Monster Smart Car

Sure, the Smart Car is a hot little easy to park machine, but, have you ever thought of running down a few of those SUVs that blow past you on the freeway, choking you on their 8 mpg’s worth of exhaust fumes? Well, apparently you’re not the only one. By combining a Smart Car with a Unimog, the mad scientists behind this concept monster car have created the ForFun2, a monster Smart, featuring 55″ wheels which almost measure taller than the Smart itself.

Person buys abandoned farm, finds giant car collection in old barn

So imagine you’re living in Portugal, find a nice abandoned farm (for over 15 years) which you decide to purchase and live out your days on a sunny porch, watching whatever crop you decide to plant grow. Then say you decide to tour the property after you’ve moved in and come upon a large, decrepit barn which was padlocked shut with rusty locks. You cut the locks, open the doors and find one of the most exciting collections of abandoned vintage automobiles discovered in awhile, sitting there on your property. 100+ extremely dusty, some rusty, some full of pigeon crap, vintage and collectible cars ranging from the early 1900s to what looks to be the late 60s or early 70s. The collection includes a nice batch of vintage Lotus’, some beautiful Porsche 356s and a huge collection of Datsuns. Upon opening the door I would have passed the fuck out. Then woke up, jumped around a little and instantly started spending what will be a very long life restoring beautiful classic automobiles, pulling out and washing down a new surprise everyday.
