I don’t know why anyone would think that Cadillac would even consider producing a rear mid engine supercar. When they brought out the Cien Concept, people were all “make it, make it, make it” and Cadillac said there was never any intention to put it into production because such a car doesn’t actually fit into…
Some of us know, and have known for a long time, that the Corvette was destined to become a rear mid engine sports/super car... but that’s probably because we know the history of the Corvette, and Zora Arkus-Duntov, known as “The Father of the Corvette”... He tried many times to get GM to switch the Corvette to a rear…
I firmly believe we should have an “abandonware” law... If a company neglects an old game, i.e. no longer sells or supports it, for X number of years, then that game, and its code, become open source, and part of the public domain. If the company is not even interested in making money by selling it to gamers, then it o…
Not surprised the seismic effect was smaller... it was a low velocity explosion... the Pepcon explosion was a high velocity explosion. Low velocity explosions look more devastating and destructive, but for sheer destructive power, they’re nothing compared to high velocity explosions.
Not sure how that one in China slipped my mind... but that was quite a boom.
That’s quite a BLEVE... but I don’t think any BLEVE compares to this... The Pepcon Disaster...
No... I don’t. I’ve yet to see a single Rinspeed creation that I didn’t think was gaudy, or just ugly. I’d take an Aquada over that Rinspeed Splash 33 concept, no contest. And the Squba is just dumb.
Meh, mildly inconvenient at first maybe... but, all you really need to do is sit down in the passenger seat, and then slide into the drivers seat. Unfortunately, you’d never, ever want to drive it on a public road... it’s worth an obscene amount of money. It’s 1 of 2, and the owner of one of them put it up for auction…
That bus is cool and all, but I’ve always wanted the one that was on Top Gear that has built in storage for a sports car... because that’s pimp as fuck... you’re guaranteed to be the coolest guy at the campsite when you unpack the sports car.
Ah, now I get it. Schadenfreude.
Yeah... the three seat, central driving position layout needs to be used more... it’s such a good layout for a sports car, if you ask me.
What about an Aquada? It’s basically the byproduct of a one-nighter between a boat and a Miata... but with a 3 seat layout with a central driving position... so...
I don’t think that’d be a good idea... not sure the plywood wheels would be able to take the lateral stress... I think they’d just snap off, and then things would go really badly after that.

“loose” is the opposite of “tight”.
“Only morons and goofballs care about what kind of engine this or that car has...”
Oh for fuck’s sake... you just said:
They should sell this thing as a kit car... so that we can use them on the road.
Sedans don’t make sense? No... SUVs, for the most part, make no sense anymore. They were created for utilitarian purposes... towing things... hauling workers to and from work sites... off roading... etc... and people buy them to haul their kids, and groceries. People use the damned things as if they’re minivans, or…
