Those doors are awful. I want to see Doug DeMuro try to twist himself into that cockpit.

Engine, electronics, drivetrain; if major failures in these areas don’t dissuade you then, yes, go for it.
Electric cars are fast, we know. Anything with 100% torque available at any time is going to beat a conventional ICE vehicle everytime.
You can have steel collars put on the pipes leading into and out of the converter, which will slow down the sawing of said piping significantly. I’ve heard of people being victims of converter theft 3-4 times in a year. Usually they are tall pickups and SUVs. The fact that they jacked up your car and sawed it off…
Don’t worry, potential Dodge Muscle Car buyers; you can still do your sick burnouts in electric cars. It’s just not as loud.
RIP Keith Flint!
“Katchow Mode” apparently has something to do with sarcastically throwing shade on something (someone) else?
This kind of project isn’t really about getting it done as fast as possible; it’s a learning experience for both the creator and the audience. He’s made mistakes and fixed them, explaining in great detail his thought process. Every episode has a lesson for anyone considering this kind of endeavor.
The crows in my neighborhood are very spoiled. I occasionally feed them peanuts, which they fight the squirrels for. You can get a bag of nuts from the discount stores for like $1. Crows will go thru that whole bag in one sitting, eating some and storing the others. Crows also like to gossip so I get two one day, 4…
That Velorex reminds me of Mr. Hulot’s car from “Mr. Hulot’s Holiday.”
I heard once that Discovery considers shows like this “news events,” as in they do not control, condone or influence what is happening in the show, they just show it and promote it. I’m sure that the creators and participants of these “news events” are encouraged to push the envelope for better ratings, but exactly…
Tomica’s “Pocket Cars” had a level of detail that neither Hot Wheels or Matchbox could hope for. Just this Porsche 935 shows how much effort they put into their die casting, painting, transfers, etc. Plus the doors opened!
Sound like they need to add some kind of suspension for the seats to counter-act the vibrations felt thru the ridged chassis, much like a noise-cancelling oscillator cancels out sound vibrations. I mean, in a $1M race car, that shouldn’t be a huge undertaking.
Elon’s odd barrel chest looks like a blob fish.
I do like the blacked out interior. I did a similar thing to my FR-S, replacing the silver painted bits with OEM unpainted pieces. It really tones down the cabin to a more civilized atmosphere.
This has a very “escalator to nowhere” vibe about it.
This all sounds too much like a GTA5 side mission:
You can thank blame Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón for this one, as well as countless others.
As “forward thinking” these auto designs have become, they are completely innocuous. Every new Toyota, Hyundai, Honda, Ford, Chevy, etc. has those razor-thin headlights, melty-shaped taillights and race car-style side vents near the front wheels (practical or not). I mean, look at this Blazer. Does it really look like…
