There is a man driving his living room around downtown Lexington

Today, in news that you have to see to believe, a man has souped up his regular ole couch by turning it into a mobile living room.

While taking a post-dinner walk on Wednesday night with my girlfriend and our dog, I was caught off guard when I spotted three people riding in the aforementioned living room up Rose Street just off of UK’s campus. I had no choice but to stop and stare while they were waiting at a red light (because even couches must obey traffic laws). It wasn’t until they started to peel off that the surprise wore off and I whipped out my phone to catch it on video — I knew most wouldn’t understand it without proof.

It’s exactly what it sounds like, too. It’s a normal couch (except for the whole being powered by a motor thing) with a steering wheel in the middle that also serves as a side table. It’s equipped with lamps, a desk behind the couch to hold the lamps and a few plants, string lights, and a rather large table so you can kick back and relax. It even appears to have a rug for your feet, taking La-Z-Boy to a whole new level.

As it turns out, this couch has its own Instagram account, couchcarlex, which boasts nearly 45,000 followers. The driver in charge has been making his way around Lexington for about two weeks now, judging by his account. As ClutchCargo said on KSBoard, the driver better hope he’s not out and about when Kentucky wins a national championship.
