No one will be surprised that I think this is great.

Why would you?

'cause you rolled the ute and the compact was just sitting there?
'cause you could?
'cause you're really into recycling?
'cause it upsets the straights?

Because you're a redneck with a welder and mechanical skills and because you can.  There's a guy in Mays Landing who took a Chevy/GMC 1.5t crewcab pickup and a Suburban and mated them together.  And then there's this monstrosity of redneck engineering, build on what looks like an old UHaul chassis:

Or its much nicer cousin:

Are those "things" street-legal somewhere? 

If you can register this in Finland, I'm sure there's places where you can register those two.

Surprisingly, yes.

Just don't pull into a small gas station and end up doing the Austin Powers turn around.

A vehicle that long could have an interesting time on a hump-backed bridge!

I forgot a reason;

'cause the voices/drugs told me to...

That patchwork truck is horrible, I got nightmares from that .

Several level crossings along the River Line have low ground clearance warnings.  That triple axle Suburban/pickup hybrid would definitely get hung up on them

I can think of several railroad crossings around where I live that would bend that truck in half!

His account is well worth following: @technouveau_art

It's CGI (obviously) but I'm posting it as inspiration because it strikes me that you could build something very much in the same vein from a Blackbird kit and some F1 car parts.

My joke is that I am one, and have been for 20+ years at this point.
The 'believing they have animal spirits inside' bit isn't true; it's actually more just, 'people who think animals with human characteristics/intelligence are cool' and celebrate it in various ways; be it art, writing, roleplaying games, costume making, etc etc.

That's pretty cool !
