I spy with my little eye, something that doesn't quite belong.

LOL, at least use as outdoor fixture. Kind of a sweet idea though.

Yeah I had to give that the double look when I saw it in one of the wagons at the junkyard. It's got a length of power cable going down towards the fusebox that's been cut. Someone cut pretty much every wire to the fuse box as well.

Ewww, grosss. Now, if it was an all weather outlet with a baddass inverter with appropriate wiring, that would be cool.

If I had a mud truck, I would have a welder mounted on the vehicle.

lol, electric turbo. He just unhooks it when he's not racing around and wants better fuel economy?

Don't those "electric turbos" push less air than the engine actually pumps through on it's own? So it's actually a drag on the engine rather than creating boost?

All of the super cheap ones do. There IS one that costs about $5,000 and runs off of like 4 batteries that you need to have in your trunk and that one pushes enough air. Yet, for that price, you may as well get an actual turbo. Haha.

It's in a junkyard so it probably came out of the car or someone was drinking it while trying to decide if that was a factory option that they could have installed on their legacy.

I keep seeing these on wrecked legacy's from Canada and Alaska - connected to them is the block & battery heaters.

The ones I've seen had the outlet lower in the car, below the radiator.
