Default eBay Rocket car

Check this one out!.
Great way to liven up a boring weekend w/ the boys after the liquor runs out?!.
He has a few jet engines for sale...take your choice!.
Love the pic of him saluting...I wonder if the Evel driving suit is fireproof and goes with it as his comment of 'for fire exibition purposes' may be pretty accurate?.
What a weapon...who's first?.

Wonder how it would do at the Bonniville salt flats?
Of course, the turn around might be a little dicey.

I don't see how that thing would ever work, especially with the way the front wheel turns! Looks very unstable.

You know it!
The Cessna'ish tricycle landing gear could be better in reverse as a tail-dragger but neither very safe...better to lose it completely and make a boat out of it?.
Again that salute pic is a laugh...looks like he had it on display somewhere?.
