Dodge T-Rex. Doing 6 wheeled pickups before Merc knew it was cool

I wasn’t aware that was even possible.

I think what you want is a Harley Davidson, son.

I miss the pneumo tubes at my bank. They ditched them in the mid ‘90s...

Because you (the driver) can’t see them. Hood ornaments trace their history back to the Boyce MotoMeter, which was an early way to measure water temperature.

Remove weight from the rear end of pickup trucks?

I’m guessing they’ll be using more of a “pressed chopped strand” type of CFRP rather than the woven sheets that we think of for “carbon fiber”. More like what’s used in the BMW i3 or Lamborghini’s “Forged Composites” stuff. That should be a lot more repairable and maybe less brittle, even if it doesn’t quite have the…
