Recall the mid-aughts. It was a time of insanity, as while cable TV had always been a bit out there, we were not prepared for the onslaught of what was to come from those channels. As the History Channel migrated away from your parents' World War II history documentaries, a domino that would likely doom the US two decades later, to alien conspiracy theories, so too did every other channel swing to reality TV.
One of the biggest proponents of that trend was the Discovery Channel, which I later worked for for about a half second after it came in, bought Motor Trend and all its titles, and then laid everyone off. That, however, is neither here nor there, as one of the programs that Discovery put forward was the Jesse James-headed Monster Garage, which captured the imaginations of many a would-be builder.
And on one particular episode of the show where a new team would create something weird and wonderful out of a derelict car, the team aimed to create the world's fastest lawnmower out of a Fox Body Ford Mustang. While they did it, that concept is one that hasn't gone away, with Honda looking for the crown a few years back. That mower, however, didn't have blades and didn't cut grass. This build by the CBoys, though, it can cut grass.
