I love the way it looks, but it sure doesn't look comfortable.

!!!!

forget the cowbell, that needs more wheelie bar, and lots of it, stat!

Is that an inline twelve (!), or a V-24?

I want that couch.

The bright red plastic ear muffs kind of take away from all the detail that went into the rest of it. If the point is hearing protection, I bet earplugs would offer enough protection. And if those are for communication, they could have gone with something like these retro WWII style headsets.

Sure, red plastic ear muffs are very practical, and I'm a sucker for practical, but nothing else in that picture is practical, so they seem out of place.

Looks like fun though.

Now, what's impractical about a spare tire-mounted rear view mirror?:eyebrow:

This has me drooling. Practically.

Rendering of what an El Camino, built on GM's new frame, shared with the newest Camaro, CTS, etc., might look like...

That's a bench, this is a couch. :haha:

... a tuck and roll couch ...

Okay then, I want the bench and the couch.

Then you'll want a love seat to go with them. ;)

Very cool couch/love seat.

It even looks comfortable!

...and Europe?!

Wonder what year that was, because in 1930, after having this picture taken with Vice-President Curtis, this thing got the driver arrested.

From TheOldMotor

Arrested for an equipment violation...Man, they were strict.

I can see them being unhappy with the visibility issue but he was originally busted for using an automobile for advertising, and that blows my mind. :shock:

.

I love it! What a beautifully ridiculous feat of engineering. I want to see it in action. With dual wheels on each corner, does that mean it's all wheel drive? Or is it just for the weight? I'd expect the weak link in propulsion would be the connection between rubber and road. With that much power "under" the hood.

I've heard those Allisons in person. They've been used, in the past for racing and now for vintage, "Thunderboats". I don't think I've ever heard anything louder. The thunder from a nearby lightning strike maybe (probably where the name came from, durrr), but that's just for an instant. These boats were continuously loud, really fucking dangerously harmfully loud. Pure awesome.

Speaking of big engines...

Here a couch, there a couch, everywhere a car couch.

I want to see what the price tag was for that repair.

<15,000 miles, I'm thinking hoping warranty work.

Warranty wouldn't cover something clearly the customer's fault.

BMW X5.

50 thousand dollar car defeated by a five dollar toy.

*snicker*

1957...

It appears Corbin, which is famous for motorcycle seats, has a whole line of couches, recliners and bar stools.

I priced a Corbin seat waaay back for a Suzuki I had.

I almost shit. They're a tad pricey, I'm afraid to see what a couch from them costs.

$$$God damn.$$$

1930 repro Bentley.

I don't care so much for the chopped top look, I prefer the more regal upright original, but the rest looks great.

May not have sold. I may not know how to look it up. It's listed in the lots for auction, but, isn't listed in the results of that auction.

Badass Bike...

Russ Collins built several wild-ass bikes. Most of them multi-engined.

Nice Motor Device
 

1976 Mercedes-Benz Unimog 406 Doppelkabine UTE


Not only is this particular one absolutely cherry, the whole idea of the layout, the brute functionality, the combination of useable space and the lack of unnecessary overhangs appeals strongly to me. There's one similar in my neighborhood, it's not the short bed, four door unit, more like a pickup style with a canvas cover over the bed. It's very cool looking. It looks so functional, so useable. And it looks like I'd fit inside as well! at least I'd like to try. Want.

So an acquaintance takes him truck to Meineke #2504 in Temple Texas to have a catalytic converter replaced.
http://cellar.org/2015/chevrolet.jpg
When he gets it back he can hear an exhaust leak, so he tells his son to take the truck back to Meineke #2504 in Temple Texas.
Meineke #2504 in Temple Texas tell him there's nothing wrong.
He sends his son back to Meineke #2504 in Temple Texas a second time, insisting he can hear a leak.
Again Meineke #2504 in Temple Texas swears there is no leak.

Fed up with Meineke #2504 in Temple Texas, he takes it to a second shop that is not Meineke #2504 in Temple Texas. They put it on the lift and show him this work done by Meineke #2504 in Temple Texas.

Even with all this unnecessary butchery, they still didn't weld the new cat all the way around so it does leak.
The response from Meineke #2504 in Temple Texas so far is, that guy doesn't work here anymore. :mad:

fucking ouch.

With a real HEMI, you get a sticker.

Anybody have a clue what kinda glass-roofed, double-sliding-side-door, stubby-assed teensy van this thing is?

Attachment 51432

Screenshot from "Backstrom", btw.

I saw that episode too! Or part of it. That scene anyway. What a freaky looking "van" that thing is.

My Google-fu says it's the Subaru Sambar Dias II (5th generation Sambar)

Yeah, it's, uh--unique. Like a rolling cubicle.

Thanks, I've let my Google-fu muscles atrophy, lately.

I think it's awesome. I'd love to have one, or one of the pickup truck style kei class trucks. It'd be like a pet.

Hey man, I drove an original Ford Fiesta, and a Yugo, so, I could get by with one of those.

But, it'd have to be painted like the A-Team van, or the Mystery Machine.

All the pictures I could find have it as right hand drive.

I wonder if you can get it with the steering wheel on the left?

Of course, it's so small, it doesn't matter much. Kind of like how a motorcycle having the steering in the middle works just fine.

The engine is in the bumper.

*THAT* would be cool as hell. The Mystery Machine... heh.. I saw Velma at SakuraCon this year, we were both in the costume repair room at the same time. She looked great. I don't see you as Velma though. You're more... Shaggy. :)

Doesn't matter where the steering wheel is, on the playground merry-go-round. http://cellar.org/2015/shades.gif

Per the salesman in the vid Glatt posted:

:lol2::lol2::lol2::lol2::lol2::lol2:

Of course, it has the same amount of space on the outside as every other vehicle, so, that's not a selling point, I guess.:D

Slammed '53 in my neighborhood. Very fucking stylin'.
