My brother had this project over the summer, just sold it yesterday
(Eh, for the better, he'd have probably killed himself driving it)

Rocket car?

You sure those wheels aren't landing gear?

"Chicago Astronomer" would look nice stenciled along the side.

Ha well rocket car was the nickname for it... "red rocket" had a good double entendre

Some company made 300 of them as a regular production car (I forget the company name, I'd never heard of it before) it's basically a motorcycle in the back with the front fork chopped off.

There's a reason you probably haven't seen one before, it was put together very poorly. One time around the block in it and my brother snapped the steering and flew into someone's lawn at 30MPH - thankfully he just landed in a lawn and nothing serious happened. Turned out the steering rods were all bent because they didn't have enough clearance with the A/C unit, and he was lucky enough to be in it when they snapped.

Oddly there's quite a collector following for them. He made quite a nice profit when he sold it for $11k
