500HP Thai Longboats: 100MPH & NO BRAKES Down Tight Canals | Capturing Car Culture

Larry Chen usually photographs high performance car culture, but on a visit to Thailand discovers a local boat builder who reuses old car and truck engines to blast long boats through narrow canals at super speed. Stacks of salvaged parts seem like ancient artifacts, the pure power end product reveals the builder’s genius. Evidence of how local recycling ingenuity can create unimagined innovation through iteration with what’s cheap and available.
