    2 videos of fail. What's the point of strapping a jet engine to a truck if it isn't going to go any faster than my Chevy Blazer?

    Maybe the idiot who "installed" this engine should have asked an engineer if putting the intake of a jet engine right up against his back glass was a good idea.

    How is this street legal - not only for the jet engine - but the spikes on the front wheels!---perfect for the next death race though...

    Please explain how the hell that thing is street legal? IT HAS A FLAMING ROCKET ON IT! It would roast the car behind it at the stop light.

    @Sticks Calhoun: I'll see your jet Beetle, and (even though it's hardly new) raise you an MTT Y2K...

    Purely for the fact that you have to be certifiable to ride one :o)

    I hope to someday get a grant - maybe from YouTube, possibly a vision or mental health foundation - to distribute cheap tripods to amateur videographers everywhere.

    It would certainly do wonders for MY sanity, at least.

    @FredicvsMaximvs: It would be nice but I myself am more likely to bring my camera places when I can just throw it in my bag and go rather than lugging the tripod along as well.
