I think I've won the thread... https://www.facebook.com/youabianpumaautomobiles http://www.puma-automobiles.com/            It's not even funny how bad this thing looks, it's so bad that poo poo like the PT Cruiser looks cool in comparison. The Pontiac Aztek is now just a slightly naff looking car, this thing has moved the goalposts THAT much. The car suffers from 'tiny head', none of the curves make a decent line, the various scoops look like they were added at random... It's just a shitstorm of bad design. The page has multiple fake accounts commenting on the photos, not even well done fake accounts, just ones with 1/2 likes, obviously including this monstrosity. The only good thing I have to say about this car is that the convertible roof looks cool in motion. That's it.

Wait, there are three of these  It should also be noted that well-known purveyor of quality motoring journalism Jalopnik made fun of this thing and were subsequently threatened with a lawsuit.

quote:"The Youabian Puma was conceptualized for those individuals who dare to be different than the ordinary. Those who go a step beyond achieving and dreaming the best that they can be." Holy poo poo this thing is a disaster, it's wider and longer than a HMMWV, and they've somehow managed to only get 500 horsepower out of a 7 litre V-8 e: nowhere does it say how much this monstrosity weighs but we can guess due to quote:Performance: 0-60mph Acceleration in 5.9 seconds Rude Dude With Tude fucked around with this message at 15:51 on Aug 20, 2014 |

Don't forget the most important detail: $1.1 million price tag. You could spend a quarter of that money and get a car that's infinitely better.

All of us plebes have terrible taste, that's why we hate it. It's a car for wealthy individuals  quote:The Youabian Puma’s design was based on feedback from many wealthy individuals around the world who wanted something different and unique. Wealthy individuals who were bored of owning exotic sports cars like Ferrari and Lamborghini. The Puma’s goal is not to be the fastest in the world, but to be the most unique, just like its owners.

Someone parked it in the wrong spot and didn't back it in, so when I was pulling out and tried to both get close enough to the card reader to get out of the garage yet not hit the card reader, I hit the drat card reader anyway. Shaved all the paint off the rear door handle. Woops.

I'm very anti-vandalism in general, cars especially, but threatening to crush someone's skull with a bat is also pretty much never okay. That isn't to say I wouldn't be tempted if I was holding one and caught someone in the act.

Also clearly printing out your intentions (and having them circulate on the internet) is a good way to get prosecuted for first degree/premeditated murder and will make selling any self-defense claims to a jury nearly impossible. e: can you put 8 characters on a custom plate in Illinois?

Turned out to be a comically bad picture but you can still see the primary fail. Guess in remembering 9/11 they forgot how to spell. ("AR" plates are for "america remembers" in Illinois.)

It's definitely character limited, but if I was laying down cash on stupid custom plates I'd at least put effort into coming up with something that didn't look like a typo.

szidev posted:"Getting enough A/C back there? Let me just... oh poo poo, looks like we're in reverse on the interstate." I think it probably has a lockout or something so you can't turn it to reverse while moving forward. I drive a manual but when I was on vacation I was driving an automatic Fiat 500 rental a few weeks ago and had a brain fart and instinctively grabbed the gear shift to upshift while moving about 40mph and ended up pushing the shift lever from D through N and R and all the way up to P. It made a really loud whirring noise and went through all of those gates quite freely but didn't slow me down any. As soon as I heard the noise I pulled it back down into D and remembered I was driving an automatic for the rest of the trip. I think as soon as I went off of D it put me into neutral and locked out reverse and park.

It pisses me off when online vendors don't allow local pickup. Oh, your warehouse with the parts I need in stock are ten miles from me? Won't let me pick them up? Charge me $10 shipping AND tax on a couple of small parts? Time to find another vendor.

I really, really hate those electronic gear selectors. It's way too easy to put them in the wrong gear and on cars made by really awful manufacturers (looking your way, chrysler) it's annoying as poo poo to select to begin with. I don't care if it's all electronic anyway, I don't want to have to have the dexterity of a surgeon to select R on the first try.
