Dark Roasted Blend: The World's Strangest Vehicles

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!!

Surface Orbiter:

"New Yorker Rick Dobbertin built the amphibious Surface Orbiter out of a milk truck in order to cross the world via land and sea. It took him 4 years, $175,000 and 14,000 man hours to complete."
