Right up there with the grizzly-proof suit

Some jackass has built a car he intends to try to use to film inside of a tornado. I sense a Darwin Award Winner in the making.

    I saw this on TV.

    The car is a joke - he mentions that the design was inspired by his childhood drawings of spaceships, which - in turn - were inspired by…wait for it…Star Wars. The thing isn’t engineered; it’s just cobbled together.

    The build quality is *horrible*. He can weld about as well as I can do ballet.

    Given the quantity of welds in the vehicle, you’d think that even a dumbass would be a decent welder by the time he finished, just from the sheer quantity of practice.

    You’d be wrong.

    Whew- I feel a little relieved. With discussion about a turret and an IMAX camera I thought he was an actual film maker or something. But he is like the Grizzly suit guy except he’s not actually going to test it out.
