Viggen posted:NEVADA.JPG. I couldn't have staged this any better if I tried. Is painting the top half of your car black a thing? I saw three different cars (separately, in different places) driving around the other day with one half red and the other half black. Couldn't figure it out at all.

I don't mind this one. They've obviously put some effort into making the front end look right, and fitting the wheels to the arches. The whole thing looks kind of like a matchbox car. If the tyres were a bit thicker I could see it become some sort of X5 kind of thing.

 I first noticed the rusty painted wheels and the dumb stickers, but the joy of this is the giant exhaust barely attached to the underside of the car at a weird angle. Driven by two women with identical fake tans, hair extensions and giant sunglasses.

slidebite posted:That's a C3 so more like 79, but yeah. They were pretty much the worst vette so I guess it's better that than anything else. Ha, looks like the advert was a blatant lie on top of everything else. I'm going to have to learn more about American cars if I ever want to own one I guess.

There are dozens of RX-8s for under £1000 in the UK. They tend to mention "start issues".

Powershift posted:You are mistaken. it's basically 2 rods connected to each end of the handlebars, so you pull one back and push the other forward to turn. Yes, but where do you sit to do that? Unless it's an optical illusion the holes seem to be central on the windscreen, so you'd have to be in the middle. Is that central bit a third seat? If so, where are your legs supposed to go? Are the other two seats decorative? If so, what's the point? Oh wait, the windscreen isn't central, is it? So all the rain coming off the passenger side is going straight into the passenger's face?

Apparently it was originally a crazy concept made in memory of Sergio Pininfarina, but some rich people offered them absurd money to build it for real, so they're going to make six. They're going to have to put a windscreen on it though, which sort of ruins the fun.

Linedance posted:That's a Celica and a Tiburon /Coupe, yes. Linedance posted:What am I supposed to be seeing here, other than 3 red cars that look nothing alike and span roughly a decade of design? The first one is a 2007 Coupe (I don't know if these were a thing in America), and the second one is a Ferrari F430, that they were accused of ripping the design from. As I said, I don't really see it myself. The third one is a 2002 Celica, which the Coupe has always reminded me of, although seeing them side by side it's mostly superficial - the general proportions and the shape of the lights. Bonus

I found a fascinating article about why countries drive on the side of the road they do, which is not a sentence I was expecting to type when I woke up this morning. Short answer is after the war, because being different to the British was the in thing, for obvious reasons. Also it turns out the reason in Japan is "because we built their railways".

I think the inside is the worst thing about it. It took a little while to find one that wasn't a render, but here: e: actually no, the worst (best) thing is that it comes with its own quadcopter mounted inside the roof to "scout the road ahead".

You never saw a Cayenne before? They're all over the place in the UK. I have no idea why either, I can only guess it's something like "I want a big 4x4, but I also need to show off more than a Range Rover allows". Oh, right, it's a new smaller one. Meh. InitialDave posted:My friends are looking for an SUV-type thing under the "now we have a kid" justification, but their logic is based largely on her having a bad back from being rear-ended by a trucker (car crash, not buttsex), and the higher seating makes it easier to get said offspring in and out. Skoda Yeti? Nissan Qashqai? Mazda CX5? Thread appropriate comedy option:
