MINNESOTA — When I was a child, I watched "Jurassic Park" while having a sleepover at a friend's house, far earlier than I probably should've.
For a few years, dinosaurs terrified me before I finally came around to realizing how fascinating they are.
But if anything in the world would've been sure to scare the daylights out of a 6-year-old me, it would be a giant, mobile, Tyrannosaurus rex ... vehicle?
It sounds crazy to even type, but it was reality in Minneapolis, as seen in this brief but thought-provoking video.
What does one even call a rig like this?
A prehistoric Porsche? A dinosaur Denali? A model T.rex?
I'm certainly not a snitch, but the legality of a vehicle like this also came into question. At best, it's questionable, and thinking rationally, its legality is extremely doubtful. But maybe it gets some leeway in terms of coolness? Probably not in the eyes of the law.
And what of its driver? Frankly, I'd like to sit down with the guy and talk shop. I'm sure the story of how and why the vehicle came to be could fill chapters on its own.
You really can't replicate the type of raw, natural swagger he exudes while sitting atop his T. rex.
So — recognizing it's an extremely long shot — if you're the driver of this impressively prehistoric vehicle and somehow happen to be reading this, you know how to find me.
At the very least, you have a fan in Utah.
