The firebreathing wheelchair is the best worst idea on four wheels this year

Now that our wheelchair-ridin' pals can rock the virtual drums, the natural next step is fire breathing electric conveyances. Built by Lance Greathouse out of golf cart parts, a Marine rescue helicopter seat and, of course, a flame thrower, the "wheelchair" can zip along at 22 miles per hour, burninating whatever might cross its path. Lance says it best: "It was made for the disabled person looking for something a little different, why drive something that looks like a medical device when you can drive something lethal?" Exactly.

Nice! I'll have to build one for my grandma's mobility scooter.

[derX @ Jun 1st 2008 9:33PM]

In a couple of weeks, everyone will have one of these. Keep her on the cutting edge and get her one with a flame-throwing shark with frikin' lazers.

[OneLove @ Jun 2nd 2008 11:11AM]

good for killing zombie strippers

[Valgas @ Jun 1st 2008 12:17PM]

Now all the paraplegic people who were teased and bullied in school can exact their revenge on those son of a bitch bastards and crisperize bullies. Does it have GPS?

[Bobs @ Jun 1st 2008 12:18PM]

Mmm, smores on wheels. Does it pack smore supplies somewhare? that would be totally awesome, smores whenever you wanted.

[Jake E. @ Jun 1st 2008 12:26PM]

That... is epic.

[stitifier @ Jun 1st 2008 12:27PM]

It begs the question: how exactly does one get one's hands on a flamethrower? I ask merely out of curiosity. And out of a desire for a flamethrower.

[tyler @ Jun 2nd 2008 9:27AM]

... I too would like a flamethrower ...

On another note, this looks like something John Rambo would use if he wasn't able to walk..

[dvdivx @ Jun 1st 2008 12:29PM]

Get off my flaming lawn.

[Reader @ Jun 1st 2008 12:37PM]

Anyone else find it hilarious that this is from AutoblogGreen? I guess it is electric...

[TRU3L3GEND @ Jun 1st 2008 12:38PM]

I got get one of these, going to the mall just got a lot easier

[KEROLiUKAS @ Jun 1st 2008 12:38PM]

I can already imagine the headlines... Paraplegic severely burned due to going 20 mph and accidentally turning on the flame thrower and the wind blowing it back at him.

[David @ Jun 1st 2008 12:42PM]

give it crocodile trim, raze some villages

TROGDOR!!

[Lazerface @ Jun 1st 2008 1:27PM]

burningating the countryside, burninating the peasants! burninating all the peoples, in their THATCHED ROOF COTTAGES!!!!!

THATCHED ROOF COTTAGES!!!!!!!!!!

[Craig @ Jun 1st 2008 2:20PM]

And as I read this story, I'm sitting here in a Trogdor t-shirt (complete with Majesty!)...how sweet is life sometimes, you know?

[musicman @ Jun 1st 2008 3:00PM]

It's a sign. First the Trogstrom cometh: http://www.homestarrunner.com/weeklies/fanstuff_pic.jpg?_as_of=02008-05-22t201753

and now this.

behold, the coming of the reign of the Burninator.

[DWells55 @ Jun 1st 2008 12:43PM]

Wow, ban this troll.

[Jherez @ Jun 1st 2008 12:54PM]

If this was solar powered it would seriously be teh shit

[David @ Jun 1st 2008 1:02PM]

mm for total solar powerage you would require an electric flamethrower..
maybe a mixture of cattle prods & tasers could substitute?

the perfect vehicle for any self respecting liberal!

[Jherez @ Jun 1st 2008 2:15PM]

To move it around and to provide a spark for igniting the fuel. But electrocution by a wheelchair would be serious pwnge

[Windzilla @ Jun 1st 2008 1:00PM]

Man if thats not a cigar in his mouth he really needs to get one

[David @ Jun 1st 2008 1:04PM]

he should buy some of my hilarious cigars..

Trust me, they're dynamite!

[r3loaded @ Jun 1st 2008 1:12PM]

"Trust me, they're dynamite!"

Literally? :O

[David @ Jun 1st 2008 3:17PM]

well that would be my joke yes..

[Greg @ Jun 1st 2008 5:45PM]

Sounds like you got that one out of "5,000 Wacky Jokes" by Tom 'the hack' Hackney.

[Stem $ell @ Jun 1st 2008 1:11PM]

He could call it, "Beelze-BobCat"...

[Rawnchie14 @ Jun 1st 2008 2:38PM]

If you check the site, it has a name:

"Lord Humongous"

LOL... any vehicle that is a "Lord" is all business.

[JJV @ Jun 1st 2008 1:13PM]

Seek help,
really
for the sake of all of us, please seek help immediately.

[josh @ Jun 1st 2008 1:14PM]

I think you have to be on some kind of drugs to come up with this idea.

"Hey man, you know what would be, like, totally awesome?"
"Naw, tell me man"
"Like...what if i took my grandma's wheel chair and like...put a flamethrower on it?"
"Dude...that...would be awesome."

[Genjinaro @ Jun 1st 2008 2:19PM]

........ you got it, verbatim...

[applefan @ Jun 1st 2008 1:20PM]

[Anthony @ Jun 1st 2008 2:25PM]

[Rawnchie14 @ Jun 1st 2008 2:26PM]

Oh man, I think it's time to friggn upgrade my wheelchair, and burnanate fools without prejudice.

[deyanimay @ Jun 1st 2008 3:44PM]

[andres @ Jun 1st 2008 3:25PM]

[Bill @ Jun 1st 2008 5:03PM]

"You kids get off my lawn! Whooosh...."

[phanbouy @ Jun 1st 2008 8:39PM]

TOTAL RECALL!!

I think... if it wasn't in there it shoulda been.

[Phil @ Jun 1st 2008 10:02PM]

Then it just gets ridiculous. The following week she'll want a big red button hooked up to.. The Bomb.

And now for my shameless plug, yes, its The Bomb.
