    death trap ebay sale

     



    here is a typical death trap up for auction on ebay. his heart was in it but his mind was not. I really like the 3 spears strategically located at the base of the drivers skull. Its got a 12 pack and certain death written all over it.

    I'd say it's a cinch safety wasn't at the top of his priority list.... I'm sure the five point harness was just removed to prevent it from getting wet when he washed it!!!!

    Hey That looks like my old Honda 750 engine! I think the exhaust pipes are meant to be oh sh*t handles with built in warmers!

    Not a real well built racer, but perhaps it comes with a one time coupon for a free cremation.

    And I just love those tires!! Must be an off road dragster.

    here is a typical death trap
    Reminds me of a go-cart we had about 1972 or so. Steering linkage nut came loose and I hit a tree!
    Luckily it was only a Briggs and Stratton 3HP motor.
