They're fine, maybe you're just blurry. The first one is a Henry J. They're light as hell, especially for the early 50s, so a lot of them were cut up for drag cars.

Raluek posted:i thought the willys coupe was the typical example of this The Henry J was right up there with it, but you see a lot more Willys because a bunch of companies starting making fiberglass bodies and body panels in the sixties and seventies, and eventually new metal body panels. The Henry J not only didn’t sell as well, but mass-produced aftermarket parts didn’t happen to the Kaiser until relatively recently. As a comparison, the Henry J weighs about the same as a Miata.

KakerMix posted:Aztek was never bad, just ugly. Now, every car is ugly and the Aztek is just 'a' car. The baggage it has is for old people like you and I, to younger people they see it and go 'neat, it's red! What's Pontiac?' I would argue the Aztek was bad, as a harbinger of the awful state of the automotive industry now. It wasn't the trend setter for crossovers, but it was definitely a herald of woe.

Ether Frenzy posted:Not cars but I saw this posted on Twitter and it seemed AI enough (and was fully mental when I saw it live 14 years ago.) We were like 20 rows up from the field but every single fan in the stadium ducked, I assume everyone who was outside in Iowa City ducked. It must have been incredible to see from the top of the press box. Yikes! I had a couple of Greek F-16s fly over the top of my accommodation when I was on holiday and they were L O U D. Don’t get much in the way of military aircraft where I usually live so the last thing I heard like that was probably Concorde in like ‘89

Just make sure they're within earshot and you don't even have to be all like "look at that fuckin ugly piece of poo poo holy gently caress its ugly". All you have to do is say to your friend/companion/next person in line "wow, those look even worse in person than they do in pictures".

I've seen two in my small city, or the same one twice two weeks apart and they wrapped it in between sightings.  They both looked awful.

This is more of an Awesome AI car website, but: I posted a picture of some seats my dad has in his kit 34 ford, and within 10 minutes they were identified as the seats from a fiero. I then found this guy, with the greatest 1997 website ever: http://www.mrmikes.com/ And ordered seat covers for my dad for Father's Day. He just shipped them, and then sent me this video for the install. I am just in love with how old school this entire thing has been. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10eBaLJ-Y_A

KakerMix posted:As for awesome, have a 40 series Land Cruiser camper that looks like it's driven all over Europe. Spotted in Germany on the Autobahn. 40s are so cool. There's a bloke around the corner has one on an 80 series chassis and I absolutely lust after it. For my awesome car stuff, here's a brumby I first saw on a subie forum donkeys years ago. A couple of blokes out in the sticks heavily modified it for off road racing with full cage and a worked up ej20t, dry sump and home made suspension. Old mate built it to race in the finke and has apparently run 8 times now.

AFewBricksShy posted:This is more of an Awesome AI car website, but: MrMikes is legit awesome. I’ve mentioned before my buddy with all the Fieros. He’s obviously aware or MrMikes and suggested them when I asked about snagging a couple of his spare seats to see how the fit in my RX-7. I need something low and thin through the backrest to get a little bit more room for my 6’2” self in an ‘80s Japanese sports car, and Fiero seats are about as compact as you can get and still seat an American adult. They’re decent seats to boot. ili posted:For my awesome car stuff, here's a brumby I first saw on a subie forum donkeys years ago.
