The first car in Antarctica was a purpose built 4 cylinder, 12-15 horsepower alcohol-fueled, air-cooled automobile built and donated by Scottish car manufacturer Arrol-Johnston for Ernest Shackleton's 1907 Nimrod Expedition.. It unfortunately performed poorly but it's still awesome nonetheless!!

Why am I just finding out that in 2013 someone built a replica of "The Homer" out of a 1987 BMW 325e and competed in the 24 Hours of LeMons!! "Powerful like a Gorilla!"

My favorite of Hamad bin Hamdan Al Nahyan's rainbow Mercedes-Benz collection has to be this multi-color 1981 500SEL with side pipes and fat tires!! The exterior is wild, but it gets even crazier when you notice that the interior is multi-color too!!

The 1979 Herzog Conte Schwimmwagen was a German attempt to create an amphibious SUV; it was based on the Mk1 Ford Granada and never made it passed the prototype stage.. It's so incredibly goofy, but I would totally rock it!!

Hope theses Fellas had Health Insurance

Today I was fortunate enough to spot this glorious HVAC work van with a homemade front end and residential LED fixtures for headlights.. I almost didn't feel worthy enough to be in its presence....

The 1978 Mercedes-Benz 450SE W116 "Rammbock" began life as a test vehicle for the M117 engine. Rather than being sent to the scrapyard it was transferred to the Traffic Police for training VIP chauffeurs of the US Army in breaking through roadblocks, where it would survive over 500 ram attempts!!

In 1994 Sheikh Hamad bin Hamdan Al Nahyan created this Goliath Dodge Power Wagon as a monument to his favorite automobile.. Inside it contains a fully furnished 4 bedroom apartment with a bathroom, kitchen, and living room.. The best part about this massive vehicle is that it actually drives!!

German tuner Styling Garage customized a rainbow fleet of seven 1983 Mercedes-Benz 500SEL.. one for everyday of the week, complete with matching interior and assault rifles in the trunk.. They were presented to Sheikh Hamad bin Hamdan Al Nahyan on his wedding day... I love them all!!

Ford collaborated four times with Allegheny Metal in order to produce several stainless steel bodied show cars... the cars created were three 1931 Model A Tudors, six 1936 Tudors, Two 1960 T-birds, and three Lincoln Continental Convertibles!!!

This 1962 8 door Dodge Dart limo dubbed the "Nunrunner" built by Amburster Limo Co. was supposedly commissioned by the Vatican, but was never delivered.. instead it ended up in a Catholic Church in Kentucky.. it was eventually purchased by Wicked Rides Inc. and fitted with a Dodge Ram V10!!

Well, someone decided one day that an S&M themed Mini Cooper was a good idea... So here is the 2008 Mini Cooper Clubman "Agent Provocateur"... the car was sold for $70,000 as part of an AIDS fundraiser by the European Life Ball charity.... (NSFW!!!)

The Rhodesian Austin A60 Cambridge with anti ambush shotguns posted earlier reminded me of this 1978 video demonstration of the Holland Hail Organ system in Rhodesia.

A company in Australia called New One Tonners offered ute conversions of Holden Commodore sedans in the 90s

TIL about New One Tonners. A bizarre company that modified Commodore sedans in the 90s

Does South Park's "Wild Wacky Action Bike" count as weird wheels? ..... I'm going to say that it does!

The 1998 Mobility Outfitters Gear Box Concept was described by its designer Stewart Reed as a “Space Vehicle for Earth Exploration.” ..... All I know is that I want it and I want it now!!

This wild conversion by India's DC Design of a Mercedes 420SEL W126 dubbed the "R Coupe" was presented to it's original customer in 2005... Unfortunately in 2022 it was spotted abandoned on the street in VERY poor condition...

It looks like you could eat it with a spoon...

of an artistic hog.
