Every time I see one of these cars I think of the person who had to put the work into it

^^^ Man was last on the moon in 1969. When do you think we'll go back? It's going to be 50 year mark soon.

Not very likely to be US boots on the moon for a while. Unless the great orange ape makes some grand declaration, the US is looking to Mars.

Most likely the next human on the moon will be a Taikonaut. And I'd give it 15 years.

Hummer HX... Apparently this is a real (electric) Hummer, not a knockoff.

Sigh... Maybe it's just me, but I've never been a fan of the franken-car. Does anyone else like this stuff?

I don't get it either. Especially cars with Rolls grills. I remember back in the day where people would do Rolls grill conversions on VW Bugs.

When I was in high school there was an Expedition with a Lexus LX470 front end I saw in a magazine. It looked awesome, but was subtle enough to not draw attention like that frankenrolls.

I was about to spend the $$ on an AEM, then I saw this gem.

I'm sure me & my brother-in-law bringing home a king size tempurpedic in the bed of his '98 Tacoma looked quite odd as well. IIRC, the box stuck out a little past the mirrors on both sides
