The 10 Strangest Car Mods of All Time

So, if you flip it around the other way, does it still drive? Or was this designed for people who drove so crazily that if they flipped onto their roof, they could keep going?

We bet this guy felt a bit foolish when he realized that nobody buys car phones anymore. We also have to wonder how he sees around the number pad.

As far as we can tell, this was actually intended to be a sort-of production vehicle, designed to appeal to collectors and to cash in on Pac-Man Fever (apologies to our older readers for the earworm: our younger readers go here for an opportunity to mock your parent's taste in music). Hence the otherwise inexplicable swimsuit model on the left.

We really, really hope that the steering wheel isn't wired to the top of this beast. Especially since that would mean the pedals are still in the Caddy underneath. “OK, brake! Now, give it some gas...more...more...STOP!!!”

He can claim he's an artist, he can claim he's a hobbyist, he can claim anything he wants. We all know that this man built this car specifically to wait behind billboards at night and then pull out behind slow drivers on quiet, dark roads. And if he doesn't, he should.

Finally, a car that you can literally refer to as a death trap; and that’s just the cabin. Also, does the exhaust play a dirge whenever you fire it up?

Not that we don't see the value of having a gigantic fiberglass lobster sitting on top of a Volkswagen Beetle, but we have to wonder what that does to the aerodynamics. Also, what happens if the lobster blows off?

CatCar: Because, sometimes, small children just need to be terrorized. Seriously, every time the owner pulls this thing behind a school bus, the screams are probably piercing enough to shatter glass.

If we'd wanted to make this a list of nothing but shoe cars, we probably could. There's a sneaker car, a boot car, a cowboy boot car (no points for guessing what it promotes) and a legion of other cars that resemble footwear. But this one holds a special place in our heart; it was among the first, and also, it's the “purdiest.”

This is the optimal commuting vehicle; it's a monster truck shaped like a gigantic shark. If the auto body job doesn't make that annoying guy going 45 mph in the left lane move over to where he belongs, shark car can simply crush him like he deserves. Those bumper spikes are probably an insurance risk, though: you don't want to impale pedestrians!
