Perhaps the back wheels of both vehicles are connected together by an overly elaborate series of gears, chains, and shafts. stone soup posted:last time i posted a volvo ute i did it in the wrong thread so heres to hoping this lands in a better spot Extremely dope

I dislike that the "living compartments" are separated. Maybe if you turned the camper section around, connected it with the cabin and put the Suzuki at the rear.

I love the idea of having an all in one touring vehicle. But imagine engineering it so you HAVE to park like a fuckwit to get your daily toot toot runabout out for a tour of the cafes. Just skull drag it like the less insane.

My dream RV has been a converted bus with a glider trailer integrated under the living. That would be such an engineering challenge.

Why not just have a crane to load and unload a little Cappuccino from the top of your RV. Anyway just saw this in PYF: https://i.imgur.com/A6LU7E4.mp4

How can an '83 Coupe DeVille with an HT4100 be cool? Lots of work: https://lateral-g.net/project-chicken-coupe-ls-swapped-1983-cadillac-coupe-deville-hits-hot-rod-power-tour/   (and delete the 4100 - which actually deleted itself before purchase, of course.)  ...and add a pedal:

I am a diehard 3 pedal fan but in an old Cadillac? No sir. I'd rather roll on a loving cloud that does a ridiculously fast 0-60 while I casually stretch out on my velour covered sofa of a seat and it only requires one foot and one pinky finger. (That thing is still sick as gently caress though).

Here's an article about the tear down and inspection of the million mile Tundra. Apparently the tear down was kinda boring as everything on it was in "ok" shape. Like nothing was close to some sort of catastrophic failure or whatever. It was just kinda worn. https://www.motortrend.com/how-to/1...W_sOhkASpN2ge4c

Pile Of Garbage posted:I've seen similar ones on buses. Me, too. Big Euro busses mainly. Here's something that mystifies me: Chevy/GMC vans, everything built upon them, the smaller Isuzu cab overs, and I'm sure other vehicles, have the windshield washers tucked up inside the wiper arm. The spray nozzle squirts out directly under the wiper. This works a charm to clear very large windows in no time at all. Why not just make them all like that? Keeps them from putting holes in the hood or cowl anyways.
