[quote]Police in the US state of Minnesota are planning to auction off a specially modified and motorised lounge chair whose owner crashed it while drunk. Dennis LeRoy Anderson, 62, pleaded guilty last Monday to driving the La-Z-Boy while drunk in August last year. The chair was impounded after he smashed into a parked car as he returned from a bar in Proctor. The chair comes with a stereo, nitrous oxide booster, parachute and a "hell yeah it's fast" sticker.[/quote] [url]http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/8323997.stm[/url] I'd buy this chair personally, but now they've advertised it on the news it'll probably go for thousands.
Do they sell impounded cars as well? In Britain if you don't claim a car after the police impound it's just crushed. And that chair looks horrible, why would anyone want it
Oh god, that's so fucking awesome. Wow it can go 20mph?

Badass man.

Why can't he have it back?
[QUOTE=Comcastic;17994357]Oh god, that's so fucking awesome. Wow it can go 20mph?[/QUOTE] probably has like a go-kart centrifugal clutch, very little torque, so it'd probably do it, but take forever to get there also holy crap 20mph in a lazy boy would be scary
Pimp my chair. Also i lol'd at the nitrous oxide system and [I]hell yeah it's fast[/I] sticker
It's the ultimate nerds' gadget. You'd never need to walk to the fridge to get more mountain dew.

Do want.

It's not like it's made out of drugs or anything, they can just clean it out, and sell it.

There's more then likely someone interested in a used EVO.

Imagine an office chair race with this thing....
Oh my god... I'd buy this thing in an instant. Someone, Quick! Make more of these!

I live in Minnesota and didn't even hear about this. Our news needs to do more stuff on this rather than H1N1.
Hey I heard about this in school. Living in Minnesota sure is...interesting.
I wouldn't want it unless I could poop in it.
