mr creepy is awesome, i love the low look tho. wish i could have 4x4 and low, u know where i live it would be nice to have the hearse year round.

I actually do drive mine year round, but the 90 handles nicer than the 82 ever did!

Well that's why I tacked on "At least that's what I've heard." to the end of it. Take it with a grain of salt and do your own research. I find that to be an extremely plausable story though (unlike the batman one, although I do suppose the height to ground ratio and time of year could make that a possibility, sounds like that would make for a good Mythbusters show).

The batman one?


edit - From what I can tell the hearse was considered a success on the show which leads me to believe that it was able to dig. I won't be able to watch the actual episode until I get home though. Just from a few of the up close pictures I can see, it seems plenty capable of digging a six foot hole in the earth. A friend of mine dug a six foot trench with something of considerably less mass than what the hearse has available to it.

from what I heard, they got so much hate mail from the first hearse, they had to try to redeem themselves with this one. Look at the money they had made from that episode, not only from the ratings if three original airing but from repeats, DVD sales, and the toys. From their point of view, it was worth it. From ours, they should be drawn and quartered for doing that to a rare classic.$(KGrHqZ,!nYE8ZG)MF(JBPlt7o6IPw~~60_1.JPG

No chance the not heavy enough to dig thing is like that article about Chrysler's turbine car from the 60's which would melt asphalt is it?


Misinformation and innuendo aside, I still think its a pretty sweet ride.

Color me retarded; I think it looks pretty badass and the fact that it can dig a grave is just icing on the cake. I imagine it had to be a sideloader just so they could get a casket in and out of it with the backhoe attachment on the rear.

Well that's the problem, it COULDN'T dig graves. Car wasn't heavy enough and it just lifts itself off the ground. At least that's what I've heard.

In any case it's an abomination. Screw up a POS 90's, not a classic.

I think what hes saying is that if they built it to only dig the one time, for the show, then it is retarded. If it was put in service regularly, then its not so bad.

I highly doubt this thing did any thing after the show. What a waste of a cool old coach. Nice shape too.

After the shows air they would use the cars built for the show for promotion and put them on display in public places. IIRC they would just park them, not run them or anything.
