THIS!!
Francois Knorreck started working on this unique motorcycle-car, 10 years ago. It took him 10 years and $20,000 to complete this masterpiece he calls the Snaefell. He used a Laverda motorcycle and put together the car using whatever parts he got his hands on.
This guy has some serious talent and what a great idea, instead of junking this:
He turned it into this:
Love these!

This story illustrates the dumb wrong way to acquire junk cars! Four people were arrested Friday for allegedly attempting to steal a junk car to sell for scrap, and one of the four was also charged in a previous similar case, police said.
The detective said the four were at someone else’s property on S. Jefferson Avenue on Friday and were loading the vehicle onto a trailer when a relative of the owner saw them and called police.
A report by Officer Ryan Moore says the suspects had tried to load the old vehicle onto a trailer, but left when they saw the owner’s relative.
Detective Gragg said the “come-along” pulling equipment the suspects were using had broken and they left to get more equipment.

A federal program to get old clunkers off the road had a bumpy start.
That’s one finding in an appraisal of the Retire Your Ride program, which ended in March.
An evaluation completed in February suggests there were plenty of potholes in the program’s early days.
The Conservatives announced the so-called scrappage program in 2008. It offered Canadians incentives, such as public transit passes and small amounts of cash, to junk older vehicles.
Environment Canada hired Ottawa consulting firm Goss Gilroy to evaluate the program shortly before it ended. The Canadian Press obtained the report under the Access to Information Act.
With the prices of scrap hitting new heights it seems criminals have been opting for the more easy prey of old junk cars!
The Washington County Sheriff’s Office has been investigating a recent rash of scrap metal thefts occurring in rural parts of the county.
“This stealing of junk cars has become a real issue,” he told 2News Wednesday morning, saying the price of scrap metal is high and because of this “junkers” are making money.
Stolen from properties in rural areas around the county and in adjoining counties have been a number of broken down junk cars. Scrappers have been trespassing unto property, loading up cars, then heading off to the scrapyard where they will leave the cars for cash.
Pretty sleek!
