The World's Strangest Vehicles

"QUANTUM SHOT" #164


The Opposite of "Soccer-Mom Minivans"!

Sometimes simply getting from point A to point B is not really the point. Some people want to do it in style and with a certain panache, some want to set their vehicles as far apart from the norm as possible (without crossing into the ridiculous). A few of the vehicles depicted here are made only for show, but some appear roadworthy and even...groundbreaking?

Let's start with -
Mini-Cooper Limo with a Pool!!
