Your Vehicle is not Cushy Enough
This vehicle is cushy, or at least it’s a Cushman. If you can find some way to make this street legal, you’ll have a cool little hauler and the four wheel setup must be better than the typical three-wheeled Cushman(despite the nerf bars). Does that take out all the fun? Click for eBay ad San…

Heaven, or Hell? A guy with a bunch of early Mustang parts.
Here was have some sort of parts business or hoarder. I’m not sure which. The first photo is the reason I posted this one. While that’s genuinely scary (and cool!), there is a higher level of organization evident in the other images. Maybe the first image shows the ‘pre-sorting’ table? Oddly, the seller states he…

Serial Killer Train?
This looks like something any kid would enjoy – a miniature steam train and 750 feet of track. Why, then, is essentially no one having any fun in any of the pics. Where did this man take these people? Click for eBay ad Madison, NC $37,000 with NO bids,reserve not met and $50K BIN price…

Another Fly In/Drive Home?
Why not pop over to sunny Lithuania, buy a beach bar with tracks and drive it home, wherever that may be? Really, this is a pretty brilliant idea. It’s too bad for us US types that it’s in Lithuania. I can only imagine the permitting/legal fun that would come with trying to license this for…

Why not impersonate an officer while you’re giving your friends and coworkers parking tickets? Hopefully, some Oddimotive readers are old enough to remember these things. Do they still use them? Given this is $500, it does qualify for LeMons, but what’s the top speed? Mostly, this would be a strange neighborhood runabout for someone with…

Junkyard Doggin’ – Why Roaming Salvage Yards is Cool
Recently, Oddimotive Southeast staff took advantage of 45 degree weather in the dead of Tennessee winter to peruse the local pull a part yard and find a hidden gem a la Trinkets and Junk in the middle of nowhere Tennessee. This all started between two of us: Me checking the local pull a part website…

The Cadillac of Hovercraft!
This is our first hovercraft. Will it be our last? This ad raises as many questions as it answers. Primarily, I wonder why a 2007 model needed an engine and also why an engine sent to a rebuilder would come back as a box of parts and missing critical items. Nonetheless, this seems like an…

It’s easy to articulate our feelings on this vehicle
We’ve never seen one of these, but we already like it. There is little information available on this one. Most Google hits relate to this one being for sale off and on for quite some time. This one needs a good geaneology project… Regardless, we’re sure it would make a great daily driver. Click for…

Diversion: Fantastic combo!
This appears to have everything you’ll ever need. We remember console stereos with hinged tops, but this the audio + fireplace combination takes the concept to a whole new level. It would be interesting to see if anyone ever tried to burn real wood in one of these. This seems like it would fit well…
