Lol, I misread it the same way at first. They're making a warhams reference with The Warp and how hosed up that thing looks.

Oh goddamnit. :negative:

To me it's a combination of awful packaging and terrible quality control - surely they could implement a test harness for the computers before putting them deep inside a car.

I'm loving all the dipshits in the replies screeching "BUT PRE PRODUCTION".



This is what qualified as a pre-production vehicle 30 years ago. The paint is poo poo, the panel gaps are laughable, and the headlights aren't even complete. It was literally slapped together by a bunch of Mopar guys as fast as possible when they realized that having a Mitsubishi 3000GT Dodge Stealth pace the Indy 500 was going to be a PR nightmare. They trusted it so little that they sent a spare car and a spare drivetrain in case either had problems, and they still had the fleet of Stealths ready to go just in case.

That Viper is still better put together than any of the Cybertruck "release candidates".

You're not wrong.

I know this isn't Automotive Sanity but holy poo poo this seems like a terrible idea. Carrying 2000+ lbs almost entirely above a 1/2 ton pickup seems like a body roll and center of gravity nightmare. I want to be nowhere near this mess on even the gentlest of curves.



Looks like a 3/4 ton so it's not going to instantly poo poo balljoints and tie rod ends everywhere but taking a turn must be terrifying.

Surely the Leper's Colony Reading Experience can suffer one more LLV.

lol blows through a stop sign @ 1:50 minutes in then attempts to drive into a row of cars.

The dude in the driver's seat going on about how good Tesla's approach is while it tries to drive them into oncoming traffic - holy gently caress just admit you backed the wrong horse with your stupid loving yoke-equipped car.

The most aesthetical solution is probably a big boulder on the corner, then a line of light posts along the road. If that doesn't work, dig a 1 foot deep, 2 feet wide ditch along it. When they get stuck only offer to call a recovery service, not pull them out yourself.

You know who they call when they get stuck?



That's an alley that some maps (including Amazon's) still mistakenly call a road. Dipshit in the rental van tried to keep going through, realized they couldn't make it, did a 30-point turn and then got it stuck.

Their plan was for one of them to gun it in the driver's seat while the other hung off the bumper and bounced the rear up and down.

In reverse. Four feet from a block wall.

At that point we called the cops - not because they were on our property or anything (they weren't), but because we wanted a first responder there to give EMS directions if they managed to maim themselves.

That Ferrari is right thread because even if the exterior was green, that is just a terrible shade of green on that interior.

Wrong thread, Bird With Big Dick commits greater atrocities on food every day in the Costco thread.
