      I think one of these except more modern with all the advanced necessary features would actually be awesome.

        But we gotta keep the 1920s car design. You csn put a modern battery, and bluetooth, and inputs for auxilery audio devices, and modern stereo syatem, and gps, and all this other stuff…but we gotta keep the old car vibe.

          Without the monocoque, I doubt it can pass modern crash safety tests. Nor is there any safe place to install air bags.

            What “monocoque?” That was made so long ago they were still talking about coachwork!

          Honestly, people love to shit on the PT Cruiser but at least it tried to be a little different - arguably in a cool retro way!

            The PT Cruiser looked amazing.

            I’d be very happy if more manufacturers took similar style risks.

            Buuuut, apparently we get the swasticar cyber truck.

              This is why most cars these days are black, white or grey. “We don’t want something someone WANTS to look at, just something that isn’t offensive to the eyes” (sports cars don’t count here)

        You could probably make one with a bit of time and effort. People in wild west did.

        (Driving it legally in most places would be a different thing.)

            I was scrolling quick so I didn’t notice it was slop until I saw the comment so strangely enough it was actually more useful than I would’ve otherwise initially guessed.

            You’re fucking using it. That’s like getting diabetes by eating shitloads of McDonald’s and blaming McDonald’s for it. Or a bartender blaming Phillip morris for second hand smoke.

              I already don’t eat beef, own an electric car, and don’t have kids. Stop pointing at me as if I’m the problem. You don’t know shit about me, don’t tell me what to do.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That’s it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
