I saw the jetcar episode of Junkyard Wars. This guy was one of the experts. Really cool!

Hmmm.... disguise a couple of jet engines as supertrapps. It will help with a little extra get-up on the straightaways!

Nah. for real power, you need a rocket. The jet cars were cool though...too bad the one team's afterburner didn't work out.

Look out, you're "dating" yourself!!! Great program when I was a kid (that and "Combat!"

It'd be even more fun if he had a .50cal M2 on the back

...hey...there's a guy in the neighborhood with a halftrack...

The twin merlin car is s-e-r-i-o-u-s-l-y cool... interesting that the driver sits so far foreward. The guy's got a serious need for speed!
