This SC man made a Krabby Patty car from the SpongeBob movie. Watch what he did with it

Some South Carolinians might have seen exceptionally fast food cruise along the backroads of the state lately.

No, that was not a mirage.

The Krabby Patty car from “The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie” is real. A man from South Carolina built it.

Then he drove it across the state.

Called the Patty Wagon in the 2004 film, the vehicle was conceived of and built by Chay Denne of Greer, who recorded the entire ordeal and posted the video to his YouTube channel. The video currently has more than 5 million views.

Chay said in the video that he and his brother Colby loved the SpongeBob movie growing up.

“I just had the craziest idea … what if we built the Krabby Patty from the SpongeBob movie,” Chay said to his brother in the video.

The vehicle was built using parts from a golf cart from 1986 and a 120 horsepower engine from a motorcycle.

Colby helped with the construction at first, thinking the vehicle would be given to a famous YouTuber. However, Chay had decided to gift the burger car to his brother as a surprise instead.

Right before the vehicle was finished, Chay sent his brother and his girlfriend on a surprise vacation in Myrtle Beach.

His plan?

To finish the vehicle, then drive it 250 miles and deliver it to his brother while he was at the beach.

“The best part about all of this was Colby having no idea this was for him,” Chay said. “This is just a giant thank you for all his support over the years.”

Once construction was complete, the journey was underway, which was not without its issues.

The entire trip would usually take 5 hours in a normal vehicle. However, the trip with the Patty Wagon would take considerably longer, requiring the use of back roads and for Chay to spend the night somewhere. Chay only had about 20 hours to deliver the car before his brother began the return trip from his vacation.

While trying to make the long trip, his car began trending on social media, threatening to ruin the surprise. Chay had to reach out to his brother’s girlfriend and make sure he didn’t see it.

Then later, a police officer pulled Chay over. Though he was worried that might ruin the trip, it turned out the officer was off duty and just wanted to take a picture of the patty.

About halfway into the trip, the car began to make a weird noise and then the engine died in a parking lot.

“No matter what I did or how long I cranked it, it wouldn’t start,” Chay said.

Chay and his father, who had been traveling behind him the whole trip, were able to fix the electrical issue that had stopped the car, but they lost two hours doing so.

Eventually, Chay delivered the car and surprised his brother just as he was about to leave his resort.

“Colby has always had my back no matter what and one day I hope to repay him for all he’s done,” Chay said. “But for now, I think the Patty Wagon is a good start.”
