Exactly my thought, all that work and it can't take a single speed bump.

ALthough it certainly has faults, you must admit the engineering was quite thoughtfully executed. It would defenitely be a hoot if designed a tad different. Kudos to him for his efforts.

Probably because he could.
diffrent people diffrent hobbies,
I was asked a lot of times "why bother rebuilding an old car" when you could enjoy one that runs .
it's like the tuner crowd, some heavy mods and engeerining comes into those vehicules, I cant see why but to them, it's their hobby.
Some cant understand why.

If you notice the jet drive, it's off a boat that can do at least 60 MPH, I would guess. He does what 3 MPH? If that thing could drive in water half as fast as it looks on land. Then maybe he would have something.
I ran into these guys in Ponce, PR back in 94, washing the craft. It was in a hotel parking lot. Guess they wanted to sleep in a real bed for a day. They were circumnavigating the Earth. I have some photos stashed away somewhere. The vehicle is made from a tanker trailer.
Here's a little more info.
