Monster Garage fans: Turn an RX-8 into??

If they ever put an RX-8 on Monster Garage, what should they make it into?

My 13 year old son say they should make it into a limo with 5 or six freestyle doors on each side.

What's your suggestion??


For those who don't know, Monster Garage is a show on the Discovery Channel where they take a ordinary street vehicle and modify into some type of specialty vehicle, like an Impala into a Zamboni machine. (And yes, I am still supressing the RX-7 episode from my memory).

noahprtlnd already ripped out his engine and sqeezed in a V-8. Wasn't that enough? I can't believe they could do any better:

They should never put an RX-8 on Monster Garage. I like watching the show but I'd would really hate to see them cut up an RX-8. They already destroyed an RX-7 and Jesse hated that car from the start. Admittedly it was the heaviest, slowest model made but it was still hard to see him turn it into swiss cheese.

If they had to build anything out of an RX-8, I'd like to see a full working real life Transformer built just like the toy. (Yes I understand it wouldn't actually be alive.)

rotarygod, I'm with you on this. Watching them turn a mint RX-7 cnvt into a 3-wheel dunebuggy and then make it swiss cheese by shooting it up with 10,000 rounds from an anti-aircraft gun made me tune out to Jesse and Co.

Put one o' dose Fode Mustang V-8's under the hood, put on some big, high profile, raised white letter tires, slap a "Turbo Action" sticker on the side, and sell thousands of them in the USA (unfortunately, probably true)...a real sports car, yeah!
