Reminds me of a car my grandfather did. He bought some old station wagon that had 4x4, it was wreck, someone rolled it. He bought it for cheap, because he was real poor back then. He used chains and jacks and such to pull the front half of the cab relatively straight, then took a saw to the roof, so only a roof over the two front seats remained. It had four doors, so you could get into the front of the "bed" real easily. This was his farm truck for at least twenty years, and he tells me that this was one of the best "trucks" he ever owned, as far as capability goes. Ah, the wonders of ghetto fab(rication).

I think its an pneumatic launcher, aka potato cannon. Although they call it a "bird feeder"

This was on one of their pamphlets at the Scion dealership when I was shopping around a couple months ago.

Pretty clean.

Actually it was pretty cool..That was at United as well as the Rockstar "Truck" Remember it's just a promo gimmic used for an ad.. Even though the work they did to it was cool.. the rear facing seats,cannon and bars were a nice touch..I guess its something you have to see up close..

I wouldn't mind driving that around. I would take out the seats and launcher in the back and have something ala Subaru BRAT. I could see thing being useful actually.
