Just what, not why:

At least one of those inclinometers is incorrect.

ETA: Maybe because the suspension lets the bus lean farther than the rack tilts?

Exactly, the top of the bus is leaning more than the bottom ramp.

I guess my riding mower is more stable than it feels sometimes.

Don't bet on it Jim, riding mowers like to lull you into a sense of security then flip you like a coin. ;)

A guy got killed by his mower here a year or two ago.

He leaned over to pick up a piece of paper in the yard, mower went over, dude broke his neck.

Some people shouldn't be allowed out of their yard. :facepalm:

The limos are just ridiculous.

That second pic is sacrilege.

The red limo is lame but that white limo is SO many kinds of stupid. How the hell do you make a turn in that monstrosity?
😦

A what!?...

That was one well-massaged flattie to even approach stock 396 numbers...

I know flatties can be made to go, but 3.5 to 60 in a 3000 pound car...well-massaged.

I bought a theft-recovery one time. 84 S-10 Blazer.

That guy had been racing flatheads for many years and knew all the tricks.

Thunderstang...

That is not hideous.

Kinda like.

This wonderful designs make me so giddy I could just shit. :rolleyes:

A twin-turbo'd Ford GT (street legal) just hit 300.4mph in the standing mile.

The same-o, same-o white car profiles remind me of the Sunday comic features such as "which of the pictures is slightly different."
I still play those, BTW.

Why not, they're fun, you can do them as fast or slow as you want, and they take your mind off the zombies in the streets. :thumb:

I've been driving my current car since April of last year and I still have a bitch of a time finding it in the parking lot. The old one was red, this one is silver. :( I'm this close to paying for a custom paint job.

If you want a big-ass martini after work, you're gonna need a big-ass mixer.

Just set off the alarm with the button on the remote and follow the sound.
Doesn't work well when several people are doing it. :haha:

A few years back, silverfish (no, spell check, silverish, not silverfish) Hondas were the most common call for locksmiths. They had to take care of keys broken off in someone else's door.

We have one of those silver Hondas. I don't care for the silver, but it hides dirt well.

Last summer I walked up, opened the door and fully sat inside someone else's car.

It was unlocked because there was a teenage girl sitting in the back seat. Her pointed "Umm..." was the first inkling I had that something was wrong.

Popdigr and I did that at a pawn shop once. Opened the unlocked door and we both were inside the 2-door Mitsubishi Isuzu Trooper II. It wasn't until we started to shut the doors, and the door pulls weren't in the right place, that we realized our mistake. They were identical except...

Our Trooper was a four-door.

That two-door was a fairly rare bird, I know now...

Just watched a Leno's Garage featuring the vehicle in post #2298 (above). The builder has been featured on the show before.

I've seen several videos on the bus/van/whatever you call it. It's a clever project but not good for robbing liquor stores. :lol:

I wonder what the numbers are now?

Spoiler alert, they're probably still numbers.

This Day In Automotive History
 

On this day in 1927 the Sunbeam 1000 HP

Attachment 66984

broke the land speed record by going 203.79 mph at Daytona Beach, FL.

The 1st non-American car to make a record run at Daytona Beach, and the 1st car to surpass 200 mph.

200mph...1927.

Let that sink in for moment...:3_eyes:

This crazy thing was parked outside the liquor store I frequent a few months ago. Bought a bottle, but it turned out that I liked the truck more than I liked the whiskey (I'm not much of a scotch drinker).

That is a beautiful piece of machinery. WANT.

Was it just me or did that guy look high as a kite?

Bullshit, everybody knows Sunbeams travel at 186,000 miles per second.:rolleyes:

In a vacuum.

I am not sure how to use the long limos pic to add this.
Maybe some help will help.

OK Jim, a centiwoof...

Not a millipaw?

Octopup. :)

7 legs, Heptapup.

That Decoliner reminds me of this REO Speedwagon tanker.

If you haven't eaten recently, get an eyeful of this, this--thing-- from Toyota. It is a Yaris pick-up that Toyota 'Shopped up. Thank God it ain't real, I'm not sure I could stand it in the real world.

Hyundai is getting into the li'l truck thing, too. I reckon this one is a living, breathing beast, although in concept vehicle form. They call it the Santa Cruz. Not the ugliest thing I've ever seen. I might could drive this one.

Camaro called, wants his headlights back.

They think we're all about to drive hatchbacks again?

You misspelled "still".

Ain't this a beaut?

I wonder if they are following the path of the Subaru Brat, where import duty on cars was high and low on trucks?

Fancy radiator cap, and a make believe bumper...

Rambler Cross Country...

Beepbeep, beepbeep

His horn went

Beepbeepbeep

Wondering about the 'hard-top' designation...

Is that because there's no B-pillar? Is it cuz o' the sedan/coupe thing? No window frames?

Linda's bitch's car, with two Toronado axles.

That right there is a picture of the four hardest working CV joints at the track!

The owners manual (online if you don't have one) tells you exactly where to place the jack. It's becoming more and more critical...

Expensive screw up.
Do you suppose it was the owner or the "mechanic" who did that?
Or is it ultimately the manufacturer at fault?

Not the manufacturer, been a long time since you could jack on the rocker panels of any car, never on European cars that I know of. It appears to be a garage or tire dealer.
Looks like the damage is done so the guy is coming out with the wheel so they can get the jack out of there.
Cars not only have specific jacking spots there are designated spots to attach tie downs on a rollback or trailer, plus points to attach the winch to pull them onto a rollback/trailer.

Wonder how long it held before collapsing?
Wonder if anyone had cause to be underneath the car while it was jacked up?
*shudder*

Nobody underneath, jacked up to take a wheel off, but good question. Did he think the damage is done so keep going, or did it collapse with in delayed reaction?

Maybe he was hoping it would melt...
