To me “zero fucks given” means you only do what’s necessary to keep it functional, with no regard to aesthetics or what other people think.

My state has this, anything over 0.15 is charged as an “Aggravated DUI”. Mandatory in patient rehab, and 2 months of full time community service are the requirements on top of the standard ones for DUI.

Straight back seems open, and less damaging to the mechanical bits.

New rearview mirrors versus possibly bending several items in the suspension that will never be 100% straight again?

I wonder what the thought process was in yanking it sideways via the wheels like that? They even joke it’s going to need an alignment after that, they knew it was a bad way to go.

Do they open automatically when they sense your hand, or do you have to click this piece?

For the love of all things holy, can we have a single new car released without almost every single commenter saying “Looks just like X car + Y car!!!”

I know it’s wood, but for a 1:1 “replica” the lines are really bad, from that shot of the front I’d be hard pressed to tell it was supposedly an E Type.

The Corvette video is still just so damn satisfying to watch.

OMG, Jimmy540i.com.

Because individuals modifying their own vehicles is at all equivalent to an entire manufacturer lying and covering up fraudulent data.

I understand that as well, but if it’s wider, rather than narrower where ever its COG happens to be, it’s going to be more stable. And wouldn’t this shape inherently put the COG much lower than in a V-hull?

I understand that, but basic physics still apply. An object that’s wider at its base than at its top is going to be more stable than something narrower at the base than the top, all other factors being equal. Not one complaint I’ve read seems to address that.

The articles linked to in the story seem to say the side-to-side (starboard to port) instability is what’s of concern here, and none of them can seem to explain clearly why something that’s wider at the bottom than the top is more likely to tip than something that’s narrower at the bottom.

I didn’t mean the Zumwall was narrow, I meant how is a traditional V-hulled ship allegedly more stable than this, something that’s wider at the bottom than the top. To my uneducated eye this looks more, not less, stable than a traditional hull.

I’m admittedly no expert in ship design, but why do people think a ship with a narrower traditional V-hull is going to be more stable than a ship that’s wider at the bottom? Seems counter-intuitive to me.

This is why you should never sell a car to a family/friend. They will almost always expect a lifetime warranty, or at the very least they will let you know every single time something goes wrong with it, until the end of time.

“Most of the “lawsuits” I have heard about were threatened, but never filed.”

Proportions.
