That yellow truck with the peterbilt front end is badass. Were you there on purpose or did you just happen upon the event?

It is a peterbuilt lol. A highly modified peterbuilt not a big car or truck with a peterbuilt front end.

I just happened to be up there visiting my brother in law who is also big into the car scene up there and told us about it so we had to go.
