Why Would You Put a Jet Engine on an ATV?

Popular Science staff photographer John Carnett may have gone right off the deep end. Either that or he's been breathing jet fuel for way too long.

Let me explain... If you had a Polaris RZR SxS ATV and a jet engine just laying around the garage, what, in your right mind, would make you go "Hey. I'm gonna put that jet engine into my ATV!"? Nope. It's not every day you see an ATV with a jet engine, and there's probably a very good reason for that.

What would you do with it? Seriously. Maybe take it down to the local 1/4 mile track, throw some wheelie bars on it with a parachute, and let her rip! Lets just hope he has all the right ATV safety gear. And perhaps an ejection seat.
