Mister Zumbi’s “Road Zombie”

Oh man … how bitchin’ is this?!

Seriously, if I was 8 instead of 48, my car/Lego oriented brain would be frying on something like this.

Yeah, I know, it’s a kit, or something, so using specialized parts is kind of, well, cheating to a Lego purist. And I got to say, I’m not all that hot on the overall brown color – I guess he was going for a primer red (probably not an available brick color).

The more stuff I see like this, the better I feel.

Look, I got nothing against a bunch of 17 year olds pouring (way too much) money into Civics and Evos and what not. In the first place, at least they’re into cars. And in the second, maybe they’ll branch out into more, er, interesting forms of motorpsorts and cars than drag racing and hatchbacks. But my biggest gripe with that end of things is dropping multiple tens of thousands into a 13 second car sure seems like a waste.

You give that kind of budget to any bracket racer when I was a kid, and you’d be getting to the end of that quarter a LOT faster then the 13s kid. I mean a lot.

But when I see guys in their early 20s building and racing rat rods; guys that know who Von Dutch is (and if you think that’s a clothing line for hipsters, then I feel very, very sorry for you my friend); guys who not only know what chop, channel and French means, but can go out and DO IT … THAT gives me hope.

Oh, and nitrous is cheating and lazy.
