Now this is one vehicle that I certainly wouldn’t want to be caught sitting in during an accident. We all know just how much love fire has for wood, and I certainly don’t want to end up being immolated before knocking on heaven’s doors. Made from wood by a Japanese furniture maker, this Wooden Supercar can hit a top speed of 80km/h. You’ll have to fork out approximately $32,000 for this highly flammable ride.

[...] We’ve seen a smorgasbord of unusual ways to get back and forth to work, and while you could certainly catch us aboard a real-world Mario Kart or jet-powered scooter, traversing the 101 in a completely wooden automobile isn’t exactly within our realm of acceptable risk. Nevertheless, the Sada furniture company in Japan has crafted such a vehicle, and the president of the firm has even driven it into a news studio just to show it off. Reportedly, the vehicle can actually reach a top speed of just under 50 miles-per-hour, but considering it would cost you around ¥3,900,000 ($32,819) to take one of your own home — not to mention the implausibly high insurance rates on a flammable vehicle — you’re probably better off just living vicariously through the videos after the jump.
