Cars on your want list?

[DEADPOOL]

WTF is it?

Tesla CyberTruck. All wheel drive all electric. 0-60 2 and a bit seconds. Main thing is 304 stainless steel exoskeleton chassis. Bullet proof glass because why not. Doesn't really matter what it looks like, it's a truck.

The panels are virtually indestructible and even if they do pick up damage, easy to replace. The cheapest version is virtually the cheapest model in the range.

Sadly, they have six hundred thousand pre-orders so no chance of getting one for a couple of years. they're still finishing of the dedicated factory (giga-factory). Raw material goes in one end, trucks roll out the other. It is one dirty great big production line.

Elon has a habit of going large. His battery production line (giga-factory) takes raw materials in one end (chemicals, metallic ores) and fires out 18650 batteries the other end at a rate not dissimilar to a Thompson machine gun.

It is the future though they don't all have to look this ugly.

[Mr. Dazzle]

I love the Cybertruck. Yes it looks mad, but why the fuck not?

[Mr. Dazzle]

It will mainly be remembered for the terrible demo to show how strong the glass is, it shattered at the first attempt.

Solid steel ball thrown into the window....

Faired somewhat better than most windows would. Best hope you never have to leave via the window after an accident.

[Mussels]

I now have a strong desire for the Tesla pickup. If I'm going to get an eco friendly car I want the most un-eco friendly one possible.

[Le_Fromage_Grande]

Why does a pickup truck need armoured glass, a big load area that's easy to use would be more use.

If it's to replace the trusty Hilux as the middle eastern militia attack truck of choice, then bullet proof glass would be a good option.

If I couldnt launch a metal ball a shitload faster than that wet blanket I'd be most embarassed.
So I'm not right sure about the bullet proof bit. Not sure their definition of bullets.

Ne'er do well scroats use stones barely bigger than grit to smash car side windows. The techno kids use a sprung auto centrepunch.

[Mr. Dazzle]

That gif is slow mo I think, look how the ball falls at the end.

[Horse]

Special secret anti-gravity steel from the space program, innit.

He still throws like a gurl.

Off with the underpants, out with the balls of steel.

[Potter]

You don't look at the mantlepiece when you're stoking the fire.

That's a tough look to pull off unless you're Metal Mickey, you'd be noticed for all the wrong reasons.

Citrien tried it with the Karin.

It just needs the right watch

[Potter]

It just needs the right watch

I don't have anything remotely ugly enough to match that and I think you'd need more than a watch to look good.

That car is the equivalent of getting a face tattoo, you're basically telling the whole world that you look a twat on purpose and you don't care.

I may now have to retract my yearning for a 911 - mate of mine has just been presented with a near £15k bill for work on his 1999 model 996!
I will caveat that as I was after an air cooled model but still.....

[Mr. Dazzle]

996s have a bit of a reputation as the 'slump' in the 911 range due to the number of issues on them. My old boss ended up buying a new 991 shape cause he could not be arsed with the upkeep on his 996.

Interestingly, you can fit an LS3 V8 to them, the V8 is lighter and smaller than the Porsche flat 6 too!

Yep, apparently the loom for the 'vario' system has burnt up and its engine out to fix plus some other service items its needs doing.
Wouldn't be surprised if he sells it once done!

But the it isn't a 911 surely?
The 996s weer ugly, IMS issues - and hence cheap ... 10 years ago you could pick a low mileage one up for sub 17K
For some reason that is no longer the case
