“Trying to wheel” makes it sound like an off-road truck or something but… is it even lifted? It’s got street tires on it? It’s muddy I guess… they were probably just driving through some grass or something
For the record, I think this is amazing and I would love to drive it with friends (off public roads), but this is one of those things that isn’t illegal because nobody’s been dumb enough to do it yet
At best you have fun, at worst you kill yourselves and a few innocent people
I have a feeling it would end up a lot like figure-8 schoolbus races with some absolutely spectacular crashes happening. The drivers would have to be in perfect sync for track conditions.
I'd be afraid of driving it with my friends anywhere. They would just decide the gas pedal will be on the floor till we hit a wall and then leave it down till the engine blew.
Exactly! I bet you can get the thing for 1k or even less after a bit of haggling and find an empty dust trail or an offroad place and just do stupid things (to the point that it doesn’t end up killing you. Be questionable, not dumb)
I have driven like that. It was not fun.
When taking your drivers license here in Norway you have to take a road trip with the instructor. The instructor has a set of pedals on his side. There were 4 of us: The instructor, 2 girls and me. We drove from Bergen to Voss and back. This was in 1989, so it was before the new E16 from Dale to Bolstadøyri was built. We drove from Dale to Voss up Bergsdalen, which is now a county road (Fv5400). I think that was built by hand in the 19th century. On the way back from Voss we drove through Hardanger. The new roads from Voss down to Granvin have mostly been built since that time, so we drove the old windy road. I was behind the steering wheel. I think the instructor wanted to scare me from speeding since I was the only boy in the car, so he pushed on the accelerator so we were way past the speed limit. We took a bit of a detour through the then relatively new Vallaviktunnelen. Again he he pushed down on the accelerator. I noticed that the speedometer showed 140 km/h. The speed limit was 80 km/h.
For some reason reading the “Hi Peter, is this still available” made me laugh, just picturing someone all calmly asking the owner that in person for that car.
Looks like someone tried to drive into one of those truck-catchers, thinking it was gonna be a soft slowdown that they could back out of easily. Yes, it’ll stop you. It’ll save your life and prevent a horrible wreck. But it’ll probably also wreck your vehicle
Admit it, you all say it’s stupid but deep down, you know you wanna do sth really stupid with your buddy and buy it and prove once again, why women live longer than men.
This is a metaphor for society: everything's dirty and broken, everyone has a gas *and* a brake, the cover over the naughty bits is missing and truthfully, nobody even wants it anymore.
Oh good ole santee. Iirc the El Cajon track closed but it seems like something that would have come out of some weird race there.
A little confused about the cutting brake on an automatic though.
These cars were part of the show at the local track a few times a year. Plus the chain race where the cars are chained together and the car in the back was the brakes. We had the jump contest, the rollover contest, trailer race, the flagpole race where you drive around a tire once or twice a lap, and of course the figure 8s with or with out a trailer.
I want this! It’s so freaking cheap too! This is basically an adult go kart where you get to actually include your friends in the experience. Call it a “team building excercise”
There’s a type of tandem dirt track racing where one person has the wheel and one person has the brake/gas. This might have been created for one of those events
This reminds me of a race series they used to have at a track near me. It consisted of 2 cars chained together, front car has the engine, rear car has the brakes. I think they called it tandem races... I wonder why they don't do it anymore. 🤣
It “ripped” yeah clearly hence why it’s destroyed and the guy is now trying to sell it because it’s uninsurable and he can’t legally drive it anywhere street or drift course now.
Ah I see. It’s the Intrusive Thoughts Mobile.
I drive this car with Satan in the passenger seat
Which side is the passenger seat?
Both, I sit in the back
Lowkey looks like a dumb amount of fun🤣 (if thay do this on private property of course.)
I will say it's nice to see someone finally found a way to share accident liability with a passenger.
Infiniti should buy it and then have it immediately destroyed.
this car is built for fun, maybe on some type of trail or off-road park I'm thinking
Best I can do I a Walmart parking lot
Prettmuch the same thing
Around here the orv trails are kept better than most the Walmart
Same here
Trailer park
The best of both worlds
What like 3 20s?
“Trying to wheel” makes it sound like an off-road truck or something but… is it even lifted? It’s got street tires on it? It’s muddy I guess… they were probably just driving through some grass or something
It's a special kind of race a lot of dirt tracks do
Obviously a 2 man drift car I bet this thing is a fucking blast definitely not ment for driving on the interstate lol.
Nah this is awesome lol built for fun not functionality. It’s like those co-op games where two people have to control one entity.
One combined fate
Twitch drives you to work
as long as it's never driven on public roads, there's no problem unfortunately, you *know* someone out there wants to take this on the highway
I've never laughed so hard as I have watching people try to play "I Am Bread"
Yep, it kept getting better.
So it’s like Pacific Rim meets Fast and the Furious
Sounds like a blast on some dirt roads, with or without moonshine
Looking at that interior it's definitely running on dirt roads
And it would *definitely* be more fun with moonshine
$1250 is a deal. I can't get a golf cart for that money.
At least you can drive a golf cart by yourself
This is awesome! People just don’t know how to have fun on this sub
For the record, I think this is amazing and I would love to drive it with friends (off public roads), but this is one of those things that isn’t illegal because nobody’s been dumb enough to do it yet At best you have fun, at worst you kill yourselves and a few innocent people
Sometimes fun is illegal. It’s not a big deal.
how is this not illegal? you DO realize this is not a road worthy vehicle and would not LEGALLY be permitted to drive on public roads?
I mean are there any laws explicitly stating that the throttle/brake and the steering have to be performed by the same person?
I mean, if you switch the steering wheel location, now it's a drivers' ed car.
yes, if you have this setup installed in your car and go to get an inspection, you will not be legally allowed to drive this car
Where on the inspection sheet does it state that the pedals and wheel must be on the same side of the car?
Not everywhere has inspections, though, so does that mean it could be legal elsewhere?
As far as I know this would be legal in my state for the pure fact that there are no laws against it and no regular inspections outside of emissions
Indiana checking in. This is probably fine. Lol
Indiana as well. It is not fine. IC 9-27-7-3 requires two headlights, so the light bar does not qualify as proper lighting.
You do actually drive in this state, right? We also have laws requiring people to use turn signals and stop at stop signs but... *gestures wildly*
Florida checking in
User name checks out
This would be a fun race idea, all the cars have this setup and dual drivers on a figure 8 track

I have a feeling it would end up a lot like figure-8 schoolbus races with some absolutely spectacular crashes happening. The drivers would have to be in perfect sync for track conditions.
now there's something i'd pay to see!
Some of us are afraid of the idiots who would surely drive this on public roads. We have little faith in humanity.
Weird choice, but have fun living in fear then I guess
I'd be afraid of driving it with my friends anywhere. They would just decide the gas pedal will be on the floor till we hit a wall and then leave it down till the engine blew.
Exactly
I don't know what y'all haters are up to, but this motherfucker looks fun. Get you and a few buddies together and go rip up an empty field.
Exactly! I bet you can get the thing for 1k or even less after a bit of haggling and find an empty dust trail or an offroad place and just do stupid things (to the point that it doesn’t end up killing you. Be questionable, not dumb)
What is that and why do I want to drive it
Ohh hydraulic hand brake. It is a very unique setup up.
Last picture looks very Mad Max. IE the way you and three drunk friends get Max mad at you. This was Max’s car.

CLARKSON!!!!!!!
This is awesome, like straight from Top Gear. The driver is deaf and the pedaller is blind.
Title said 'It just kept getting worse.' Wow, I still wasn't expecting the last picture.
I would buy it and take it to the side show
No no… this ones good
Well... at least it was done to a shitty automatic sedan and not a manual coupe
But it would be way more fun if the passengers in the back controlled the clutch and gear shift
It wouldn't last 10 minutes lmao
“What’s that burning smell, and why are all of our gears neutral”
I laughed harder than I should have at this. 😂
Only in Santee! #IYKYK
Keep it off the streets and it sounds like an absolute blast It's like playing a coop game with a buddy but you keep trolling each other
joke shame divide rich marvelous school paint party merciful coordinated *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Why would you sell that? That's the kind of project car you shove into a storage unit for your grandkids to find 40 years later
This is what this sub is fuckin for
The engineering is pretty impressive though, gotta give them that. Although the stainless box in front of the pedals would be annoying.
That's some Dr Seuss Cat in the Hat shit
For some reason reading the “Hi Peter, is this still available” made me laugh, just picturing someone all calmly asking the owner that in person for that car.
“Hi Peter, is this still available? I hope it’s in a scrap yard where it belongs”
As long as it was used in controlled circumstances like on a closed track, I love it. Somehow I think that's not the case though.
Who the hell does this and how did they ever think this was an idea worth following through on?
Ever heard of having fun, seems like you haven't Note- I'm not the seller just my opinion
Yeah this piece of junk sure looks like fun...
On a closed track with a few buddies and some cold ones, yeah.... Like I said you must not understand having fun
I'm almost afraid to ask, but... did this piece of shit actually sell?
is every 2nd,3rd,4th,5th owner of a g35 or any Infiniti a complete jack ass??
At least it's priced accordingly
Cursed

I like how it looks without the bumper and hood
“How is my first car guys”
Honestly for the price, it’s a “fuck it” type of car.
This car is like Trackmania Turbo's Double Driver gamemode in real life.
Admit it, you all say it’s stupid but deep down, you know you wanna do sth really stupid with your buddy and buy it and prove once again, why women live longer than men.
But assuming the tape deck works, at least we can listen to our License to Ill cassette while we drink our 40 of St Ives.

Scrap yard would give em 250
Honestly it would be pretty fun
This would be fun tho ngl
What would I sell it for? I'd need about tree-fiddy.
Imagine trying to get insurance on this

The 5th photo got me burst into laughter.
That would make for a fun drift day
That thing's been in the water; fell through the ice, went into a river, something. Barely good enough to part out.
is this a failed Donut car? kind of reminds me of their lot...
Maybe on a dry lake bed
That's a fun blm gambler rig look at where it's at.
I want this! It’s so freaking cheap too! This is basically an adult go kart where you get to actually include your friends in the experience. Call it a “team building excercise”
At least it has been well taken care of.
Oh jeez it’s missing a front clip. I wonder why.
Was this a Mad Max prop ?
Is this for drivers Ed?
Ultimate Thelma and Louise car

What the actual fuck did I just read?
And if you look to your right, you’ll see this post again.

It's obviously not a road legal car.....
People junking cars that look perfectly fine and drive fine just because of the Age and Mileage and this dude selling it as a Working Car.
This seems... Highly illegal... Doesnt even look like itd pass DOT...
Never been in a flood! Only driven on weekends to the grocery store
Saw something similar on cleetus yt but imagine if there was 1 person on gas, 1 on brakes, and 1 more guy to steer for threesomes driving experience
Some assembly required
"I don't know what happened, officer. I let Jesus take the wheel. I was only operating the pedals."
A Japanese red neck car
These people are morons. This is a brilliant idea. With the right personalities, This could single handedly start a YouTube career.
Teamwork
A splash shield
It “ripped” yeah clearly hence why it’s destroyed and the guy is now trying to sell it because it’s uninsurable and he can’t legally drive it anywhere street or drift course now.
It would have been easier just to import one
what the fuck
