I believe they were called manned torpedoes and the way they were used was that divers would ride on top of them, attach them to the enemy ship, swim away, and detonate them from a (hopefully) safe distance. Later, these vehicles were slightly redesigned to not use explosives so recreational divers could use them for…

This is everything that I normally hate, and yet... I hate how much I don’t hate this.

Nope. It has an Oldsmobile 350 cubic-inch v8 making a whopping (drumroll) 160 hp and 265 ft-lb of torque. Apparently, these things were actual production cars built by a coachbuilder in Hollywood, I think. They were even sold at Cadillac dealers. It may not be anything even remotely close to fast, but, as they say,…

How ‘bout this? Sure, it’s $500 over budget, but its sheer ridiculousness makes it fun, and who ever said you can’t hoon a land yacht? In the ad, it appears to be in terrific shape and the description says that everything works well and the car is driven regularly. https://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/cto/d/1980-cadillac-…

I like the funky weird styling. I don’t think it looks ugly, just goofy, and that’s fun. If it happens to be fun to drive, that’s just a bonus. Most BMWs made in the last 20 years just look too similar in my opinion. The BMW clown shoe, however, is one of the rare exceptions and therefore I love it. It’s beautiful in…

Yes! Some people build hot rods with a similar mindset to someone who would just buy an old Mustang or Camaro simply because they’ve always wanted one. They don’t feel the need to be super different or original because they just want a generic hot rod, like someone who just wants a generic Camaro. But that doesn’t…

Perhaps the nose could be made longer to fit that stuff. as for air conditioning, if it doesn’t fit, you could just install an HVAC unit in the roof.

If your hair is naturally curly, you should try to grow a ‘fro. ‘Fros are designed to repel hair-shaming with their bounciness and roundness. Grow a ‘fro, bro.

It’s definitely tricky, but It can be done. Volkswagen did it with the type 3 in the ‘60s.

Here is my artist rendering of this theoretical layout:

What I’m suggesting is lay the engine flat so you can have a frunk on top of it. You could put the steering mechanisms in front of or behind the engine depending on whether the engine is lying flat in front of the axle or behind it. Here is my artist rendering of this layout:

Well... there was the Helicron which was front engine front propeller drive with rear steering.

I like the little exposed hinges on the roof of the hatchback. They make it look like the car has little adorable ears or horns. Also, If this method of packaging works for rear-engined cars, how come nobody’s tried this with a front-engine front wheel drive car? Is it just that they’re prioritizing passenger space…

Sometimes people just want to build a project and then once they’ve enjoyed that project for a while, they sell it to make room for the next project they want to do. It doesn’t mean that they don’t like it anymore, they’re just ready for a new project but they need to get rid of one to make room for another.

Well, it is primarily constructed out of carbon fiber.

I love how that last advertisement advertises that the Mini has a door handle. I mean, wow. My car has door handles too. I guess that me and all the people with Canadian Minis are living in the lap of luxury with our glorious door handles.

Wait, you see Meyers Manx clones all the time? Where do you live? I think I’ve seen maybe two Meyers Manx-style dune buggies in my life and only one of them worked.

I always just thought it looked kinda friendly. I like ‘57 Fords. I much prefer them over ‘57 Chevys.

No. It’s a truck for people who don’t feel the need to go off road. And there is nothing wrong with that. It’s better than all the lifted brodozers that never see dirt in their lives, at least.
