Some Automotive Fun...

No, that's just the offspring of a Dymaxion car that used thalidomide.

Somebody needs to put it out of its misery.
 
When you can have some automotive fun, a check test on economy and auto-journalism at the same time:

“Used to be back in the day, all the journalists would say, you should build a station wagon with a manual transmission, and I’d be like, come on, man. For you. Yeah, for you and the six other friends of yours that want to buy it,” said the executive [, GM RAM CEO,]. A blunt and valid point, we say.

Drongo (Aust.): meaning (A fool, an idiot, a stupid lass)

A girls weekend away in Queensland came to a crashing end when a woman allegedly struck a pole with her car then returned a roadside breath test more than six times above the legal alcohol limit.

Police allege a Mudgeeraba woman, 50, hit a telegraph pole in her Mazda CX-8 then continued driving before she was stopped by concerned bystanders.

Police found the woman and her damaged car across the road from a police station, and conducted a roadside breath test at Mount Tambourine about 8.30am on Sunday.

In the 1930's German automakers were charged with breaking any speed record they could for the greater glory of the ruling party. In the 1950s someone noticed that no one else had tried to break these records and decided to do something about it.

On this note, the highest speed recorded on a public highway was set in 1938 at, wait for it, 268.9mph..... It wasn't beaten until...

2017... by 9mph
 
Drongo (Aust.): meaning (A fool, an idiot, a stupid fellow)

A man has been stripped of his driver's licence after he was accused of allowing his dog to 'drive' his ute while he sat in the passenger seat.

Several people walking along White Beach at Nubeena, south-east of Hobart, called police at about 9.30am on Saturday after spotting the bizarre sight.

'Witnesses reported that a white Mitsubishi Triton was being driven on the beach, with a dog in the driver's seat and a man in the passenger seat,' a Tasmania Police spokesman said.

DEAD RACE 2000
Where U.S. is now a totalitarian regime, and to pacify the public,
the government sponsors a race where drivers score points by killing pedestrians.
Cult movie carnage, Hilarious, brutal, camp and a sick joyride start to finish.

Absolute proof of reincarnation---my mother, the car:

"Now I'm just going to sit here a minute and look at this map"

You're holding up traffic Ma!

"Well, they are just going to have to be patient. It's as much my road as it is theirs."

All Waymos contain the souls of bluehairs recently passed...

"You never call--you never text...snif'"
 
Heres an interesting one from the golden age of coach built uber delux cars,when you could have any body you liked on your chassis.

Speaking of movie cars I was just reminded of a 1974 australian film titled:
The cars that ate paris [no,not that paris]
Interestingly the producers unsuccessfully attempted to negotiate a us distribution deal with roger corman,who made death race 2000.

I get the feeling I`ve seen this car,or one of his relatives,in another movie,what was it called?.....mad....road fury?,or something like that.;)

The german coach builder rometsch built some very nice looking cars based on the vw beetle platform.
They also built a 4 door version of the bug as a taxi,it reminds me a little of a mini tatra.
I`m surprised VW didnt build these itself as they certainly look ok & a 4 door would be a lot more practical for families.
