... The issue isn’t plastic interiors. It’s the fit and finish of those plastic interiors. But go ahead, keep thinking that the interior of your Cadillac is just the same as a Mercedes.

It’s because people buy them to look cool then realize it just makes them look like a dick:

Sounds like what happened in Madison, WI with the Red Bike Project in 1996. Before GPS and required credit cars they spread a bunch of bright red bikes around the city. I guess they didn’t understand what college students would do with the free bikes. Within 2 years more than half of the bikes were gone, likely…

Buttons/knobs. The steering wheel area is for things that need either constant use or emergency use during driving. Shift levers, audio volume, cruise control, horn, even wipers for a surprise puddle need to be at the ready and easy to hit.

A tandem space sold in Boston’s Back Bay neighborhood for $650K last year.

I would not want to drive more than 50mph in that thing. Look at that lip on the front! It looks like a speedboat. I bet the steering gets light in a stiff breeze.

No.

I can tell you I have put a buyer in what would probably feel like a very sketchy sitiuation.

Anything this super modified is going to get a wrap for every other showing anyway. Might as well stick to white with simple graphics for the build.

I have it. The bottle opener, prybar are nice. The philips end is handy in a pinch but you can’t apply much torque (obvs.)

Haha. That is what you get for liking GM products.

Did you not just see a car hit a wall at a 45 degree angle and then just straighten out with no damage to the corner and no aparent slowing? Forza may have great physics when you drive on the pavement, but the second you leave it it sucks.

It’s a shitty rip-off of GTA Online Cunning Stunts DLC. But with worse physics and terrible damage simulation. 

LR does some great asymmetry:

I found a deal on a set of 4" lug centric spacers! perfect! Now we can mount those 37s with dry rot and drive 2 hours on the highway to get to the best mud hole.

Well there is our answer.

So now your trying to compare solid axles to vehicles with open diffs? Lets keep things fair. This comparison is assuming locked diffs front rear and center. Solid axle is superior for rock crawling only.

It’s a lot easier to get over stuff when you don’t have you tie rod hooked on it.

Solid axle lifts may be “easy”, but easy lifts are dangerous AF. If you are going to lift things correctly, I don’t see how new A-arms, springs, struts, and half shafts is more complicated than new trailing arms, track bars, leafs, springs, etc. 

Obviously we’re not talking about vehicles still using technology borrowed from the model-T David. In modern, built, off-roaders: why would you want a solid axle? I can give a pass to purpose build hill climb/rock crawl buggies, but even then, just go for center articulation if all you want to do is brag about how…
