I am thinking he has cleaned out his shed, instead of putting all the garbage in the back he has decided to add it to the outside of the vehicle. If it sells, great all his garbage gets taken away, if not just gets recycler to pick it up. Win-win situation!

No. It is someones fun project and modded to a theme.

Of course it will draw a lot of wrath from those who believe that modding must exclusively consist of:

Big shiny rims
Shaker
Bonnet Bulge
Stripes
Decals with engine size/power/some reference to a historical vehicle/an animal with wheels/competition insignia
Wings
Air dams
Shiny blingy stuff
Lowered suspension
Many exhausts
Bright vivid colours
Dyno report with big numbers
ET report with small numbers
etc etc.

It actually looks like one of the "variety bash" vehicles that tend to blast about every few months raising money for various charitable causes.

That's actually what I was thinking too, judging by the roof mounted warning lights and such.
