    Jalopnik is freaking me out.. It's almost as if they're following me. Just this past week, I was in Macon.What about the guy with the lambo with squeaky brakes in scottsdale? I went to scottsdale the following week! Several months back, I think it was Ray who was trying to give off tickets to transformers 2 -- for the theater right next to the hotel I was staying at! There were a few more instances of this, though I don't remember the specifics.... STOP FOLLOWING ME AROUND JALOPNIK!

    Demolition derby logic says that unless the mud gets too deep (in some areas), anytime you have front-wheel traction, everything behind the B-pillar is expendable.

    This took that idea and put it on the road.

    Oh, to be different! This is a 1957 BMW Isetta converted to a 3-wheeled version of an airboat on wheels. It's powered by a 190 hp, 435ci, 6-cyl, Lycoming aircraft engine which turns a 6-ft. wood prop. The car is moved entirely by the propeller. In winter, you can attach 3 skies and take it on snow & ice.

    Is is wrong to really want this badly, possibly to LeMonize it? I'd have to ask Jay if he would let this thing run, but why not?

    And does wanting this thing make me a redneck?
