Have you seen it in person? It really is a neat peice of engineering, that fits into the container of a bad joke. And when that flame is within 10ft you kinda know it's the real deal.

Outhouse

Put a JCW sticker on it and it'd be doubly craptastic!

Not to mention this plug for the Future Queen of Nebraska from the Dall*** News (http://sportssay.beloblog.com/archives/2005/09/12/):

Port-O-Jet ready to race

Now's here's a race car you don't see every day.
Port-O-Jet, the world's only jet-powered outhouse, will scoot around the dirt track at Lowe's Motor Speedway Saturday night in Charlotte.
It's a four-wheel vehicle fitted with a standard outhouse and a jet engine. The "car" is capable of speeds near 70 mph.
They should paint it pink and have Pepto-Bismol has the sponsor.
