I  saw my first TESLA TRUCK a few days ago, looks like someone had a few sheets of stainless steel and welded it together in their backyard.

Tesla Cybertruck

I have seen a couple around here too. Looks like a high speed stainless steel trash dumpster.

I wonder what pulls more amps. The motor that drives the rear wheels at 70mph, or the one that swinges that 3 ft long wiper blade?

I'm guessing this started out as a 1937 Ford, but I can't be sure. Whatever it is, it looks like it got left out in the sun too long and melted a little.

A Triumph with a continental kit?

I can't decide about the grill -- one look and  I hate it, the next, it's kind of interesting.

It make sense to have running boards too narrow to be running boards?

All of those head lamps and horns cannot possibly work with a Lucas electrical system.  :biggrin:

Terrible choice in two-tone colors.

Is that a road map wedged in by the rear window?

It's a Triumph Dolomite. Yeah. Strange place to keep a map. Notice the slit on the side for the semaphore turn signal?

Other than the poor color choice, that automobile has some promise, but the styling is just missing the mark.

It looks somewhat like a bloated MG TD and the rear deck doesn't need a rectangular bulge just to attach a license plate.

Wire wheels might improve it.

MG and Triumph and later, Lotus, literally defined the British roadster with some very nice cars.

A trailer hitch is a must have accessory for any sports car.

Did they graft a Lotus Europa roof line to make that?

The 928 wasn't my favorite Porsche, but that is just blasphemy.

The rear visibility in that thing must be a nightmare.

They did need someplace to put the radio antenna.

It would be interesting to see what Shooting Brake would do with a 928.

That ain't even close.

Not bad.

I bought this for my son. It was cheap. Salvage title. Well repaired. High miles. It got him through college and his first couple years of marriage. He graduated and got a good job. He is about to buy a three year old Subaru. I might be getting the Mazda back because no one will take it in trade.

I had the thought of driving it back and forth to work saving wear and tear on my truck.

I don’t think I can bring myself to drive it. I work at a gun range. I can’t drive a Soccer Mommy Mobile.
