I know the "best video game soundtrack" convo ended already but I'd like to add this to the list: I imagine this is what going mad sounds like.
My guess is that they had one side of the lift on the body and the other on the frame when the body wasn't terribly well attached.
So I'm in the process of designing a successor to the Vector W8 and I had this idea for a powertrain: In the front, two transversely mounted CNG turbojet engines producing 500 hp each. These are used to charge the batteries and the thrust is directed under the chassis to provide downforce. Behind each wheel, an electric motor with driver-adjustable output between 125 and 750 hp each (500-3000 hp total). So powerful it will literally melt the front bumper off the car behind it
mmm, almost as bad throttle response as an earl 80s v8 with two enormous turbos and a powerglide. i like.
The jets don't power the wheels directly, they charge the batteries and provide downforce (and possibly some thrust). At a standstill, some valves open up and direct the thrust upwards out of two vents in the hood instead of under the car - that way, you at least don't liquefy anybody's tires at a red light.
What any person who can literally SPLIT A CAR FROM THE FRAME is not a novice they a just TERRIBLE if they can manage that
Its a rookie mistake, lifting a body on frame vehicle from the pinch welds. Its one of the first things they teach you in tech school. Those who never went to a tech school, never recieved, or paid attention to training can easily make this mistake.
I almost lost a lung from laughing. Thanks for the laugh lmao. I need the funny rating back What you're saying is the dude who did that lifted the SUV from the wrong point?
Body-on-frame vehicles typically only have 4-6 bolts holding the body to the frame. If one of those lets go it's really easy for the rest of them to follow suit.
Huh, and all this time I thought the Gavrils and the Hopper just had ridiculously loose bodies. I mean it's still a bit of a structural integrity concern but good to know.
Yup. Pickup trucks are a little different in that it's 4 bolts for the cab, 4 for the bed. But yeah, Beam is actually fairly accurate to how flimsy it can be sometimes.
