grover posted:It's pretty obviously rigged. They've got a 3rd wheel where we can't see it. They also would have had to have modified the differential and/or brakes, too. At about 40 seconds in, the camera pulls behind the truck going sideways and gently caress if I don't see but two wheels on the ground. It wouldn't be too hard for the driver to be able to feel whether the truck's starting to tip one way or the other and adjust the wheel accordingly, just like if you're riding a bike too slowly for the spinning wheels to be enough to keep you upright.

The interior's got some stains but that's just because my aunt/uncle basically use it as a pickup truck. Doesn't smell either, my aunt wouldn't be having any of that.

Krakkles posted:So I swapped my mustang lights recently, and when I pulled out the housings, I decided to replace the bulbs too. Typical behavior for a bottom-shelf cheap halogen bulb. They're not the brightest, but they last pretty much forever. Had one on my car a few weeks ago decide that after I slammed on my brakes for an idiot pulling out in front of me it was time to crap out; I've cautiously concluded that was a coincidence. Probably the stock bulb from when the car was new in 1999 too.

Oh, so we're abusing front-wheel-drive shitboxes now?  So I was looking for a fun drive. I thought I was here, and this road is paved. But I was in fact here. VDOT tells me I'm supposed to turn around, I of course don't care. I also don't care that I'm running on the cheapest all-season tires I could get new.    HHHHHHHGH. The cheap tires show their true worth.  Truth is, they work just fine when you get a running start.  Crispy noises coming from underneath. Who ever needed a lift anyway?  OH YOU THINK YOU SMART HUH? You think that's gonna stop me?   Listen here motherfucker I'ma show you someth   gently caress, it's too small. that's what she said The city's five miles away, how the hell does it look like I'm in the middle of nowhere?  There's even tracks under the drat thing, how the gently caress?  So what other resources do I have available? I've got a huge Swiss Army knife... but that's even smaller. Hmm.  Oh I know!  my dick is so cold right now So how long is it gonna take til I get a chance to turn around?  Ok seriously this is getting annoying, can I go forward now?  Bout time.  Oh, what have we here?  ungh!  HNNNNGH! Welp.  Might be easier to try here...  ...but I'm actually not trying to get hellastuck.  i don't know what the gently caress  Back where I started.  On pavement!  Wook! Wedneck twacks!  I was just up there...  And the car still runs.

Spotted at the beach today.  edit: Also saw a Delorean last night. I see an assload of awesome cars around here tbh - saw a late-50's Corvette driving around today, saw some kind of 50's sedan yesterday... It's actually probably not related to the fact that Laguna Seca is about ten minutes away since nobody would drive any of these cars there. There are a few M3's floating around though.

I was busy driving when I saw it but it was done well enough that I figured there'd be a picture of it online. Sure enough. Scroll down, it's the blue Volvo pickup. It had clear lenses on the upper turn signals when I saw it though... and the lower clear lights were turn signals too. I was too busy trying to and pull off from a red light at the same time to notice if it had any backup lights at all.

I vote middle, the back end on the left is too weird and the one on the right looks like it got caught in a garbage disposal, being all cut up like that. The front is clearly Viper, and the back gives me a little Aston vibe.

Y'all do understand what this means, right? The latest and greatest example of bleeding-edge advancement in automotive design is a drat Volvo station wagon. A station wagon is being presented as new, innovative and stylish.  This can only end well. Seriously, this is loving awesome. Now I wanna see what a brand I can afford can come up with.

Fattig posted:I am now going to publicly display my preconceptions. Proper wagons include the Benz E, the BMW 3, and the VW Jacked-up wagons the seller wants you to think are crossovers include the Subaru Outback, the Volvo XC70, and the Audi Allroad. That makes exactly two genuine wagons made by a low-cost brand, and one other low-cost pseudo-wagon. And the V60 won't be low-cost either, it'll start around $32K. Crossovers and SUVs? Dozens of them, from literally every brand that sells cars here, except of course the exotics like Ferrari and whatnot. So yes, we sure as hell are starved for wagons.

Preoptopus posted:Im guessing it helps the front to skim across the top of the sand without getting bogged down. I think the point is that when you've got less than optimal traction and the front wheels aren't gripping, at least they're sort of useful as rudders.
