This Insane Perversion Of A Chevy S-10 Has A Fire Truck V12
This Insane Perversion Of A Chevy S-10 Has A Fire Truck V12-May 2024

Feast your eyes upon what looks like a Doctor Moreau-style splicing experiment between a , Plymouth Prowler, a few GM trucks, a fire truck, an airplane, and some farm equipment.

Yeah, all that.

Apparently the product of three years labor at a Melrose, Florida shop, this 1998 Chevrolet S-10 is channeled, has a GMC dual-rear wheel rear axle, all kinds of wacky custom body work, and oh yeah— a carbureted V12 from a fucking 1941 Seagrave/Pierce Arrow fire truck.

It's up for sale at $20,000 , and according to the seller who built the "truck" its designation is "short range car show, show stopper and parade vehicle."

I'm guessing the state inspection regulations in Florida lean to the side of "lenient," or this guy footed one hell of a bribe.

Did I tell you about the yoke? It has a aircraft yoke instead of a steering wheel. Plus one of those add-on center consoles from AutoZone and some killer dash vinyl.

I can't decide who is crazier— whoever put this together, or whoever buys it. Either way, it sure is something else to look at and for that we've gotta thank the builder.

Hey Ladies, Did We Know We Want To Be Truck Drivers?
A highly scientific—wait, no—a Twitter poll carried out by the United Kingdom’s Freight Transport Association asked ladies if they would drive a 44-metric ton truck, and over 79% at the time of their press release responded yes. Trucks! Trucks! Trucks! Trucks!!! From a Freight Transport Association : Over 79% of...

Mid-Size Trucks Don't Need Frames
Mid-Size Trucks Don't Need Frames
Hardcore truck people probably don’t think of the as a “real truck,” but I just towed a classic Ford Mustang over the Appalachians with one. So why aren’t there more trucks in the U.S. built on a unibody platform like the Ridgeline? I talked to engineers at Honda and Toyota...

What's The Point Of The 2017 Chevy Colorado's New Engine And Gearbox?
What's The Point Of The 2017 Chevy Colorado's New Engine And Gearbox?
General Motors is giving the an entirely new V6 gasoline engine with cylinder deactivation and an eight-speed transmission for 2017. Apparently the idea is to give the truck better performance and economy, which sounds great. But GM’s estimated new 0-60 mph and MPG figures? “Essentially [a] carryover” from the old...

The 2016 Lexus LX 570 Is A Big Lumbering Idiot-Mobile And I Hate It
The 2016 Lexus LX 570 Is A Big Lumbering Idiot-Mobile And I Hate It
I’m not sure I’ve had a car to review that I’ve liked less than the 2016 Lexus LX 570. It’s not that it’s a technically bad vehicle, because it’s not: mechanically, it’s a body-on-frame Land Cruiser, and it’s plenty reliable and capable. It’s also incredibly frustrating, overcomplicated, unpleasant to drive,...

“It’s a tool, just like a 9/16th wrench or a wheel hammer,” Joshua Shaw, vintage IndyCar racer and restorer says of his 300,000-mile , an integral, reliable part of his work and life. A long-lasting ‘Burban is a piece of America, and it deserves a little praise. This is a...

What Is The Biggest Vehicle You Can Buy Per Dollar?
What Is The Biggest Vehicle You Can Buy Per Dollar?
As a chronic Craigslister, I often come across the huge, six ton military truck in the picture above called the M35A2—aka the “Deuce and a half.” The crazy thing is, the huge behemoth routinely sells for under $2,000, which makes it a total bargain in terms of weight-to-dollar ratio. What...
