Test driving the Extra Terrestrial Vehicle up to 100 mph

After our story last week on Florida car builder Mike Vetter's Extra Terrestrial Vehicle spread across the Internet, videographer Michael Berenis went to Vetter's shop for a test drive — including getting the ETV up to 100 mph. As crazy as you think it looks, it's much stranger in reality.

As we noted earlier this month, Vetter has built eight copies of the ETV, using various donor vehicles; under the skin of this edition rests the drivetrain from a Chevy Cobalt SS mated to a custom steel frame. Most builders who try something this wild lack Vetter's attention to detail, and as this video shows, the ETV isn't just bits of other cars welded and glued together.
