It totally does... But I kind of want it anyway

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago

It’s actually a really impressive bit of engineering and craft. Making the doors work around the back wheel wells because of the extreme chassis shortening is difficult work.

Also the fuel tank, drive shaft, exhaust, brake lines, and wiring all had to be modified to work too. Even the parking brake would have had to be changed to keep working.

If this were real, it might actually be a lot of fun, kinda reminds me of an obese Suzuki Samurai lol

Every time I saw one of those I wanted to put a penny in the back to make it do a wheelie.

I've seen a couple people with those Smart Fortwos driving around with a big turn key sticking out the back as a joke.

The ones painted like the yellow and orange toy cars make me unreasonably happy.

I would unironically love to drive something like that. Yes, I see the many ridiculous things about it. Don't care!

Haha, is that a tiny winch in there? I love it!

I don't know what that means, but I'm upvoting it because I feel like I should!

I had no idea what those were called, thank you! 🙂

Bet that would be fun to take off road. The dimensions are similar to a jeep.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I was thinking it is probably a Jeep frame.

I imagine that more trucks would look like this if they were actually used the way certain people claim.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

You mean, as an emotional support vehicle?

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It actually looks kinda cool...

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

Yeah, its like someone tried to convert a Toyota pickup into a 2-door jeep.

I'm actually really down with this concept.

Man, I want to learn how to make cars like that with a welding torch and a good set of tools.

You think the OP image is AI? How do you figure? (Or maybe my brain just put too much emphasas on the word "without" and you aren't saying the OP image is AI.)

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

I wasn't implying the image was made with AI. I was telling people they can learn to do this without using AI. I assume this image was made with photoshop, but people who had never seen these before would probably assume it's AI.

If you stick a penny in the back will it do a wheelie, too?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Glad to know I’m not the only old-ass person here who thinks the same thing.

All of the poor front visibility with none of the "I actually need a truck" use cases

It looks great! Don't know why that ahole is making that face.

He doesn't understand that some men don't need their vehicle size to compensate for their tiny manhood (and I don't mean penis). Real men have fun and don't give a fuck, because they fuck. Like what you like with enthusiasm. Don't hurt other people or put down their joy. Support your fellows and sheilas. Cook an excellent meal. Mend your clothes. Be nuturing. Be kind. Don't be toxic. Be a fuckin' man. Or woman. Or whatever. I don't care. Be you. Be excellent to each other. Sorry, rant over.

It’s not a look of disgust. It’s the face of desire, of yearning.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

That's Jack from Lost. Totally not related to the meme, idk why they used this image lol. I believe this is the episode where he becomes a drunk and tries to convince everyone that they need to go back to the island

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

You say that like it's a bad thing

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Anybody who liked toy trucks would love that weird thing in the op.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Did any of you had the HotWheels ones that had magnets and could climb the door of your fridge?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Nah but my step-dad had a belt that made the Indiana Jones whip noise.

In what universe would that be?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Where's that bottom image from? I can't place it, but if I was a betting man I'd say that's from the flash-forward in the finale of the penultimate season of LOST, when the doctor is back in the real world, popping pills and swigging Jack Daniels.

It's a taquito.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

I used to know someone who drove one almost like this. It was a RAV4 though. He was a swole short stack with bouncy blond curls who was always laughing and flirting and the car fit his personality to a T.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah but look at it go… almost in a straight line

It’s kinda cute. I wouldn’t buy it, but I’d happily borrow it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

I believe all this is happening for a reason, Jack.
