Collateral Damage posted:Humvees automatically belong in this thread. Yeah that's what drives my vote more than anything. It looks like a pretty skilled modification but the car is poo poo and not even uniquely poo poo like a Yugo or something more interesting.

Objectively stupid and shameful. madeintaipei posted:In a neighborhood full of high-dollar cars, both new and old, the big commotion in our parking lot recently was the chef from around the corner bringing his pristine 1983 Izusu I-Mark diesel to do laundry. On the way to work this morning, I spotted a mint '00s Mercury Sable wagon(!), in red. Cherry as gently caress. Not my favorite, but I admired the fact that it was in excellent condition, and was being driven in morning traffic. Scratch Monkey posted:I’d like to see someone with a mint Catera. That’s something you don’t see every day No poo poo. Those things disappeared rather quickly. Speleothing posted:Another case of "there's no rule against it because we never thought we'd need to specify this" I would think there IS a rule in the NVMSS (or whatever) that does specify that braking is to be accompanied by higher-intensity red lights AKA brake lights, but I wouldn't be completely flabbergasted if it were not so. It looks like the two lights on the corner fit that specification. The CHMSL in the tailgate, however, should be shot down by the law requiring it. I don't think that's legal, since it is conceivable that the vehicle can be operated with the tailgate down. Also, why isn't the CHMSL a brighter portion of the strip? (I know the answer is Elon is an idiot.) Fornax Disaster posted:STS originally was an acronym for Seville Touring Sedan, so is CTS Catera Touring Sedan? Well, the CTS is the replacement for Catera, so... highly likely. Data Graham posted:Lol thank you for beating me to this Well, an H2 is a stupid truck regardless, so this doesn't really make it any worse. Although... in stock form it's at least a half decent 4x4. Better than the Tahoe it's sort of based on dues to the better approach and departure angles.

The owner and whoever modified that hummer is a oval office/are cunts and should be sterilized. If you're offended by my choice of words give me a probe, I don't give a gently caress.

Darchangel posted:y. I think you're right that it's disallowed, but not for the reason you stated. CFR Title 49 Section 571.108 S5.4 Equipment combinations (a) No high-mounted stop lamp shall be combined with any other lamp or reflective device, other than with a cargo lamp. So it's not allowed because the high mounted centerline stop light is also part of the running light Speleothing fucked around with this message at 21:15 on Oct 30, 2023 |

The wheels and proportions are stupid, but I'm all for anything that brings truck heights out of the stratosphere and shrinks them to fit in standard parking spaces.

Stock Hummers are fine if they are really stock Hummers and not the civilian versions and are being used for things you actually need something like that for. As an urban vehicle, they are classic terrible car stuff.

As does using very high quality starters and alternators. The three level oil pan is a bit more difficult, but since you already have it all apart! The Northstar is pretty decent if you want to do all that yourself, and you can do it all yourself. The 4.1 and 4.5 had no redeeming qualities. It dies, you replace the whole thing. The rest of the car kind of sucked, too
