I think Monster Trucks in general are pretty darn dumb....but it would attract some attention if you parked it in front of the high school....and think of what it would take to high-center that little dude.

what it would take to high center it?? a medium gust of crosswind. (not exactly an accurate stament)

As far as monster trucks go Im not a big fan either but at least they are good at what they do. That is an abomination.

Some people got WAY to much time and money.

If the wheelbase was any shorter, the tires would mesh like a pair of gears.

Pretty funny car.

I saw that about a year ago on my smart car forum - everyone there thought it was stupid too, and we all love smart cars.

Heh I think it's kinda of a fun idea just for a show car/project car. I'm curious what frame it's sitting on. I'm pretty sure this subaru is a little bit sillier:

The funniest parts of this Unimog-Smart are the winders at the rears corners that make this BigfootSmart look like a toy winded by some giant!
Have a look here for a review by 5thGear:



I have seen it in person around here; I really like it as a big piece for fun, hence its name: Forfun^2
The guy that made it has also made this:

http://www.attartoffroadpark.gr/forfour.html


Smart ForFour on top of Mitsubishi Pajero V6 3l with custom made suspension and locking diffs.

But I must agree: the funniest monster ever must be this Legacyzilla!!

Is that a turbo above the left front wheel? It's HUGE!

I heard there are smarts that have Hayabusa engines in them and do 0-60 in 3.5 seconds.
