The Spruce Goose’s Earth bound counterpart

In Soviet Russia, wood…oh nevermind.

Vasily Lazarenko from Chernovtsy, Ukraine fashioned this car all on his own out of wood.

Unfortunately, the spring/wheel combo is just all wrong. And who knows how well it does in crash tests. Word is, Splinter from the ninja turtles has already spoken for this one. See, I can go on for hours, the jokes are endless.

The chassis and engine are from a 1981 Opel with a 100-horsepower engine, so this wooden creation is definitely all show and no go. Word has it the car is for sale for “as much as it cost to make,” which Lazarenko will not specify.

Check back after the jump for more pics and an unusual surprise from this car.

Yep, the car is half “new” styling, half old.

Hey, the car looks a hell of a lot cleaner than this European relic: (check out the rims!)

That guy has a split personality.

I wonder how many miles he’s logged in that car?

He really needs to spruce up that interior.

Do you think the speedo measures in knots?

He went out on a limb to come up with that idea.

This should make him the most poplar guy in Ukraine.

…and I’m spent.

Well, I for one think that he should stick to his plans. Knock wood they’ll come to something worthy of his long-dreamed-of promotion to mahogony row. They’ve certainly proven that he’s not just another shade tree mechanic.

I certainly hope that those seats have good lumber supports — he’s going to need that while he’s criss-crossing the globe serving on board after board when word gets out about his polished capabilities.

And though the past may seem dark as ebony, he will certainly pine for those early mornings with the sun peaking through the branches. Yes, those days will seem fir away, indeed.

Thats pretty funny Egg’s.

But you didn’t address the critical question; how much wood would a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood?
