That Car Is Trash

Actually, it is multiple pieces of trash. The "shrimpmobile" was built by Orismar de Souza, a homeless panhandler in Brazil, with junk, spare parts and a hammer and chisel. It is powered by a 125cc motorcycle engine and assembled with junked parts. In December Souza was able to replace the motorcycle engine's kickstarter with a car ignition, and add in a gearbox with reverse. The shrimpmobile can reach 50 mph. We would be kind of concerned trying to stop the sucker with discarded brakes.
