This man loaded 1,000Ib of wood into his tiny Honda Fit, while giving the internet one bone-chilling warning.
Andrew Glubbey was a man on a mission – he was building a pear shaped house out of wood.
Sure, it’s not the most traditional of pursuits, but he wasn’t going to be deterred by his lack of a truck.
With his Honda Fit at the ready, he was moving around lumber like nobody’s business – but he had just one rule to stick by. And it was a biggie.
Andrew Glubbey is a man who knows what he likes
If the name Andrew Glubbey rings a bell, it might be because he’s the guy who created a pear shaped moped.
Yes, really.
There are unconventional ways to carry out a road trip, and then there’s that.
To be fair, fruit themed vehicles do have precedent – just take a look at this orange car if you don’t believe us.
So it’d be fair to say that Glubbey is a man who likes to think outside the box.
And he is sure is proving that with his latest endeavor.
Moving 1,000Ib of wood around in a Honda Fit isn’t an ideal situation
Glubbey is building the world’s largest pear shaped house.
What exactly happened in his life to make him love pears so much isn’t entirely clear, but we’re here for it.
When we asked Glubbey why a pear was such a source of interest, he gave a detailed answer.
“I’ve always found the shape of a pear to be fascinating, it really all started when I built the pear car, the pear was a perfect shape for a motorcycle because I could fit all my gear in the round and fat bottom part of the pear and then look through the top of it,” he told Supercar Blondie.
“At this point the pear symbolizes freedom to me, whether it’s the open road or a pear shaped cabin in the backwoods. I guess it’s just kinda my symbol now!”
Whatever encourages people to get their fiber and Vitamin C, we support.
But as you might expect, a project of this scale requires a whole lot of wood, and that logically means you need a vehicle to move all of that around, right?
Well, Glubbey doesn’t quite have a truck on standby – he’s got a Honda Fit.
“This project consumes wood like nothing else I’ve built before!” he said.
Now there’s nothing wrong with a Honda Fit – Mark Zuckerberg was once pictured driving one – but it’s not exactly a heavy hauler car.
But Glubbey made it work.
The one rule he sticks by while transporting wood in his Honda Fit
Admittedly, his Honda Fit was rammed to full capacity, with boards pouring over into the passenger seat.
And some of these boards had nailed sticking out of them – and they were at headrest height.
There was something very Final Destination about the whole thing.
“Just remember, don’t hit the brakes too hard,” Glubbey said in a video showing off his endeavor.
Those are certainly words to live by, or die by, depending on the outcome.
Viewers were somewhere between startled and impressed, it seemed.
“Dude literally put Final Destination in his car,” one said.
“I miss my Honda Fit! I always said ‘It’ll fit in the Fit’ (and 99% of the time, it did!),” another wrote.
“The rusty nails that are perfectly at neck/head height is frying me,” a third commented.
All we can say is god-speed and good luck with the pear house.
And take care out on the road – a splinter will be the least of your concerns with all that wood in the car.
