Would probably have no trouble filling it up and thinking I need a bigger one

That thing is awesome unless you have to pay the fuel bill.

If you can afford to buy it, you can afford to feed it.

Looks like a dream rig to me. Probably has more square feet of living space than my house.

Semi's, all things equal, basically get the same mpg no matter how much weight they have. Once a load is moving (on flat ground), maintaining it's momentum doesn't vary a huge amount energy wise compared to wind resistance.

That thing is excessive to the extreme though, especially as somebody else said, for drag racing.

If I could afford the $300k+ for that rig, I'd just be staying in the nicest hotel room within 30 minutes-1 hour of the place... in fact, I'd probably just have somebody chaueffer me around in a helicopter.

That is epic!

Seems odd to have a Noble M12 riding on it...I was expecting a LeMonsesque Pinto or something.

Or turn it. Mighty long wheelbase on the tractor. Mighty long.

Ahhh the classic Toterhome, the private jet of the grassroots racing community. Chances are it's registered as a motorhome, which means that it doesn't have to weigh in, doesn't have to keep a log book, and doesn't require a CDL even!

In most states, all that's required is a place to sleep,store food, cook food, and shower. Most sleeper cab trucks can meet those requirements pretty easy.

I think I passed that on 70 or 44 one day.

i've seen a rig like that at motocross tracks with 2 dirtbikes in it... they even used the NASCAR style rear lift gate to put the bikes up top.. and, yes, the 10 year old kid who it "belonged" to was a snotty little puke.. and, no, i don't think they used it to haul a car when they weren't toting little Timmy around the state to run mid pack in the 65cc class since there were dirtbike themed stickers all over the inside of it.

$500 to $1000 per hour flying. Not like you need it for too long. That's a lot of flying time to purchase.

That rig is probably 750-800k. Hauling 3 cars, lift in the trailer, enough living room for the Duggars, plus can go anywhere nearly.

Unless you want to go anywhere in-town... I can't even imagine how it navigates tight right turns.

On a tangent, seeing the picture of the Noble above lead me down a Wikipedia rabbit trail, and I found that a company rebranded it, also making it for sale to the US.

Considering that Noble is a minor player, they designed quite a car. Here's the Rossion Q1:

I'm more impressed with the 'dually' front wheels on the Caddy than the Noble at the moment.

FWD Eldorado. The stock wheels have a ton of offset due the drivetrain design.

I believe for emmisions sake, you still have to buy your drivetrain separately through roush....
