The Lawnmower Man

The Pimp My Tricked-Out American Chopper trend of vehicle customization looks to have reached its pinnacle – or judging from the photo-op to the right, possibly its nadir. The Dixie Chopper LP3000, “the World’s Fastest Lawn Mower,” plowed into Austin yesterday as part of its nationwide promotional push, err, drive to promote propane as an alternate form of energy. (Insert your own Hank Hill joke here.) It must be in those keg-looking things attached on either side of the mower.
But with party boy Rick Perry there to – yes – race the mower, who knows? We wouldn't be surprised if they were filled with Natty Lite after all. As you can see from this thrilling pic, the Guv cruised down to Zilker Park and raced the LP3000 Monday. After all, Dixie looks like something him and Ted Nugent would ride when hunting the most dangerous game of all – man!
