Sure, you could hear it 2 miles away but gently caress it, 5-0 wont be able to get that close. Rally cars in general. The closest i can think of was this. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/cocaine-bust-on-fake-dakar-rally-truck/

Trophy trucks are really underutilized by hollywood. They seem to favor ridiculous off road conversions or dune buggy style vehicles.

because (running) trophy trucks are really really expensive and a dune buggy is like 10k

Driving a trophy truck in a deserted post-apocalyptic wasteland is pretty much the stuff of my dreams. I mean, Tacoma is already pretty much a wasteland, so it wouldn't take much.

While my dad was on a wait list to get a slip in Des Moines for his boat, we had to go out of Brown's Point in Tacoma. The place smelled like something that should be called Brown's Point. The only good part was that the Milton Tavern was on the way home.

Humbug posted:I think the quad turbo setup is the new one. There is a video of it idling on their news page. Huh, interesting. They had a 3-turbo setup back in 2011, and the single one was 2014. Kind of cool seeing the car go through various development stages. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVQbVJFVnek Looking at it, seems they only had 3 rotors back then, so 3 turbos then/4 turbos now makes sense? That thing is mental.

So after watching that video and seeing the cab fill with tire smoke when he was warming them up. I was wondering why race cars don't have fans that are aimed outward to help suck the fumes out of the cabin?

If thsi was posted, I missed it, but not only did concept artist Peter Pound do the concept drawings for Mad Max Fury Road, he built huge models of three of the key vehicles.

Here's a slightly larger version of that, for wallpaper use. I'd rehost it, but imgur tends to reduce image quality.
