Sometimes searching Facebook Marketplace is less about searching for dumb cars you want to buy and more about finding something weird to stare at. I love . I also love crazy cars. This is both and simultaneously neither. All in all, I’m stunned.

I suppose the best course of action is to break down exactly what we’re looking at here. From what I gathered reading the ad, this trike/sort of sleigh thing is a combination of roughly four or five different vehicles.

Up front there are bits of multiple Kawasaki motorcycles and a front wheel from a Harley-Davidson. In the middle is a Ford 302 V8 bolted up to the running gear of a Chevy Vega. But we’re not done yet. The rear bodywork is that of a Chevy Chevette, and the whole rig is steered with the handlebars of a Harley-Davidson.

I contacted the seller to see if I can get some answers to any of my many questions. How well does it steer with the small front contact patch and all that weight behind it? Does it do wheelies if you floor it? Can you hear anything other than wind and V8 Americana? Do the hand controls work?

So far, the seller hasn’t gotten back to me.

The cute Colorado motorcycle plate on back suggests it’s somewhat legal.

Either way, I’m here for this contraption. It makes me want to dress up as Santa and rip sick burnouts in a V8 trike sleigh while listening to Eurobeat. Even when using the most conservative estimates that 302 engine has to be making more power than every motorcycle involved in the build...combined! Why have reindeer when you have the power of Ford to make you jingle all the way?

Should you feel the need to get jolly in this open sleigh, it’s $ on Facebook Marketplace and located in Maumee, Ohio.

Today’s Bentley shares its underpinnings with the Volkswagen Phaeton but offers something the failed VW halo car never did — a raisable roof. Let’s see if that, and appreciably low miles, can make its price something that gets a rise too. Based on the comments, many of you had...

My Favorite Part Of The 2021 Genesis GV80? Its Chunky Steering Wheel
In a luxury vehicle, the truly lush elements come in the small details. Sure, there’s lots of tech, and the handling is great, but what’s going to set you apart are those smaller, ergonomic details that just make you feel good. And in the 2021 Genesis GV80, I couldn’t...

Do you remember playing Forza or Gran Turismo as a kid? Back before you really knew the intricacies of tuning, when you would just slap all the highest-rated parts on a car and hope for the best? You’d end up with cars that had enormous wings, huge fender flares,...

Let Me Introduce You To My Sick New 1996 Pontiac Firebird
This weekend, I ripped the sleeves off all my ratty band t-shirts, crushed a can of Bud Lite against my forehead, and thrashed my mullet to some classic Anthrax. I’m just kidding; I took delivery of my 1996 Pontiac Firebird. So, basically the same thing. Before I get another...

When my husband and I bought our , our main goal was that we would use it to bring my precious Mazda2, with its expired plates, back from Canada to Texas when the borders opened. That hasn’t happened, and it’s looking all the more likely that there’s going to...
