Very cool idea, I could see something like that being used on factory vehicles. Trucks/SUV's would be prime candidates since they have a lot of underside room anyways.

ok, so who's gonna be the first one to adapt this to an f-body?

that's pretty slick.....too bad i'd never be able to do it on my f-body, since it will be lowered soon, and i plan on adding subframes

The crazy thing is though - it doesn't tuck underneath the car but rather slides into it's own custom compartment as pictured in the graphic showing the coke can underneath the car. The clearance is never compromised. Crazy **** for sure! Imgaine pulling up somewhere and bustin that **** out .. You'd get comments EVERYWHERE you went. Super cool idea

Wow. That's pretty cool!

Now, if someone could come up with a low-cost way to make wives disappear that would even top the disappearing car door deal, lol.

it goes hand in hand with the disappearing door thing...

it's called the disappearing safety harness, in which the harness unbuckles, zips itself into the floorboard, and you're free to push said wife out of said disappearing door...

easy as pie.
not apple pie, that's a bit more complex...
but pudding pie... simple and easy

****, i wonder how bad it is when you cannot get it fixed?

Not to mention if you are in a accident and need to quickly escape the vehicle...

LOL at the disappearing wife comments. I believe some models come with an ejection seat for that Or if you don't want to spend that much on the ejection seat, you can order the muzzle option. LOL.
