We rented a car in Ft Lauderdale and drove up to see Herb Adams
in eastern Tennessee.
Herb is very creative and very famous. He was the project engineer
at GM on the Pontiac Fire-bird Transam. When he moves he usually designs and
builds his own house. This one has a 9000 square foot shop in the bottom
and house on top. He has designed and built three houses so far. All with
big shops in the basement. Many cars. He is also a race car driver.
Here is Herb's low frontal area motor home for towing his race cars.
It has a 8" wide by 12" high steel back bone framefor standing head room
and a low CG. Weighs 11,000 pounds.

Drives like a car with a better ride
than a pick up truck. 16 MPG on diesel. Easily goes 90 MPH.
