Way sick car handmade of wood
Posted (jokey) on June-24-2008 Read More

This is one sick ride. It has a handmade wood body and is called the Tryane II.

The Tryane II is supposed to be a car whose body is made of wood, completely and very painstakingly by hand.  Even the wheel covers and mirrors are made of wood.  Yep, this is the handcrafted working wooden car. Now how sick is that?

The Tyrane II took 2000 hours to make and weighs about 900 lbs. They claim it can hit speeds of 100 MPH and gets better gas mileage than most Hondas. It is 13′ 7″ long and around 5′ 4″ wide and gets between 55-70 miles per gallon (better than my small dodge for sure). It is made of gaboon marine ply and mahogany veneers bonded with epoxy resin.

Wow, can you even imagine trying to get that car insured. Worse yet, can you imagine being the idiot who wrecks that thing… wow, I hope that never happens.
