It's not Russia, it's Switzerland.

[–]minodul 11 points12 points ago

Quote from the oven-dude: "I didn't even know we had so many policemen in Switzerland.." Made me laugh :)

[–]poteaser 4 points5 points ago

I would think that would be dangerous in the event of an accident.

[–]chilibarbados 17 points18 points ago

He'll be fine, it's a Volvo.

[–]Wyrmshadow[S] 4 points5 points ago

I found the image as a "hipster heater" , did a tineye search and found nothing. Meanwhile in Switzerland isn't as funny.

[–]hawtdiggitydawg -1 points0 points ago

shameless karma whoring

[–]MattyClutch 1 point2 points ago

I don't speak the language, do you have any details on the 'first' bit? I had understood this was actually pretty common in the later parts of WWII. Is this different?

[–]jgwentworth420 4 points5 points ago

You're referring to woodgas generation, aka gasifier:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasification

This man has simply placed a wood oven in his car...

[–]MattyClutch 0 points1 point ago

Ah, thank you.

[–]AggressiveAggressive 0 points1 point ago

I saw some hippies in Colorado that had wood floors and a wood burning stove in their VW bus. It was quite quaint and cozy in the winters I'm sure.

[–]jgwentworth420 0 points1 point ago

Oh nothing against it, just pointing out the differences. I'd be interested to see that VW, sounds pretty sweet.

SIMPSONS DID IT!!!

[–]Guildo -1 points0 points ago

Wasn't it in Germany? I saw it on TV and the guy spoke german.

[–]martintrenker 5 points6 points ago

please try to be funny

[–]hodensack420 2 points3 points ago

Swiss German fo sho.

[–]tehdwarf 0 points1 point ago

Called german.

Isn't german.

[–]DeutschLeerer 0 points1 point ago

Swiss "German" or "Schwyzerdütsch" is not "german" per se, but closely connected. The accent sounds almost arabic for a middle-german speaker.

[–]Zoshchenko 10 points11 points ago

Yeah, that IS a crazy haircut!

Nooooo......

[–]Dr_Ifto 17 points18 points ago

Reminds me of that one Top Gear episode.

Anne Hathaway's cottage:

[–]kickasstakenames 2 points3 points ago

"Quaint My Ride" should be a thing. I could use a wing-back or two in my car.

[–]JlyGrnGiant 0 points1 point ago

I'd watch that.

[–]masonshr 4 points5 points ago

Is that Macklemore?

[–]Feed_Me_Upvotes 0 points1 point ago

He bought that fireplace at the thrift shop

[–]AggressiveAggressive 2 points3 points ago

Still not as hot as the stock Volvo heater.

[–]the__itis 0 points1 point ago

i guess the engine is electric

[–]Molli_Cocktails 1 point2 points ago

Why is this a world record? Didn't know there was an ongoing competition to put stoves in your fucking car.

[–]thebornotaku 1 point2 points ago

My favorite part about this is the little things -- it's in a Volvo 240 Polar Edition. That is, a special edition made by Volvo for the european markets that was supposed to be better in cold climates. So this guy put a wood-burning stove in it.

[–]seemonkey 1 point2 points ago

You'd think the "Polar Edition" would come with it standard. Stupid Swedes.

[–]AtomicOperator 1 point2 points ago

I guess the missus sits in the back and stokes the fire. "Steep grade ahead, Greta! Throw another log on the barbie!"

[–]treydestepheno 1 point2 points ago

looks like someone's gonna get carbon monoxide'd to death.

[–]truthpooper 1 point2 points ago

Are you sure that's not the car from the Double Dragon movie?

[–]Xeroshifter -1 points0 points ago

This is a terrible deal considering my handgun cost me around $500.

[–]turnleftdale 0 points1 point ago

This isn't funny, it's smart.

[–]Tucsonyc 0 points1 point ago

It's a car in Switzerland...

[–]TenTwenties 0 points1 point ago

That is a pretty crazy hairstyle

Why is Kim jong Un driving?

[–]LrnLrn 0 points1 point ago

steam punk

[–]johndeer89 0 points1 point ago

I always thought of the former Soviet countries to be some sort of post apocalyptic fantasy world, like Road Warrior or something.

[–]gonesnake 0 points1 point ago

Two words people: mobile smores.

[–]cajunbander 0 points1 point ago

Why not? We did it with trains. Cars are essentially the same thing minus the rails.

[–]eman462 1 point2 points ago

I like his hair.

[–]flamingboard 0 points1 point ago

Is he burning wood gas in the engine or just using it for heat? Both?

[–]Joefastlegs 0 points1 point ago

dat haircut

[–]d_b_cooper 0 points1 point ago

Is that a shorter-haired James May?

[–]Dorksome 0 points1 point ago

I'm jealous, I can't make smores while driving.

[–]overusedoxymoron 0 points1 point ago

All of the steampunk enthusiasts are creaming in their pants right about now.

[–]razorx71 0 points1 point ago

suddenly, carbon monoxide poisoning.

[–]MustHaveCleverHandle 0 points1 point ago

And then he accelerates suddenly and the guy in the back seat gets a lapfull of hot coals.

[–]Wubzzy 0 points1 point ago

Looks like it's S'Mores for lunch again.

[–]oldfurr 0 points1 point ago

Wasn't that Finland or something?

[–]metans 0 points1 point ago

installs fire in vehicle to keep warm

shaves sides of head for ventilation

[–]lickwidforse 0 points1 point ago

Why why why why. What a terrible idea for a haircut.
