Tired of all those Escalade, Cayenne, and H2 drivers looking down on you from their suburban luxo-ute towers? Well, we've just the vehicle for you to one-up them with. This Hummer H1-based monstrosity is called the Coggiola T-REX. Standing over 7-feet tall and nearly 18-feet long, it is absolutely massive. And what's better, this dinosaur is up for bids! Sure, anyone could just buy a surplus Humvee if size was all that mattered, so what makes the T-REX special? It's all about the fine Italian styling. galleryPost('H1Trex', 9, 'Wheres The Goat?'); Coggiola, a design firm based in Turin, Italy, created the T-REX back in 2000 as a concept vehicle to display at that year's Geneva Motor Show. We're not sure what exactly they were thinking at the time, but the Italians took the chassis of a Hummer H1 and made a completely custom body and interior for it.

This is almost painful to even look at. What did this 1989 Corvette ever do to anyone?

The laughably ridiculous description below. galleryPost('frankenvette', 6, 'This is What Corvette Hell Looks Like'); 1962-1989 custom, just needs to be finished. This is a VERY FAST well built chassis with a 62 body grafted to it. There are a ton of high end parts on the car ( hooker super comp headers, custom throttle body, aluminum fuel cell,hi pressure fuel pump,much more.6-speed,tilt front end.This will finish out to be a very nice high end car, and a whole lot of fun to drive...

newVideoPlayer("prius_sale_gawker.flv", 475, 376);Orson Welles once said, "The best thing commercially, which is the worst thing artistically, by and large, is the most successful." He was referring to drama, a concept the seller of this highly modified Toyota Prius has employed to great effect, though its commercial success remains to be seen. If after seeing the above excerpt you must have more, you can see the full video here , including some tense script-in-the-shot moments and a more detailed examination of the interior. The car itself is a major aftermarket extravaganza, including many JDM add-ons, new suspension components and an A/V system. Of course, he's likely being ironic, so don't go all Star Wars Kid on the guy. (Thanks to Omar for the tip.) [ eBay ]
