Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

Because its better than chrome on ios. Agrees with mobile reddit and mobile forum more. (The UI, not with double posts)

Safari is actually a good browser now once you install a "content blocker"

 

Chrome on ios turned into hot garbage.

Old news, I know

 

Mercedes made a mall crawler version of the E wagon...

Jk, it's pretty off-road capable, but I doubt people would buy an expensive Mercedes, that is made for off-road, to off-road in, anyway.

I was expecting this.. I don't think it'll do well in sales.

Yup. Guess nobody really wants to drop $900.000 on a really really fancy go-kart.

Just grab the cheapest one that looks cool to you. Presuming none have catastrophical issues, they should all be pretty much the same (especially if you plan to water cool).

And it's not even road legal xD

I'd rather spend the 20k KR on the road legal death trap that is the fkart.

Maybe you could get the Fkart. Then i get the 1500cc Valkyrie i posted a few pages back. Take the engine from that. And we'll have something that could keep up with an SR-71

Or we can get a lightly used Hayabusa engine and drop that in, right?

Subjective i know. But i think the valkyrie sounds better

The AMC pacer can go away. Such sad cars.

 

The roadmaster is amazing though. Friend of mine used to have one. And those seats look pretty comfy. But that's not even close.

They are like clouds crossed with pillows and tits. Americans sure know how to be comfortable.

probably would still sell better than the normal wagon.

To be honest. My knowledge of bikes is near non existent, though I'd love to know more about them. 

The AMC Pacer was pretty much a failed Yugo. 

Throw in a bigger engine into the Roadmaster and that would be a sweet barge cruiser*. Il have to take your word for the seats though, since I can only judge by one of your criteria. xD

Here's a few more... interesting cars;

Bikes are pretty simple. If you know cars a lot of the knowledge crosses over. Especially on four stroke bikes.

Don't be rude to the yugo by comparing it to the pacer xD 

They move pretty well with the stock engine. Though not the one you posted. Has to be the LT1. 260bhp and 447nm's can get even two tons moving well. 

I've given up on 260zs. They are overpriced to fuck even in the worst conditions.

I'd rather have that hummer xD 

I definitely want that valiant

I genuinely like the Yugo. It was a Peoples car before the Golf (granted after the beetle). 

Most JDM sports cars that used to be praised for affordable power are either beat to all hell or overpriced by a lot. Which kinda defeats the point of them. 

The valient looks pretty damn nice. I can imagine running moonshine (or brännvin) in it. :P
