EPIC: Retiree Achieves His Bumpy Dream

What's a mustached man to do in retirement to keep the ol' skull cheese properly fluffed? I don't know what half of that sentence means.

As featured during this morning's Happy News Over Angry Music segment (7:15ish), a Pennsylvania retiree took a break from telling kids to get off his lawn (j/k) to build a street-legal bumper car.

Dan Hryhorcoff is the retired owner of a machining plant. Bored during the pandemic, he used his skills to build a replica of a 1950s pedal car. But that wasn't enough.

So he built a giant street-legal roadworthy bumper car that was modeled (with permission) after the bumper cars at Knoebels Amusement Resort.

Pimpin' ain't easy...unless you're pimpin' in a giant bumper car.

How Did He Do It?

Dan took a three-wheeled motorcycle and Frankensteined it with a 2007 Chevy Aveo.

Dang, dude.

Other previous Dan Projects include a submarine, go-karts, and a telescope featuring a custom-made (by Dan) mirror.

If I ever retire (LOL), I'm probably just gonna play Legend of Zelda videogames until I believe that I'm actually in the game.
