Looks like an attempt at this

Yep. The Exocet hasn’t been around as long(I don’t think so anyway) and the idea is a little different. You start with a first or second gen Miata, throw the body away, & put the scaffolding on top of the “roller skate”. The end result is more or less the same with different drivetrain layouts, massive improvements in power/weight ratios. They have a US site now so it’s easy to get them and people are doing V6 and V8 swaps.

This pic is a basic swap(obviously not 100% complete) but they get pretty crazy

The sad part is that now towns are having to buy heavy lift ambulances for these lard bags... And these ambulances with special mobility stretchers and shit to retrieve these pieces of welfare shit... cost a fortune. But have to buy them for the handful of Frito-snorting shut-ins who will invariably 'farc out and need to be hauled off in a circus wagon.

HAD to look it up. Myanmar. And it was fatal. DOA right there. It seems that the propellant charge detonated instead of deflagrated and basically was the equivalent of a M67 frag going off right next to the unlucky guy's head. Given that A LOT of ordnance in Southeast Asia, especially the ones given to tourists to fire at ranges, are battlefield pickups from the Indochina and Vietnam Wars and circulated around, that particular RPG could have very well been one of the Operation Eldest Son munitions that USMACVSOG had rigged up and left in VC ammo caches between 1970 and 1975 to demoralize the VC. Also, the Burmese Free State Army have engaged in similar tricks against government forces in their still ongoing civil war, feigning retreat and leaving behind a lot of ammunition and mortars/rockets that had been modified to detonate on the operators upon firing.

He was at the head of his class, apparently...
