    I sure hope those housings are able to contain a wheel burst because he is directly inline with a radial compressor and axial turbine that have blade tips spinning at the speed of sound...basically a bunch of bullets waiting to fatigue off and into his head. Awesome machine!

    And hence the first forest fire ever to hit the outskirts of philly is started.. strangely along an ATV trail, with scorch marks on trees at about the 4' height and above.. Firefigters and climate scientists are unable to explain how or why it started. We conclude it must have something to do with freak lightening caused by global warming.

    @leavethegun-takethecannoli: You know, I've never really been an onion on my cheesesteak. To each their own :/ I love seeing someone tear it up in the city though, at least that isn't a micro bike. cool.

    @ambidextrous pj134: I always grab hot peppers too.


    Ahh. Now I know my worst road trip experience and vehicle. I had forgotten all about it. Me and a few buddies drove down to Pat's from CT on a ninety-something degree day- in a 2500 Diesel suburban. I ate two cheesesteaks, the AC broke- and we sat in traffic for three hours. I felt so sick, and yet I would do it again.

    We've been building "insane" gas turbine powered ATVs since the '70s. :-)

    HA! at around 00:50 where he is sloshing gas into the funnel and talking about it not really being green.


    I think the Jalopmobile needs a jet engine upgrade,
