That front end addresses my gripe with the Model 3: they left a spot where a grille should go, then didn’t give it one, resulting in the aforementioned duck face. I like this one, takes cues from Porsche noses, as far as the body line across the front.
Expensive, though.

That makes it looks a lot less like someone’s senior project in college that got the grill deleted than the 3 does out of the box.

What percent of drivers can't remove a wheel? I'd guess 75%? Although you'd think by the time you know what a caliper is and also want to paint it, you'd realize it's not a big deal. Cash issue with buying jack and stands?

The car probably came with a jack and you could do without stands if you like to live dangerously.

A couple of years ago I picked up a project DeLorean from the US. At some point in it's life it went from being cared for with all the usual upgrades of the era, to belonging to someone with some misplaced 2fast2furious tendencies. Other than the cut shocks, knockoff momo wheel and *~racing pedals~* they also... painted the headlights blue?



I thought I had a good handle on (lovely) car culture but I've never seen this before and I don't get it. Is it a thing? He also painted the license plate lights blue too...

Cursed image.

While it was inoperable for quite some time Bus 142 has finally been airlifted out of the Alaskan Stampede Trail. I imagine the locals are happy, as dipshit hikers kept dying trying to reach it.


It would have been nice if it was left undisturbed but I think it’s a good thing it was removed.

Was that the Into the Wild bus?

I'm the terrible stuff in the thread here because I don't understand how a roll cage makes you safer in a race but less safe on the road. I'm not being obtuse, I honestly don't know :(

It’s a bunch of exposed metal that your head can smash into in a collision so if you aren’t wearing a helmet it’s worse than just flailing around in empty space or hitting just an airbag. Most places don’t let you wear a helmet when driving a car on the street.

Worse than that, it's porn or at least porn faces. I'd rather not look any closer if there's anything more than faces.

It’s just getting-hosed anime faces on the angles visible in those photos. I doubt the driver is brave enough to put anything R-rated on the outside of the car.

If it is all stock the ATTESA AWD system will be taking some power from the rear and putting it to the front so as it starts to slide it gets pulled back straight. It appears to be a GTR and has the correct wing, front bumper but I think the wheels are aftermarket. If they want to be the drifto master then they should get an after market controller for the AWD.

If that’s a no poo poo US legal R34 they should quit being dumb with it too.

Combat Theory posted:

The tesla powertrains are actually quite pitiful powertrains for an EV but it's cumbersome to explain the rather boring intricacies of battery thermal management and electro magnetic field stimulation in different electric motors.

To say it simply they made the cheapest drivetrain they could, utilized the properties of electric motors to not give a poo poo when they are over driven (unless you wanna do more than a stop light sprint like the poser you are deep in your heart) and they circumvented 5 years of involved battery technology and development by literally glueing 10000 vape cells together and calling it a traction battery.

You tell me if that sounds like a good drivetrain

bazinga!

Completely agree, he's a car need and he focuses on the goofy kind of poo poo I dig. He can be a touch obnoxious though. When he says "And now it's time for the Doug score" that's the signal to turn the video off.

Anytime someone refers to themselves in the third person is usually about the time to start tuning them out.
