KillHour posted:AIest car or MOST AIest car? The V10 TDI Phaetons are legal for import into canada now, and the 04s which are the legal ones currently are around $5k-$10k. It seems like the best worst idea there is. e: looking at the other engines, it seems V6s are worth more than V8s are worth more than V10 TDIs are worth more than W12s. I'm guessing fuel economy might play a role. e: yeah, woof

At every point from inspiration to design to production, anyone that said "stop" was probably removed from the project. I've always loved that car. But would never want to own one.

"Mullet" as in hairdo, right? quote:This is a very rare car and I believe only around 1000 were made worldwide, it is regarded as one of the first ever Datsun dual cabs made. This is a very early Datsun and seldom seen, they built them well 56 years ago. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/1962-Datsun-U320-1200-Ute/173681115641?hash=item28703381f9:g:iSwAAOSw5wJcC0k~ And this I posted in another thread TwoogBuk LLC posted:

Shai-Hulud posted:Does it come with a loving flare? All the cars I import come with flares, yes. As was said, it is a requirement or at least was. Always one bright red flare. Thief posted:if there was a thread specifically for these i would read every post Like I said in the import thread we're going to scan all the ones we have, seems like it would be a useful thing to do for people now and in the future, always have an archive of manuals. We have the one for the Rugger and the Bongo with similarly cute and goofy characters. We've got a LandCruiser Prado one and a Suzuki Jimny one too but those aren't as fun. Still useful to have.

I've never actually read the owners manual for my Rocky, I wonder if I can find it, or at least it's cutesy like a pinku bento box. The service manual is super dry and booooooring.

Yeah instead of a warning triangle you use the flare, makes sense as in the dark it will give people more of a headsup that someones broken down. My car has the holder but the flares never make the trip over here, I should just find a nice pen torch that will fit the holder haha.

Either that or the previous owner shoved one under the spare tire for shits and giggles. e; it was an old rear end flare when i lit it about 20 years ago. it took forever to light and barely burned.

Same setup as a LEGO engine.  I was never as disillusioned in my life as I was when I found out the two banks in a V-engine weren't symmetrical because the bores didn't line up.

Are there no V8s that use forked conrods like a Harley-Davidson so that the cylinders can be perfectly aligned with one another? Even if there aren't any mass-produced engines with that configuration, I'd be surprised if no one has ever done it with actual motorcycle parts just to say they had. A cruiser with a custom 7.2L "Harley-Davidson" V8 made from four v-twins would probably sell instantly for six figures.

It would actually be a 7.5L if made from modern V-Twin Harley parts or a 7.7 from the high end models. It would sound glorious, make gobs of torque and HP but then eat itself apart after about 5k miles.
