Some people have an 'interesting' taste when it comes to personalising their cars and the US produces ridiculous creations every day.

If you let your imagination run wild I doubt that anyone could come up with anything close to what these Americans have created.

Here are the top five wildest conversions that have appeared on the internet in the past couple of days.

5. Mini Hummer truck

Back when the Hummer H3 was in production, Midwestern Americans already saw it as a small truck, but obviously the owner of this H3 wanted to take things that bit further.

Complete with side smokestacks, a wind deflector, additional horns, and a flaming dragon paint job, this thing will get you noticed for all the wrong reasons.

4. Pick-up School truck

Doesn’t this defeat the purpose of a school bus? Not really. In fact, it gives a new meaning to pile kids in the back.

3. School bus camper van

Here’s another former school bus which has been converted into something else; a camper van.

While very practical, the bus stands taller than some trees and the top half doesn't look like it's been secured correctly. Or at all. 

2. Monster truck RX-8

Nothing says American pride like a Mazda RX-8 converted into monster truck, sitting outside of a fireworks tent, and flying a combined US and Confederate flag.

Safe to say the rotary engine has been replaced by a V8. Didn’t see that one coming.

1. Grave digger hearse

Have you ever been to a funeral and realised that there hasn’t been a hole dug for the recently deceased?

With this car that will never been a problem as there is a scoop attached to the back, allowing for anyone to dig a grave whenever needed.

What is the worst car conversion you’ve ever seen? Let us know in the comments below.

Following a passion shared by his father and grandfather, Mitchell’s love of cars really kicked off with his Godfather’s purchase of a new Mazda RX-8. Exposure to that car changed his world forever, leading to an RX-7 obsession. To feed his automotive addiction, Mitchell decided to become a motoring journalist and made his mark at several high-profile motoring publications before landing at CarsGuide. While he is a rotary loyalist, Mitchell also has a massive love for Aussie muscle cars, and dreams of one day getting behind the wheel of a Charger R/T E49 (if anyone will let him). His other passions include Queensland, and spending Saturdays with the boys.
