Default All-new Cadillac Escalade double-header???

Spotted in downtown Charlotte on saturday night... It looked like it had dual 46" flat-screens facing opposite sides, mounted in the middle of this monstrocity. There's a small gap between the two halves you can see from the picture. The headlights serve as the brake lights in the rear. Anyone ever seen anything like this? Can I get a or a ?

Thanks for sharing that and taking a pic. That generation Esclade is utter garbage and putting two together is like welding two giant turds together.

That cannot be legal lol

There is one advantage though - you can park either way on either side of the street

Lots of these pushmepullyou vehicles have been assembled, usually from two rear-end crash victims, They are usually just a gimmick with no practical use. A few have actually attempted to drive both ends of the vehicle using both engines (FWD only), a pretty neat trick, but the problems are legion. All but a handful remove the rear engine and drive the "rear" wheels through a solid axle.

Unique,,,eh,,,poorly put together and assembled,,DEFINATELY!!!! Can't say that I am surprised that somebody did this. Pretty much the same thing as when people used to chop up the old Checker cabs and do the same thing. For those of you who have no idea of what a checker cab is, dating myself, think of the tv show Taxi with Danny Devito. those were checker cabs.

As James showed us on TopGear, that is not a good idea.... He had an Alfa (feisty) and a Saab (sensible...) It was all just a bad idea.
