Come to think about it, this is actually the weirdest car I ever drove. It was a custom steam car my nephew built for the 2005 Burning Man, when he designed and built the centerpiece for that year's event, the four elements Clock Tower.

The car, with a full head of steam, might hit 3 MPH, and go 100 yards, if it didn't blow up first. . . and yes, that is a spittoon on the smokestack. He made it out of junk he had lying around his workshop. Here, it was pressed into service as the wedding vehicle to transport the bride and groom (him) from the wedding site to the reception. . . it made it.

It only takes twenty to twenty-five minutes to get up a head of steam.

if you blew the whistle, that distance range it could travel dropped to only 80 yards. . . LOL!

It may be weird, but it is definitely cool.
