Default Look at the Home Brew Fab I saw

This may not be the place to post this. if it isn't then I apologize and please move it. But I saw this yesterday in a Gas Station in Mooresville Indiana. I was so blown away with the craftsmanship that I just had to take a picture as I waited for the stop light to change.

It's a crappy cell phone picture but I saw it there this morning as well, not in the same spot in the parking lot so I think this belongs to someone who works there so I will try to get a much better digital picture of this in the near future.

Enjoy:

I didn't have my good digital camera with me on the way home tonight but I saw it again. Trust me, a clearer picture of this thing would NOT make it look any better.

Worst part is.... that setup he's got there probably weighs more than my winch bumper.

Looks like 4x6's with 4x4 uprights. (I used to work in the lumber department of Home Depot.)

I have seen alot of crazy stuff, and that's saying something, but that is,,,, that's horrid! It's like a bad hangover with a side order of traffic ticket smothered in a messy diaper. My lasic surgery just reversed itself and now I need glasses again!

I want to stop and talk to this guy, and I may do that today on the way home if it is out there, and ask him what happened. And if the XJ isn't in bad shape other than the obvious jackleg mod up front, I have an urge to buy the damn thing just to save it from further dishonor.

I am not from Indiana. I and my wife are from Tennessee. We moved here about 18 months ago for my job. I have, in all honesty, regretted this decision since almost the first day in the state. It just doesn't suit me, or her and our kids, here at all. Not a bad state, but it won't ever be our home.

I'm right here. What do you want to talk about?
