Drag Hearse
From 0-60 in 7 Seconds; from church to grave in the same 7 | |
I fancy myself a velocity-fiend in this life, and would have nothing less if I should pass to that "Big race track in the sky." The concept is to have a hearse that could accomodate roughly 13-second quarter-mile times. Thus providing the perfect close to a life of speed. However, it may be a good idea
to have the funeral home at the end of a pre-established drag strip as to avoid moving violations. I'm talkin alcohol-injected, mandatory wheelie bars and drag chutes. The works. and at LEAST one 100mph + run down the strip. It would make the phrase "I wouldn't be caught dead in that car" expression to a new morbid level, but you wouldn't have to worry -- you're dead in a hot rod!

+ "It wasn't the cough that carried him off....."
Good Stuff! |

I went banger racing on Sunday and there were two hearses taking part. One towing a caravan., Now that would be a send off. |
|
| |
Previously halfbaked in 1964 by the TV show "The Munsters". |

I would imagine its not as easy as it seems -- all the expensive corpse-retention equipment, and what if the casket wasn't buckled in right, and went FLYING from the windshield as the drogue chutes deployed ... but you're right -- "ya only die once" -- |
|
| |
Letsbuildafort, you're missing the point... You DELIBERATELY don't secure the coffin, so that at the end of the run you are flung at high velocity through a specially made hatch in the front of the hearse straight into your waiting grave. |
|
| |
Well then you'd have to get specially trained drivers and what not. For an extra fee of course. |
|
| |
Better than through the front would be if the hearse in question were a side-loader and the driver made a j-turn right in front of the plot. |

IF? What are the alternatives? |
