On some level I usually like hackjobs, even the bad ones. I can usually see what they were attempting and can appreciate it for what it is. This made me cringe in horror. Actually recoil from the screen. Holy poo poo!

I honestly can't figure out if I like them or not. Like, those 67-72 front ends are so drat handsome, but they look so loving weird smashed onto the modern cab with so much windshield rake. It's like some weird automotive uncanny valley. I don't know.

I still remember the rendered video some guy made to show how many people this setup could move which had cars clipping through pedestrians in order to move some piddly amount of people. https://twitter.com/parismarx/status/1479153917749600257?t=tUFwrZhfH617c5_sD2Js_w&s=19

It was mentioned in one of the articles on the other trucktraption they made. So like, re-skinning a door is not a big deal for any competent body shop. That's easy enough. What's really difficult is believing that there is enough of a market for these panels that someone is producing them. I'm assuming it's all JC Whitney-adjacent, which means those things are probably made out of tinfoil-thickness sheet steel. Motronic fucked around with this message at 21:48 on Jan 6, 2022 |

It was mentioned in one of the articles on the other trucktraption they made. It's from LMC and they claim that it's all 18ga OE quality steel. I've been out of luck trying to ffind some parts for my old dodge so I've been reading up on this supplier as to whether or not the parts are garbage or not, but it seems pretty decent quality. Unlike these frankentrucks.

Motronic posted:The disconnect is that Teslas are not sold as cars, they are lifestyle appliances. It's a completely different market. Teslas are iPhones on wheels, except a smartphone has slightly better build quality than your average Tesla.

MomJeans420 posted:A bartender I was talking to had a breathalyzer installed in his car and said things like using mouthwash before he left the house would set it off, doesn't sound ideal for your average person vs someone who's lost the privilege to drive and is earning it back. Also, having lived with some sorority girls for a year in college of course they had a handheld breathalyzer for fun, but you had to wait 30 mins after drinking to get an accurate reading or else it would read high from the alcohol still in your mouth. If the mandated tech works like that, you could be a 200lb guy who drinks one beer and is completely fine to drive but if you just finished it a min ago you're going to stuck for 30 mins before you can leave. Don't be a doomer, it could also be those ones that shine a light into your skin and read different depending on your race

I tried to figure out what was wrong with it when I saw it, but I was on the phone so I didn't trust my eyes too much I guess the angles on the roofline etc are a bit too modern to mesh perfectly with the rest of the line, but it still looks fine even from the side view, I'll second the wrong thread.

slidebite posted:Don't care for the carbon fibre, but I also think this is pdg pig, not pdg this thing really emphasizes how fat the modern challengers are. section a foot out of the middle of the car to take care of those slab sides, and it could be good you see the classic lines, but then the styling stops as it gets further down and its just stretched out cause theres still another foot of car there that shouldnt be right thread as gently caress
