The Wooden Maniwa is a Termite's Dream Meal

The wooden Maniwa is a Japanese sports car manufactured by Sada-Kenbi and is the coolest former tree that one could have inside their garage.

The best thing about the wooden Maniwa? The car is actually street legal. It can go up to 80km/h and is up for sale at a bargain price of $44,000. If you do bid on this bad boy, be sure to buckle up when you are cruising next to a Semi. Remember, safety always comes first when riding in a car that could be warped by the rain.
