But then the tire would be deformed and pushed down, no? Looks like it's just bent in the back.

What's being ignored is that bikes don't weigh jack. I mean, my mountain bike weighs almost nothing, and it's a big beast; if anything hit it, it would just be shunted out of the way. That bike would have to be braced against a cement wall, and immovable, for this to even remotely work, because otherwise it would…

If I were to send a bag of unlabeled liquor to your office, what would the top three choices be?

I'd drive a Vehicross, and I'd drive that one, too.

Body on frame, my boy. The roof doesn't have any structure in it.

Would you like some rock salt and rust flakes, madame?

Ah, but on the bright side, you would still end up with a somewhat useful pickup (between the transmission swaps). The rest rely solely on their drop tops to get sold.

Matt, can we make two #COTD posts, or at least give this guy an honorable mention?

Just so you know, using the term "apologist" immediately makes you look less credible to everybody involved.

Fuzzy Dice.

I'm impressed with the build; it's what I think of when I think of supercars; hairy, squirrely, and a handful at all times, which is perfect.

Not even remotely close. Calling this an Elise is like calling a NASCAR runner an Impala. There's some basic subframe carry-over, that's it. Everything aft of the b-pillar is all new, and a good chunk of the metal in front of it is modified, too.

Sir Wood of Rutledge;

I disagree with you on the ground that we should respect landmarks in a way that will promote their longevity, in order to preserve them for future generations. Lots of amazing things end up getting ruined and destroyed before mankind can properly appreciate them.

We will sacrifice all the Marinas.

Our saints have forsaken us!

Looks like a RWD conversion, too. If they're going to go any faster, the might want to toss some drag bars on it.

I kind of like it. Looks like somebody applied bed liner to all the edges in preparation for an expedition. Admittedly, it needs to be cleaned up at the edges, but I wouldn't kick it out of bed.

Forums tend to do that, yeah, especially seeing as most car guys will instantly make some sort of crude joke towards them. The internet, sadly, does not facilitate gender crossovers as well as it should.

You're besties with a guy who owns a Venom?
