We've got a couple of guys out here in Oregon that call themselves the Blastolene. Here's one of their creations:
1800 cubes, 1000 hp, 1500 ft-lbs of torque. Takes 17 gallons of oil and gets about 2 mpg. Top speed is about 120 mph, but you could pull a house with foundation attached. Just the thing to haul a tuba around in. Jay Leno bought it, but maybe they could throw something together for you.
you know what I was thinking? Instead of professionals "on the hunt" for a gig living in an apartment and paying rent or a house and house payments, why not just buy one of these camper things and park in wal mart parking lots all the time..... it would provide a practice space, sleeping area, and transportation all in one. I am sure that if one needs such things as waste disposal, there are enough junky KOA campgrounds around the us to appease your desires in that respect.
So that crucial year (or more) when a would be pro is jetting all around the country to auditions could be spent in relative comfort in one of these for probably much less than the cost of rent and a bunch of plane tickets.
I am not saying that it would be preferrable however........

That's so that women can have "Bentley Driver Envy"

You don't need a KOA, just a bridge over the Chicago River. (And a driver willing to take the fall for you.)
