The weathering on that van doesn't even seem real, it's like that "patina" vinyl wrap insufferable scenesters use.

Saw an early 90s Integra the other day that had been fake rusted over the entire body. I could not get my wife to believe me that people did it on purpose.

When we stopped for dinner and I was able to show her, she still thought it was some kind of onion style satire.

I've seen someone do the fake rust thing on a series Land Rover body, which is about the stupidest one I've encountered.

It took me a moment, but they're ally aren't they? I remember seeing one in a scrapyard with the entire chassis rusted into the ground and all the paint weathered off and briefly thought how awesome a slammed landy would be. Then I found pictures where someone had done it and it was just disappointing.

An aluminium alloy called Birmabright specifically, but yes. And all the steel bits between panels are galvanised.

It's the bulkhead, radiator panel, door and bonnet inner frames and door tops that are plain steel (and yes, they all rust as effectively as the chassis).

That night we performed the rite and opened the gate.
Halfway through, I went to fix us both a coke float.
By the time I got back, he'd gone insane.
Plus, he'd left the gate open and there was evil everywhere.

I really want a Tesla and, to me, they are these regal* cars that are generally driven very responsibly on the freeways (most likely due to their adaptive cruise control/lanekeeping, making for a happy, unstressed driver). At least that's the impression I get from them now spending 2 hours a day commuting, and for the past four years on an ambulance driving an average of 225+ miles per day. They are all, like, super well behaved in my mind's eye. So, seeing one do donuts in a parking lot, fairly quickly, is kind of like those Bentley drifting clips from the last season of Top Gear with Jeremy Clarkson. It kind of makes me giddy with excitement.

*I know they have bad fit and finish and a lot of people drive them like douches, as I probably would -- this is just personal experience.


E: I also think silent drifting is something I want to do at least once in my life.

I like how it keeps spinning faster thanks to the independent AWD.
But the first EV to actually have character is going to be what id want to get. Honestly they should use straight cut gears for that VREEEEEEE sound.

Uhh where are you? Suzuki Carrys go for like, 150 bucks all the time. Unless you mean the vans then you better up that price buddy. By some more hundreds of dollars.

The cheapest I've ever seen is $400 for the pickup beds. Of course, that's not including shipping, taxes, etc. Realistic price to get it to Savannah so my uncle can get it registered in the US is around $1700, otherwise I'd have at least 2 kei cars by now

I love how it is one of the most aggressive current racing cars I know, but is based on such a sedate little supermini.

Not sure if its a TIE fighter or pod racer though.
