This would look awesome with proper fitment of that skirt, flares that came out to the extent that the skirt does, wheels that actually filled out those flares, and an engine that could necessitate such rubber. As is, man, that's awful.

BraveUlysses posted:Well as terrible as they are, wouldn't they be better than the trikes with one wheel up front and two in the back? Those seem to have even fatter fucks on them. Depends on your definition of "better" I suppose. They probably handle a poo poo ton better than your standard trike, but those same standard trikes can also have huge bench seats for land whales instead of having to straddle a more motorcycle-like seat.

rear end in a top hat Bicycle posted:Try putting Unilug wheels on a car. They were made by Cragar. I had them on my Rambler. The wheels had an elongated hole to allow for 5 on 4.5", 4.75" and 5" bolt patterns. You used an off-center washer for the 4.5" and 5" patterns, and a centered washer for 4.75". Thinking back on that part of your thread, I think I'd have to stick the washers to either the wheels or hub in the correct orientation with some fun tack or something. What a terrible idea.

kastein posted:That's the front differential, the rear has a driveshaft. I know this would move into the massive effortpost realm, but if you could take each of those suspension pictures, and break down what's wrong in each of them and why, I'm sure I'm not the only one here who would enjoy the gently caress out of such a post. Anybody who has even a passing knowledge of cars knows that poo poo is clearly un-sat, but it's awesome to see someone who really knows what they're doing tear something awful apart.

kastein, that was amazing, I'm so glad I asked. What I don't get is how someone can be well-versed enough to know what a panhard bar and a 3-link suspension are and how they should function, and then make that, step back and say "yup, job well done, better post this beaut to the internet!" That 2-piece double-butt-welded "double-shear" bracket for the lower control arms is just mindblowing.

General_Failure posted:I hope you clicked the picture in the auction to get access to the original listing and all the other photos. I find ripping and rehosting ebay images a huge pain but here's a couple more. I'd almost like that in a "so over the top it's amazing" kind of way if it weren't for those awful wheels/tires that don't even attempt to fill the wheel wells. Not sure I'd go with giant donk-style rims or a more mud-tire-esque setup, but goddamn, something bigger somehow.

It reminds me of a Langfor Basilisk where my brain can't quite wrap around what it's seeing and is mentally recoiling from its strange non-euclidean form. Seriously though, I could tell I had a migraine coming on from the visual artifacts I get beforehand, and I stared at that thing so long and the artifacts went away and no migraine.  I think I may have to save that image.

Rev. Dr. Moses P. Lester posted:That's why the Tesla interior controls (one huge touchscreen) look like a horrible idea to me and I'm amazed no review has ever mentioned them. Aren't there literally no tactile feedback buttons on the console at all? What are the chances that will work intuitively and reliably for years to come? You'd need the combined UI powers of Google and Apple just to design the software right. e: Not Tesla, this was about the Fisker Karma You're super wrong about the review not mentioning it, but I cannot for the life of me find the video. A guy just rips the thing apart, pointing out over and over how horrible and unusable the UI is for actual driving conditions. I'm fairly sure I found the video in AI somewhere, but I can not dig it up right now. I'll edit it in when/if I find it, but if someone else does, feel free. I'm with you all on the idea of hard buttons for things. Having no tactile feedback/feel for what you're trying to do is just not a thing that needs to take any hold in automotive controls, no matter how the future it is. e: Raluek posted:If you're thinking of the same one I'm thinking of, it was this one for the Fisker Karma and not for the Tesla Model S. That's totally it, and probably why I couldn't find it with "Tesla" in the search string, thanks! Nuevo fucked around with this message at 18:19 on May 24, 2014 |

No wonder I couldn't find it with "Tesla" in the search string. What utter crap. Searching for it wrong though did tell me that just about everybody loves Tesla's implementation of it, even UI designers.

Delivery McGee posted:As far as I know, the failure of the former wasn't because of torque issues (that's why he thinks turbine cars failed, and his is better because it's a turboshaft turning a generator to run electric motors, I'm pretty sure there's a reason that's not common outside emergency backup generators either -- didn't they try it on locomotives once?). I think it's more the "ridiculously loud" and "fuckoff hot exhaust" issues.
