lazer_chicken posted:You guys shut your dirty whore mouths, I would drive the poo poo out of any Viper, even a '92. I don't think I'll notice the partsbinned air vents and fan knobs when they're obscured from view by billowing clouds of tire smoke. The only death more glorious than oversteering a Viper into a tree is oversteering a 911 into a tree. I'm currently waiting out an auction on a 911 to see if it goes above what I can afford or not.

Parts sharing bugs me too but if the car has any beans, all it has to do is be relatively comfortable and have a transparent windscreen.

Mighty Horse posted:The only reason the Viper existed in the first place was they could put it together with parts they had already and didn't have to spend money they didn't have tooling up for a limited run production car. Why is the parking brake so far away from the driver? That seems like it would be really difficult to reach.

As far as that Ford GT goes? Those are vents from a Ford Anything. I've seen them in Mustangs, F150s, even the Fiesta (I think)

Seriously, that's the problem with modern supercars. Once they decided your car should make you feel comfortable and secure as it tries to kill you, it was only a matter of time before they started building supercars that weren't always trying to kill you

I consider this:  as the ideal aesthetic of a supercar. The GT looks a hell of a lot more like that than the old Viper.

No picture, but I saw a bone-stock CR-V with an "illest" sticker. The driver was a teenage girl.

      The post on Reddit (I'll admit it) says it came into the shop for a clogged fuel filter, and the fuel filter was honest-to-god clogged with Bondo. And also that it is not a joke car, but the guy driving it is absolutely serious. Must be schizophrenic or something.

That thing must weigh as much as two Saturn's with all that bondo in it. I also love that near bondo-colored air freshener hanging from the mirror, at least he didn't bondo that. Also, did he bondo over his entire instrument cluster

What the gently caress? At first I thought it was all bondo and then said nahhh it just got into a wreck and was covered in mud when I saw the interior. Then I looked closer and saw that nope, that's bondo. Why are people so loving crazy?!

I saw an awesome "aftermarket" tailgate in the city yesterday. Complete with authentic painted on badging! (also, gently caress Dodge for dashes that crack when you look at them wrong)

Maybe it's just slowly forming a cocoon and will turn out to be a beautiful butterfly-car when it's done.

I like to imagine it started with an aftermarket body kit that didn't line up so he added a little bit of bondo. The bondo of course didn't flow seamlessly into the body, so he had to add a little more. Then a tiny bit more. Then enough to get to the nearest joint in the body panels. But then the body panels didn't line up and he already had the bondo out...

The Green colored bondo looks like it might be Evercoat Rage Gold or 3m. That's not the cheap stuff.

I imagine the green stuff is to patch up the cracks that formed in the other bondo after he hit like one bump.

A great sculptor was once asked, "How do you carve an elephant out of a giant bock of marble like that?" He responded "My good sir, the elephant is already there, I just carve away all the parts that aren't an elephant." Note I said Marble. Not Bondo; is that bondo in the trunk????
