Why? Why would someone do this, you might ask. And who? Who in the world would devote time to such a project? Also, what? What were they smoking? Must've been some potent stuff. 

Called the Cedar Rocket, the log car is the creation of Bryan Reid Sr. and friends. Reid is the founder of Pioneer Log Homes in Williams Lake, British Columbia, and more recently, the star of the quasi-reality HGTV Canada show Timber Kings, which follows Reid and his Pioneer crew on their builds and adventures. Once you meet Reid, it's easy to see his appeal to a producer. Sturdily built, he's an affable fellow with a trimmed gray beard and a rustic Canadian accent that makes him seem as down to earth as the trees he harvests. 

Behold, the World's Fastest Log Car
