Who remembers the Chrysler Turbine car?

[juicedcoupe]

Shelby Cobra 427 S/C. Street legal, production race car.

Not even in the conversation...not about power..it's about cool

I guess that one man's "cool" is another man's "whatever". We all have our own "thing".



But I'll throw this out there. If you were to put both on display at a local shopping center, which would draw more attention. There's your answer.

Agreed. While I think the technology of the turbine car is pretty neat, the car itself, looks-wise, is boring. It looks like any other drab sedan of the day. Now, if you want an interesting looking turbine car, Jay Leno's home built one is a pretty cool looking car.


IMO, cool of another nature is the truck being put out by Edison Motors, a diesel electric tractor built for the extremes of the Canadian oil fields. They're also working on pickup conversions, I think their primary market is to the service truck industry, but truly, anyone who actually needs and uses a pickup as a work/tow vehicle.

If you are what you eat, then Robosaurus is a car.

Screen grabbed the photo
Retyped the upper text
Rebuilt the clouds
Replaced the question mark with an exclamation point
Removed the color from the body
Pulled the brightness down to turn it black
Grabbed the photo you posted on Dec. 29th
Applied the graphics to the new photo
Resized the proportions of each graphic as necessary
Took out the fender vent to fit the Factory Works logo

Goofing around while waiting on dinner.
