Hehe that's... just..... does that remind anyone of the late 40's or early 50's Dodge's? With the big cylindrical "air conditioner" hanging off the right side of the roof?

LOL!

If he was smart he would have just bought a big-ass inverter and a 2nd battery instead of the generator.

That guy who did that with a bigass inverter and the window mounted ac through the back of the cab into the truckbed made it look a lot better.

If he was smart, he wouldn't be driving that deathtrap in the first place....

A gas powered generator bolted to the trunk of a moving car?? OMG :Q
Uhh, yeah, that's not like a massive fire / safety hazard or anything...Wonder who would take the blame if that ghetto-rigged piece of $hit were to blow off the trunk (or out the window) on the expressway or something. Imagine hitting a generator or window AC unit at 75 MPH!

I can guarantee you that redneck wouldn't stop to get the crap off the road if it did fall off, either.

Inverters with the capability to start a PCR tin can in a window shaker would not run off an auto electrical system even if a second battery was affitted. Inverters of this caliber are 48VDC+ in. LRA even on a small (6000 btu/h) shaker is going to be 30+A at 120VAC. In lower latitudes this will never sufficiently cool the cabin of a mid sized sedan either. Most auto a/c capacities are over 24,000 btu/h!

Gas generator...carbon monoxide....permeable rear deck + seats....not to mention the exhaust smell...

That would be extremely idiotic. Though I wouldn't put it past this guy. He bolted a 100-200lb generator to sheetmetal with L-braces.

I'm sorry, I just can't get over the sheer retardedness of that whole setup :(
