Here’s a bit of insight into my typical work day: I spend hours at my computer searching, performing research, and in general dredging the Internet for things that I think BangShifters would like to see. Admittedly, I spend more time on Craigslist than any human probably should, but you never know when that “gotta have it!” project is going to pop up for sale. That, and I like to see what’s up for grabs in the local area. I’ve come to expect certain things out of the Craigslist listings in my area: front-drive cars nobody wants, old diesel trucks that are being priced at about three times their real-deal worth, and Mustangs of just about every type imaginable. I did not expect to see the gem that is the “Bitchin’ Chicken Car” pop up.

It’s not like you will miss an Oldsmobile 98 painted Big Bird yellow…that would be visible from the International Space Station. But the head of a rooster and a tail of feathers on said Olds…that’s the fastest way to have people pay attention to you since setting yourself on fire and cartwheeling to Ohio. Is it real? Somehow, in my travels of Nashville, I haven’t seen a twenty-foot long, two and a half ton fryer cruising up Interstate 65 with a bunch of chicks inside. What would you do with this monster? C’mon…we’d autocross that sucker at a Goodguys autocross to the absolute horror of the track staff. It’d be a cone massacre and we’d be dying laughing as we pinball around the cabin while the S.S. Bantam there wallows around.

Ok, now that I’ve made it through this without making one joke about a giant…uh, “rooster”…we will get to today’s Question Of the Day: Can you find something stranger than the feathered sled we found? We wish you the best of luck.
