Cliff Notes: Bunch of mechanics take a week to make cars into very wierd cars. Example: Cop car turned into rolling doughnut stand; deep fryer in the trunk, conveyor belt to the back seat, suicide passenger doors with glass display case.

Well, they are going to take a 750hp CART champ car and turn it into a road line painter, for center lines and stuff.

No word on if they have to be able to vary the spray to account for double yellows, dotted yellows, half-dotted yellows, etc...

Daredevil is just too busy posting to take the time to read anything. Plus he's most likely drunk off his ****.

that is the stupidest f*cking thing i've ever heard.

an indy car is a machine that has been purpose-built for one thing and one thing only: to get around a racetrack faster than just about anything else. the idea of taking one of these machines and defacing it so that it can paint lines on the road once, and then be ruined forever is quite possibly the most horrible idea i've ever heard.

they might as well make that very same indy car and modify it so that it jams a two by four up your *** while you're driving it. at least that way someone will benefit from the design. that being jesse james of course. what a tool.

If you read more carefully:

“I think its kinda cool to take something that would be a flower pot for the rest of its life and turn it into something loud and fast that works,” said James.

They're not using a car thats been running, most likely a retired car. With that said i have to ask: "how hard can it be?" a street line painter as i remembered it was a truck with the line painter hardware on it. Its not a waste as much as it is a pointless practice, they should do something like try to make it into a closed-wheel salt flat racer that'll go one run be die, the way its supposed to go

dont watch monster garage often im guessing eh? heh ive youve seen any of the projects that theyve done youd realize that this is the kind of thing that the entire show is about~ taking something thats build for one thing and turning it into a "monster" that does something entirely different...my favorite is when they turned a hotdog cart into a top fuel racer with the fully modded mustang into a lawn mower a close second

But I think it sounds like a fun thing to do. I like Monster Garage, and Junkyard wars, and all of those shows.
