Bulk Vanderhuge posted:Fog machine, we have the technology When I was a stupid teenager some friends and I put a fog machine in a car and ran it full blast while cruising the area where all the other stupid teenagers cruised on Friday and Saturday nights. We'd crack the windows at stop lights and let the smoke billow out, it was actually pretty awesome from a stupid teenager point of view and was a big hit.

kastein posted:You can usually tell depending on whether they've trimmed the sheetmetal for clearance, or just jacked it to the sky. If it's a low lift and the wheels/tires appear to fit up into the bodywork, there's a chance it gets used, if the sheetmetal isn't touched and it's got a few feet of lift to avoid the tires hitting everything but the lottery, it's a useless posermobile. I'm in the IE, which is sort of the epicenter for this kind of douchebaggery and , someone told the bros about the trimming thing. So now we have way to clean, chrome trucks with massive lifts and fenders and bumpers done. Also, massive number of fake pre-runners that have clearly never seen dirt with spare tires in the bed. Ugh.

Generally the 4wd's in Aus are kinda split three ways- Theres the Normally modified ones for touring the outback and high country, then theres the retardedly huge illegal ones, then theres the late model 4wd dual cabs, running 24" tyres and rubber bands on em! Apparently they buy the 4wd versions for the wheel clearances to fit bigger donks on em!

 I have no idea what this is, but it looks kind of like a Peel P50 but it has "Electric Vehicle" stickers all over it. It's very "look at me! I'm saving the earth.". Mind you, I see this car across the street from Coda and a mile down the road from Tesla. So it's not like he didn't have choices. Aurune fucked around with this message at 01:00 on Oct 28, 2012 |

I was taking a nap in my car before my shift at work and got woken up by people honking.

I believe those are factory spoilers for the GT. There's an AWD badge, so it's not a GT, but they might've still been an option from the dealer.

Code Jockey posted:I would assume cornering at greater than 2 mph would do the trick? That looks like quite a narrow wheel base for such a tall vehicle, but it could just be me. CM is likely as near the front axle as they can get it. Remember, there's no real weight in a roof. Tadpole trikes outhandle the poo poo out of four wheel cars, if you get the weight distribution right. Still no excuse for it being so loving ugly though.

The "sand smooth" part of the Bondo process is not something you want to skip. Or they hammered it out using an axe, I can't really tell what is going on here.

They appear to be some sort of portal axle, since the bottom of the axle housing is slightly above the center of the wheel. Not sure who makes 6 lug portals... Unimog? Either way, it's too goddamn tall/narrow to be useful offroad in any real conditions.
