“It’s not for everyday driving, obviously,” Michael Manning says as he stands in front of the 100-foot-long (30.5-meter) car that he helped to restore.
It’s hard to disagree. After all, can you imagine trying to park this thing outside Walmart, or visiting a drive-thru, or attempting a three-point turn, or going just about anywhere in it?
Awkward driving maneuvers aside, the super-stretched limo, which comprises six Cadillac Eldorados, has just been awarded a Guinness World Record. We don’t need to tell you which one.
The American Dream, as it’s called, has 26 wheels and enough space to hold around 75 people. It includes a waterbed, a swimming pool with a diving board, a jacuzzi, a mini-golf course, and even a specially strengthened helipad. And yes, it has a working engine, too.

As for the vehicle’s future, Manning appears keen to keep on going, saying, “Eventually we’re going to extend it.”

Maybe it's like Voltron and breaks up into four smaller cars. I know one thing, no matter what I wouldn't want to have to put gas in it, can you imagine what kind of mileage it would get? I wonder if the same guy that thought up the California bullet train also thought of this, both are totally useless and set records the bullet train for wasting taxpayer dollars and this thing for being long.
