Driving onto the Nawrocki residence on Crossmolina Farm, you might think that you’re at a monster truck rally. But don’t worry, these vehicles won’t be used to crush anything. Building these machines is what Rick Nawrocki does for a hobby.
“The kids call them trucksters,” said Nawrocki in a recent interview. Nawrocki admits that he hasn’t come up with a suitable name for his machines just yet. He built these cars because “I wanted to do something unique.”
The white ‘truckster’ is the newer of the two Nawrocki has. It is about a year and-ahalf old. He spent approximately 18 months putting it together, working mostly nights and weekends.
By day Nawrocki works as the manager at Crossmolina Farm, where he lives with his wife Sandi and two kids, Jessica and Mattie. He also has a welding business that he runs on the side.
The Nawrocki family does have a “normal” vehicle: a Chevrolet mini-van. Rick, however, can be seen on occasion driving his white machine around Rappahannock County.
And yes, it’s legal.
Rick’s original ‘truckster , a gray one, was taken off the road a couple of years ago
