Eric Wright can’t drive far until other people show up, yell, joke and take pictures. Wright didn’t do anything wrong. It’s just that the highest observers can’t see what happens when they see him in his van through the streets of town, on the road and in the parking lots.
Does Wright drive down the side of the road? Does it go against traffic? Or what exactly are you doing in your Chevy Silverado? Specifically, what are you doing in two Chevy Silverado pickup trucks from the 1970s, whose cockpits move in opposite directions?
The truck is originally from Arizona. It had been built through a Chevy broker and a GMC broker and used to park it in front of one position or another to draw attention to the respective businesses.
Although the truck has the same guide wheels, seats and lining and looks symmetrical, it can only be driven in one appearance. The engine is under the driver’s side of the truck; The trunk is under the hood on the passenger side (rear).
The truck has LED flashing lights at the front and giant brake lights from a school bus in the back.
The two-sided truck has a plate that says “What The”. This is an abbreviated edition of the well-known word “What is F?” This is what a DMV representative said when Wright first registered the vehicle.
“All I can say is that I laugh more at driving this vehicle than anything else I’ve driven,” said Wright, who lives in Tyngsborough, Massachusetts. “I handle this and take a picture every two minutes. It’s great.”
