That is not the best.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Kinda like it but I need a side view.

 

[Bo]

I kinda hate it. Let the bodykit burn.

 

[GTboyz]

Gentlemen, gouge your eyes out

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

The Mustang Ranger looks kinda good.

 

[Slash]

The Mustang Ranger looks kinda good.

What the hell are you smoking?

 

[AlvaroF]

The R35 is stupid but I kinda like it

 

[TheCracker]

Wth is that based on?

Deltawing.

Supposedly a Viper or a generic wagon.

I'm pretty sure the 'Viper' bit has nothing to do with a Dodge Viper and everything to do with a BSG Colonial Viper

 

[Youngun]

R34 with the r35 front end is alright but the back end is awful and the door instep is HUGE

 

[CarBastard]

Gentlemen, gouge your eyes out

Firebird racecar? AWESOMESAUCE!

 

[MedigoFlame]

Firebird racecar? AWESOMESAUCE!

Apart from the fact that it's actually a Nissan 180SX with a Firebird's front end...

Also almost all of those are reposts, except the GTI/Cabrio thing.

Edit: My friend won't stop trolling me with more frankensteins...

 

[ildd]

I kinda like that VW
I mean, the car is meh but I like that idea. But only if orange was the original color.

 

[GTboyz]

Firebird racecar? AWESOMESAUCE!

The whole car is a nissan 180sx. I'm a car guy so ive got nothing againts those drift machines, but putting a firebird front end on a japanese is blasphemy, imagine looking at a firebird with a SR20DET sound coming from the exhaust.

The Mustang Ranger looks kinda good.

What ?!

Saw this today.

View attachment 114149 Saw this today.

Was this sent from Australia?

 

[Clark]

I don't know why it alway does this, it's the right way up on my screen.

 

[MatskiMonk]

Was this sent from Australia?

The Birmingham Road in Sutton Coldfield I'm guessing...

I don't know why it alway does this, it's the right way up on my screen.

Are you left handed? The orientation of your device (phone ?) is stored in the image exif data. Some devices/programs read this tag and adjust accordingly, some don't. If you took the photo with your phone the 'wrong way up', it would still look fine on your phone, and in photoshop etc, because they read the orientation tag. Image preview, and obviously web servers etc. don't, they display it as it was recorded - in this case the wrong way up.

.. I could be wrong on that, it's just how I understand it.

 

[ildd]

Matski, I'm left handed and hold my phone with the home button on my right side. When I taking photos the other way around, sometimes the camera doesn't catch it fast enough. I think that's a possibility with some photos​

 

[Clark]

@MatskiMonk You are correct on both counts I deliver to there everyday

"No, your eyes don’t deceive you; that’s a VW Beetle with a jet engine sticking out of its behind. This vehicle is street-legal in California. Its owner, Ron Patrick, put his PhD in mechanical engineering to good use, building this high-powered bug in his garage. Patrick took advantage of the fact that CA laws allow the addition of a secondary engine, so long as the original production motor is left unmodified. On his site, he discusses how law enforcement has been trying to figure out a way to ticket him for years, with no success.

The jet engine is a General Electric model T58-8F. It spins up to 26,000 rpm and is rated for 1350 hp. Top speed and 0-60 times are unknown because, as Patrick says, “I built the car to thrill me, not kill me.” Smart guy."

T-58 that is a old school helicopter turboshaft engine. UH-1, SH-2 and CH-46 used them IIRC.

What ?!

It's actually a 240SX. It's left hand drive and there's a 2.4 sticker on the hood. That and no one in their right mind would put ghetto ass wheels on their car in japan.

 

[MoLiEG]

Ooh, found another replica Veyron. This one apparently used for a movie.

Need for Speed, the Movie. Enough said.

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

So I've been told...

Is it so terrible that I want that engine on a Prius?

[Wiegert]

@D.Kadettdriver TWO external 7" widescreens?

Here meanwhile, just another average unmolested repmobile.

And one of these is less objectionable than the other.

 

[Jet Badger]

Paint that Twingo in colors that are safe for human eye to accomodate, the right wheels and the lights and I'll drive it.
