Can’t beat this totally 80's Isuzu Gemini masterpiece

I’m on Florianópolis, southern Brazil, land of Gurgel :D

The Motomachine is brilliant. Gurgel’s idea was to give the liberty of a motorcycle with the comfort and safety of a car. They made less than 100 of them, and there are a couple in my city :D

It’s a Brazilian offroader vehicle from Gurgel, designed for the military but sold for civilians as well.

Gurgel X-15, pre-facelift with assymetrical windshield. This thing is ugly as hell but still subzero cool.

Quick question: If five years old laptop batteries, which also are lithium-ion, are completely garbage, how much mileage will those trucks manage to do with a full charge in five years? 30 miles?

Jalops of the world could build the car database, ID’ing cars. Are you aware of citizen science projects like Galaxy Zoo? It’s an web app where they show photos of many different galaxies from Sloan Digital Sky Survey, and ask people to classify that galaxy, answering multiple choice questions like: “does it have…

Luigi’s choice of flavours remind me of something. Mario Kart 8 had so many odd clones like Metal Mario, Pink Gold Peach, Tanooki Mario, etc...

Oh, that explains. Thanks!

Did I read right?

Wait, what about all those urban legends about not using cell phones on gas stations because “electricity generate sparks that can ignite the gas vapours”?

Easy: Just a Google Carboard-y adapter for the NX controller, assuming that the patent drawings showing a full screen controller are real.

There’s actually no official name on those aberrations, although the name Frankenfusca is sometimes used to described those!

More trivia!
