Now I'm no mechanic, obviously, but if you were to ask me whether or not a car would still run if the back half were chopped off, I'd probably say no. Faced with the following videos, however, I may have to change my answer. If I were forced to consider how the cars in these videos are able to move at all, I'd probably say something about front-wheel-drive, or auxiliary/re-routed gas tanks -- but again, I have no idea what I'm talking about. Maybe Autoblog can lend a hand -- how do these zombie cars run? They take the term "ghost car" to a whole new level. [More videos to follow]
No, no -- not dangerous at all. Jump in!
Want to cut your own car in half? Here's a tutorial.
Back in the seventies when I was a foreman for a Bodyshop....We did cut an old four door Studebaker in half...removed the back doors and put it back together...painted it and exhibited it at the county fair. it looked like it came that way from the factory but Studebaker never made any two door Larks. The shop owner gave it to his Teen age son after we were done.

I would say it's pretty much interesting and amazing. But hilarious?
BTW, I would ride one of these chopped cars , but I would never go backwards.
