Cars that shouldn't exist but do.

52 MPH

it only has sandbags to equal a persons weight

 

After a quick bit of googling I have found three different stories:

1. The crash test was conducted on a chop job vehicle to demonstrate how dangerous badly repaired vehicles were.
   
2. The vehicle was indeed filled with sand and crashed at 62mph. This was done in those extreme situations in order to test the brand new crash test facility.
3. The boot was filled with concrete.

It would seem that the vehicle tested was a 1978 model, the video of the crash test was recorded in 1992. So regardless of if the vehicle was a chop job or not, it already had 14 years to its name. As to which story is true, I have no idea, all the click bait stuff has made it difficult to find the video's original source.

Equally, for if you have seen the old vw transporter crash test where the whole cab gets crushed. That was a test of the vehicle with the cargo bay full. As opposed to standard crash test circumstances. Not to say that the scenario in question is unrealistic though since vans do tend to spend a fair old amount of time hauling stuff

 

I had:
52MPH
300KG of sand
1985 tested in 1995

 

I don't know if anyone has posted this but here we go

The last time I checked pickup trucks were utilitarian not luxury vehicles.

 

Well, Cowboy Cadillacs exist.

 

Hey, that is actually a good idea. The towing and bed capacity of a truck and the amenities of a luxury car.

 

Wait, that's the first gen. Can't expect much from '70s cars.

 

The problem, I'm guessing, with the Blackwood is that even the people who buy the full-on Deluxe Dude Ranch editions tend to think in terms of Chevy/GMC, Ford, Dodge. Ford sells luxed-up versions of the F150 and does alright with it, but as soon as you change the name you lose a lot of people.

That's all pure conjecture, of course, but I really can't think of any better explanation right now.

 

This shouldn't have existed... even in the 90s.

 

Not a bad idea actually. Open-top motoring at a low price and still more powerful than a Honda.

 

I like it too. It's like a miata, but not.

 

Wait until VTEC kicks in.

 

I guess what I'm saying here is that it looks bad, and if you manage to find one of these Metros in a parking lot today, chances are the top is ripped up, and the clear coat is gone. Just the image of the vehicle is wrong to me.

 

how do i delete posts?

And this oh god it does not en

 

1.Lamborghini Veneno
2.Lamborghini Aventador
3.Honda Mobilio (The Crappy Indonesian Version)
4.Toyota Avanza & Daihatsu Xenia
5.1997 & 2017 Priuses
6.Nissan Leaf
7.Toyota Agya & Daihatsu Ayla
8.Nissan Cube

 

I would say all Renaults out there should not exist. They look ugly and they are unreliable.

 

They are no more unreliable than anything else on the road today. This goes for all 3 of the major French car brands.

 

All mechanical solutions are shitty as hell non the less, i've worked on, i can tell.
Goes for all three, but mostly citroen and peugeot.

 

1st generation Honda Insight

 

2016 Mitsubishi Eclipse R/SD.

Why does this car look like a Honda Civic and a Pegassi Zentorno mated with each other...

I'm sorry if I implanted the image of a Honda Civic and a Zentorno getting it on intimately.
