We had homecoming this past weekend at Georgia Tech and part of the festivities involve a parade. In the past my fraternity has build a replica deathmobile from animal house, a 60 ft pirate ship, etc. At any rate, this year we bought a 69 Ford F100 with a 390 v8. Thought you guys might enjoy the fact its got dual 18 foot pipes on it. Theres 180 degree bends behind the headers then a 90 degree bend up the front of the truck. The stove pipe enclosed the 2. Crazy enough meineke only charged us 50 bucks for all of it. Sounded like the wrath of god when you'd juice it. Sort of like a NASCAR. It Laid rubber with 30 people on it and a couple hundred pounds of wood.
The 2nd picture is meant to be an interpretation of the theme-haunted homecoming- the left hand is holding a colt 45 as I already had to clear this up once.

Both were disqualified from their respective competitions due to numerous violations including distrasteful displays, the involvement of drinking themes, drunk participants, and the train was too loud and had received numerous complaints. The Eat Me side of the train fortunately faced the President and other deans for the judging during the parade, still waiting to see how they took it. Video links here:

Oh yea, check out my sweet new jerry cans in the display picture, they're green near the door. Got them for 15 bucks brand new, but they're israeli surplus with hebrew on them. Sure hope it doesnt say anything mean about arabs as Georgia Tech is chock full

You know, if it were me I wouldn't have wanted it any other way! If they didn't disqualify you and there weren't complaints about noise then you weren't doing it right.
