Jeeps are not a go fast vehicle... there's a thing called death wobble.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Death wobble is truly terrifying. Seriously do not let a new driver behind the wheel of anything with a solid front axle.

My 2001 Landcruiser with over 1,000,000 kms on the clock had a solid front axle and never did anything like a death wobble. For that matter, nor did our ‘96 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Maybe the longer wheelbase helped

Mostly happens when bushings are worn out

I'm thinking entirely too hard for a meme about the aerodynamics of a pokemon, but there's no way that a literal Bulbasaur can beat an actual car, right?

[–] [email protected] 44 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Bulbasaur has curves, jeep is a series of boxes. So very possibly bulbasaur wins.

Series of boxes built around the same basic shape as a WWII vehicle, only bigger.

I remember when I learned that jeep Windshields fold down not because it’s a cool lifestyle thing, but because it allows you to stack them on top of each other in the holds of liberty ships… didn’t have to worry about roll bars in ww2 I suppose.

Bulbasaur even has a sweet spoiler for that extra traction.

It's not clear if they properly matched the Reynolds numbers and other similarity parameters to properly make this comparison.

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

Well to win, the jeep would have to be running, so most would be disqualified before the match even starts. If the ref is feeling nice they can allow up to 3 attempts to start the jeep.

What if Bulbasaur was wearing heelys?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

It would be too cool to exist

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

to be fair, the jeep is a car, and not a particularly aerodynamic one, and one that can go much much faster than a pokemon ever could conceive of so.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

For aerodynamics, aren't most cars are facing the wrong way?

The ideal is something like a reverse wedge, if I remember correctly

i'm no fan of jeeps, but no one's buying them for speed

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

I mean, no, but people do still drive them on highways, so the mildest resemblance of fuel efficiency would be nice.

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

Tell that to the people driving the dirt road outside my neighborhood.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

You're understanding how fast that road can be driven by a vehicle made to go fast on dirt roads!

I don't often see Jeep Wranglers, but they're invariably driven by hairdressers and gay bar owners in my country

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

That's pretty weird honestly

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

If you don't mind, what counrtry?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

“Hey, barkeep! Can you make me a Bulbasour neat? Thanks!”

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

you mean to tell me a large vehicle is less aerodynamic than a small animal that doesnt exist?

fascinating.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

Well the shape exists, and I don't think the size matters in aerodynamics? I'm not sure.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Whoa, that low-pressure butt area can such the poop right out of that monster.
