Dream cars

I love chrome!

Just saw my first in person. And I think it will take a very…very long time for me to get used to, if ever! I think it looks like it's based on the drawing of a 5 yr old.

(Taken w/ my phone just an hr ago!)

^ I doubt they deflect all the speed cameras they have around schools where I live.

Station wagons are cool!
1958 Oldsmobile Fiesta, 1956 Chevrolet Nomad, 1957 Pontiac Safari

There's a gaming bar around the corner here and a guy with a rather impressive car collection has this year Safari in green. It's beautiful. He's invited us round to view his collection at home. Haven't done it yet, but maybe some day!!

What is that?

A Tesla Cybertruck.

Saw one recently on a car-carrying tractor trailer. Was surprised by how rippled the sheet-metal sides appeared. Sunshine emphasized all of the little flaws in those shiny, flat surfaces.

1956. Station wagon!

Just don't run it through a car wash:

I read about that the other day.... laughed my butt off!! Have to put the damn car is "Car Wash Mode" or it self-destructs.... and don't wash it in sunlight? Wow.....

And good luck seeing out the back! Has to be one of the stupidest (and ugliest) designs yet.

I am currently driving my dream car that I didn't even know was my dream car until I saw it for the first time. In love with my fully optioned 2014 Camaro 2SS/1RS 6sp manual with 32,000 original miles. 450hp to the rear wheel at the touch of the pedal with all of the comforts of smooth daily driving. Not to mention it handles like it's glued to the ground.

How can you even get to the grocery store with only 450hp at the rear wheels?

 

[txbumper57]

In first gear. it's about the same on torque. The hp doesn't hit 450 until 6000rpm or so but the torque tops out around 4500rpm. I normally drive it around town and on the freeway at or below 3000rpm. It will spin all the way to 7000rpm give or take. It drives and idles smooth as glass but if you need a neck realignment all you have to do is snap the gas pedal. It is definitely some of the best fun you can have with your clothes on!

That's a car I could definitely live with. Well done, TX! I'm envious.

And from the "I wonder how long it would take this to kill you" department at New Atlas:

1,200-horsepower, 250-mph, V12 quad bike seeks world's fastest farmer

It looks like a Lotus in the middle of unscheduled brain surgery, but the Engler V12 is somehow far more absurd. It's the world's fastest quad bike – a 1,200-horsepower pile of evil, rolling malarkey that no sane person should ride in anger.

That's just nuts!!

 

[txbumper57]

That looks like something from the Darwinism awards! Before my shoulder went south I rode and built custom bikes and choppers on the side. Had a customer have me finish his trike with a small block chevy 350 in it. I can tell you from the test drive that it was so awkward and unnatural feeling having to fight inertia in the corners at low speed due to not being able to lean in the turns. Whoever tries to ride this in the corners at any kind of speed will probably wind up advertising what's left of themselves on a road side billboard after they come flying off. Lol

But hey, they'll look cool doing it and that's all that matters nowadays right?

Quote from movie Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man,

1967 Chevy Concours = Chevelle station wagon! I'd drop a 396 cid in that bad boy!

I just saw one of those a few weeks ago! Tinted windows. No woodgrain stripe. Custom wheels.
