What Were They Thinking -- Smart Monster Truck

Posted: May. 27, 2008 10:05 a.m.

Kicking Tires reports, "The Smart ForTwo is one of the smallest cars on the road. It comes standard with 15-inch wheels, which were clearly not big enough for the owner of the ForFun2 monster 'truck.'"

Serious Wheels says the rig uses the body of a Smart Fortwo, the diesel engine from a Mercedes Unimog 406, and a set of giant tires giving it a total height of over 12 feet. Transport Trends publishes photos and video of the ForFun2, calling it "one of the most ridiculous custom cars ever built...[a] horrendous crime perpetrated on innocent folks."

Research the Smart Fortwo, though not its freakish science-experiment cousin, with U.S. News' car rankings and reviews.
