Mechanic Jimmy Driver has seen his fair share of bizarre vehicles over the years, but his very own creation, Mortis, most likely tops them all. the Standing 10-feet tall and weighing in at 20,000-pounds, it started off as a 1967 Cadillac superior hearse, but after lots of work, along with parts from school buses and tractors, it became this 6-wheeled beast. It’s powered by a V6 53 Detroit Diesel engine and designed to compete in local mud bogging competitions. One caveat: it has a top speed of 12mph. Read more for a video and additional information.
What is mud bogging? It’s basically a motor sport where various types of vehicles are driven through mud courses, and the driver who’s able to navigate the course best, wins.

I mean, Jimmy has spent the past 15-years adding and modifying various things on Mortis.
