As with any long, multi-state roadtrip, you encounter unusual sights. On the trip from Boston to Texas, we had just crossed into Tennesee



when we saw a vehicle:

Click on these photos so you can make out the details of what this fellow has engineered on his vehicle.



I have never built a car from a kit, or from scratch, so I can't criticize him in any way. Clearly this Summer-Sunday-Touring ... vehicle, includes the best of your porch and patio, your pontoon boat, and everything else homemade or leisurely. Items of note include: the propane tank gas tank visible from behind; the front porch lighting fixture visible in profile.

Many modern car manufacturers allow you to add features and "design" your own model, adding or subtracting specific features as you wish. But this fellow is incomparably original! He drives every Do-It-Yourselfer's dream, and every teenaged-kid-who-gets-dropped-off-at-school's nightmare. I love it!!!
