It really works. I saw it on Monster Garage. This guy in California made it.

Somebody watched "Return of the Jedi" one too many times.

I find the claim of 40 mph in an 1100 lb. vehicle powered by a 6 HP Tecumseh somewhat dubious, at best. Of course, on a steep downhill grade, such speeds might well be attainable....

one of the reviews:



My survivalist group was interested in using this as a safe personnel transporter to cross a dry lake bed from our fortress to the nearest town. We thought it would make a nice cheap alternative to ex army APC's, and that once it was flanked by a couple of APC's an protected by the Tank it would be a safe route for members arriving in town to transfer to the fort.



Wrong. On our first run across the lakebed we attracted a lot of notice from the locals and a small convoy of idiots started to hound the convoy. I guess they gave a good simulation of what we might expect from rioters in a genuine survival situation. Anyway, a gang of beer swilling red-necks in a pickup swerved into the Donk and took it out.



We had to tow it into the enclosure and now the kids just play in it. What a waste.
