In case you haven’t seen this YouTube video already, make sure to do so now. There is an elderly Chevrolet pickup truck cruising along a highway backwards, then making a neat turn.
An illusion? In a way, yes, but not one without a certain amount of effort and skill put into it. Ron, a resident of Massachusetts, USA, spent for years reversing its car so that it would have a truck bed at the front front and the driver’s cab at the rear. Perhaps the single most impressive thing about the entire build is that it is fully road-legal, with all the modifications duly authorized by the responsible state bodies.
We can recollect a similar tuning attempt having been made in Russia. A Stavropol man once turned his elderly Zhiguli sedan backwards. Unfortunately, he neglected to follow the road-legal requirements, so he ended up with the vehicle registration revoked and a hefty fine on top of that.
