy travel trunk and hood ornament)





I'm pretty sure I can't afford one (or even the tires), or afford to insure it, or get it registered for street use in VA.

Or park it anywhere (esp in a parking garage  Grin)

I want to see the on board jack.

But I like it.

I would say its pretty cool.  If I had more dollars than sense and lived over there in the dessert, that would be a mighty fine way to get around I think.

Reminds me a little of one-upping of Hitler's tandem touring car. It sure is fugly. Not that I don't like excesses, love the Blastolene Bros. one that Jay Leno's had on his show at least twice and I believe was sold at Barrett-Jackson a few years ago.
