Default Smokin' 914!!

Sorry if this has been posted, but....

Smoke flows from the driver's seat area of a 1975 Porsche in St. Louis. The Porsche has been converted into a barbeque grill and smoker by its owner, Doug Burris. Burris and his converted car were taking part in an antique charity auto show in support of diabetes research. The front of the car has a firebox for a smoker that sits where the driver's seat would be located; the grill is in the rear of the car. (AP Photo/James A. Finley)

That's a horrible waste. I wonder what the car looked like before he started.

I hope that car is a POS. It doesn't look to bad in the picture, but I hope I am wrong and it is a rust bucket.

I say we throw Mr. Burris on the 'barbie' for this atrocity. I already feel bad when I see this done to an old bug.............

I like it. Isn't anyone else getting hungry?
