I have destroyed many foreign objects with my non-nitrous mower, not on purpose of course. I agree that neither mower did anything that impressive.

Not that you would want to, or should. I guess it was okay for show, but I really was not impressed. The jack stands and lowering the mower with a 2-ton jack seem like overkill. And how is it a hot rod without a custom paint job?

They should have mixed the music soundtrack lower so you could actually hear the mower. Overall my impression was yeah so the guy's seen one too many episodes of Home Improvement or something, and what a waste of resources. The effort could have been spent on a more meaningful project.

At least the turbocharger guy did some real fabrication. Only way to top him is with a supercharger or turbine, IMHO. I love the Cherry Bomb, but the rest is kinda dumb.
