So, I found this ad on Craigslist. Now me, I can't build a car to save my life. But it's such a damn cool idea I figured I post it here since I figure someone around here ought to be capable of doing it. Hell, if there's a few of you it could even be the SG Doombuggy.


AD excerp:

DO YOU THINK YOU COULD BUILD A MAD MAX CAR?
The Producers of Myth Busters are looking for people to be a part of a New Discovery TV show and are looking for people who think they could build a car like the ones in Mad Max. Can you build, weld, or design? Are you an expert with remote control devices? Are you a mechanic that can make anything out of scraps? Are you an artist that works with metal or cars? Can you build an engine? Do you do something else and are sure you could build a mad-max vehicle if you tried?

I could work on some late 70's early 80's engines, but I can't weld.

I also live in Illinois, keep us informed.

If you watch the opening moments of MAD MAX where they talk about a world with, wars, lawlessness and an energy crisis... One can pretty much conclude we are on the verge of that world.

it makes sense,the spice enabled them to fold space,thus travel long distances throughout the galaxy....."he who controls the spice controls the universe" ...same can be said in more down to earth terms on oil.
