I also love how it's "exit and re-enter the vehicle" because of course ol' Musky is too high tech for antiquated tech like power buttons, so if your stainless steel dumpster shits the bed on the highway in a rainstorm you're stuck getting out in the pouring rain on the shoulder to turn it off and on again

Or does it include a weight sensor in the seat so you actually have to get out?

I just assumed it was a "key fob in the cabin" situation, but if opening the door causes it to hard power off that's even funnier!

Spotted this on Jalopnik earlier today, a Dodge Super8 Hemi concept from 2001. It looks like elements of 6 different cars smashed together, and the proportions on everything are so far off it's become unsettling. I hate almost* everything about it. *suicide doors are always worth 1 cool point Enos Cabell fucked around with this message at 20:17 on Apr 4, 2024 |

Also, Nissan apparently made a "Hardbody Edition" version of the Frontier. Tiny bed, loving gigantic next to its namesake, and also it starts at $45,000 lol.

The lil bird in the commercial is named ziggy.

My parents have the Opel wagon version of it sitting in the driveway  (not my photo) It's not a 5-series but not terrible car stuff imo. Would be better if it wasn't a 4-speed auto. It's hasn't ran in a year though as my parent's didn't have time or money to deal with it but they're out for a while so I might try to get it running again after I deal with the Miata and Fit.

As much as I love tin can Civics I would definitely have that poo poo fully reinforced if I was doing any racing with it... You can see it has a cage but yikes.

Nitrox posted:Guys you can just buy sandpaper and a spray can of clear coat specifically designed for the task. All that cheaper than the kit, and it will last you a decade I was actually just looking for the clear coat, but the whole Cerakote kit was as cheap or cheaper, and had good reviews. Love the whole turbine intake/reinforcing ribs thing going on with various elements like the trans tunnel, speaker grilles, and door panels. Olympic Mathlete posted:As much as I love tin can Civics I would definitely have that poo poo fully reinforced if I was doing any racing with it... You can see it has a cage but yikes. The car *really* shouldn't have just broken in half like that at that speed. I'd say the chassis was compromised in some way, and yeah, the cage was not properly tied in. Scratch Monkey posted:He had a cage but didn’t wear a seatbelt? Given how easily the chassis split, I'd imaging the seat belt mount just disappeared as well.
