Who needs a U-Haul!?

What do you guys think of this? Most of the people over at Protege5.com are bashing it, I personally think it's freaking awesome!

very sharp but an utter waste of money that could go to support my supercharger fund.

That's got to be a photo shop job. A very good photo shop job. I mean come on why would you put all that money into a trailer for no reason. By that I mean the ground effects, the wheels, tires, suspension, and exhaust on something that you can't drive. It doesn't make sense. And if it was a photo shop job the guy covered everything and must have spent alot of time on it. If it's real the guy is an idiot but I have to admit it does look good.

You know after lookinga t this for a while and thinking(can you smell the smoke yet). The only way I could see someone cutting off the front end is if it were hit in the front and was considered totaled. That way you wouldn't really be wasting the car. But I don't know how the insurance companies would be able to let some one do that with a "totaled" car.

When a car gets totaled by an insurance company, it can usually then either be bought back by the owner pretty cheap, or it goes to an auction. These cars often times have "salvage titles", meaning they're mainly just for parts now, but can sometimes be rebuilt. And no, that's not a Photoshop job!

Some one from another forum told me:
I saw the car at a autoshow here in germany. The owner is from switzerland and spent over a 130.000$ for it. Everything you need is inside, PS2, DVD, fridge,....

It was in Car and Driver a while ago on some top ten list but its so awsome. A complete waste of money is some ways but probably worth it for the owner.

I think it's a total waste of money. It looks cool and maybe if i had money to wipe my **** with, i'd probably spend it on something as stupid as that.

To some its a wast of cash $130 grand to do a conversion like that, but others pay 2 million for there ride (Enzo Ferrari) It aint a wast if the owners want it and it looks good, The only reason we see it as a wast is cause were broke and we have never spent $130 grand on anything let alone a ride, but we all break our banks getting as much Hp out of our rides as we can. If you hold what we spend on our cars relative to how much we make and then compare it to the amout of $130 grand he spent relative to what he makes and buck made for buck spent we spend more. Its only that we make less.

That's the coolest ******* thing I've ever seen. I bet it's caused more than a few wrecks on the freeway though...
