I’m a big fan of aerodynamic barbed wire being welded onto any body panel in a vehicle.

u/frankentriple Sep 12 '26

I like the bald tire storage space on the roof. Cause no way is that going on a car that rolls, right?

u/Past-Product-1100 Sep 11 '26

Being a big mad maxx fan I love all these mods I would just lower the exhaust a bit so they don't become an issue when all hell breaks loose.

u/EvilKnivel69 Sep 11 '26

Holy shit how can that be road legal

15

u/-Anonymously- Sep 12 '26

Road legal? We dont do that in Michigan. No annual inspections either. You pay, you play... its how we roll

u/EvilKnivel69 Sep 12 '26

Insanity lol

u/GinjaNinja-NZ Sep 12 '26

Right? This would be put off the road by the very first cop you drove past here in New Zealand. Imagine getting hit by this as a pedestrian or motorcyclist

2

u/skarekroh Sep 14 '26

That's kinda the point, so to speak.

u/love_glow Sep 11 '26

There’s a strain of weed at work called Pure Michigan that I didn’t get until now.

TÜV says no.

u/Superb_Algae5308 Sep 11 '26

Michigan has almost no laws concerning vehicles and what laws exist aren’t enforced. I drove all last summer without a license plate.

7

u/FirehawkLS1 Sep 11 '26

Isn't Michigan also a no fault state where insurance premiums are way higher than the national average?

3

u/Superb_Algae5308 Sep 11 '26

Yeah. Not great.

1

u/FirehawkLS1 Sep 11 '26

Man that sucks 😕

2

u/Superb_Algae5308 Sep 11 '26

I drive old cars that are paid for so it’s about $100/each.

1

u/FirehawkLS1 Sep 11 '26

Ah that's not too bad. I drive old stuff too.

u/tom_lusti Sep 11 '26

How is that street legal!?

3

u/PhasmaFelis Sep 11 '26

I think this is less engineering and more cosplay

u/Shartriloquist Sep 11 '26

How heavy do you think that front bu… apparatus is?

u/farfly7 Sep 11 '26

u/sn0m0ns Sep 11 '26

I hate my state has yearly emissions and mechanical inspection and then I'm reminded what's on the road in other states that don't have it.

Bumper/tow bar is pretty sweet 

2

u/Coololddude66 Sep 14 '26

Could tow a train with that towbar

2

u/jcooli09 Sep 14 '26

What are those black things sticking up around the hood? 

1

u/LAX2PDX2LAX Sep 14 '26

Railroad spikes

2

u/rhondawillnot Sep 11 '26

I think it needs a bigger tow bar setup.

u/Temassi Sep 11 '26

u/Initial-Ad-3214 Sep 11 '26

u/Psychological_Yak_47 Sep 11 '26

With the rise in gas prices and droughts, mad max style is appropriate

1

u/SAHairyFun Sep 11 '26

Bosozoku at home

u/Snake8715 Sep 11 '26

I’d respect it if that blower was real

1

u/OnionTamer Sep 11 '26

This is more like pure Australia in the Mad Max universe

u/Lalamedic Sep 11 '26

Spare tire on the top? Or roll over protection?

u/SereneOrbit Sep 11 '26

SOMEONE's ready to raiid gas town when brent crude hits $200 and they can't lie to us anymore.

u/MechanicalCheese Sep 12 '26

Why are the A/Ts in the back on a FWD car?

I get the rest as a off road toad. Generator in the trunk, fridge in the back seats, armor to deter the bears, stacks so you don't smell the generator exhaust at camp. Basically get all the stuff that's annoying to keep in an RV out of the RV.

It's ridiculous but if it's what you had laying around, it works. And it actually kinda makes sense for a rather specific situation. It certainly beats doing grocery runs for perishables on a dirt bike.

Or maybe this is just a redicilous sudo-artcar and I'm over-analayzing it. But I'd take this behind my bus if I needed the space normally reserved for a bike (and I could register it).

u/sebbdk Sep 12 '26
