CONVENTION CRASHING: OFF-ROAD IMPACT



Shark buggy has bite

Bill Billington is following his dream, his dream of a supermodified boulder-crawling off-road vehicle shaped like a shark, complete with a tail and bloody teeth.

He was looking to get into rock crawling seven years ago, and then he went on a trip to Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and bought the jaws of a mako shark, the jaws that became his muse.

"I bought this mouth and came back and said we need to build this shark," Billington said. "They all said I was crazy - my wife, my partner, everybody."

Well, they all laughed at Christopher Columbus, too. (But not because of the round-Earth thing. Still, you get the point.)
