Taking reliability out of the equation, what is the least practical car ever to daily drive?
>>15442245
probably a mclaren F1
I think it gets like 7mpg in the real world lol
or maybe a tank
>>15442253
Visibility is way too good and it has a decent amount of storage space. Plus it can seat three.
>>15442253
has 3 seats and enough room for luggage for a weekend? not too bad really.
the mr2 spyder is pretty impractical as for a normal car, but abnormal, maybe a caterham 7? morgan 3 wheeler?
>>15442245
Pretty much any super car that NEEDS fancy doors. Think homologation cars like the Benz CLK GTR.
Or if you live in a small European city a Hummer H-1.
Any car purpose built for drag racing.
Any car purpose built for racing, really.
>>15442245
anything with a small luggage compartment
like when you don't even have a spot to jam your winter coat or even a single bag of groceries
the countach has two compartments and you could use the passenger foot well in a jam
Maybe an articulated bus.
Unless you're a bus driver.
>>15442245
Probably something like this
>>15442245
a supra
i love the car, i cannot fault it in any other way apart from when you try and take it to the shops. my god when you do that, fuck that.
>Try and open door
>Cunt parked too close
>Supra doors automatically open a tiny bit up, so they're always leaning back to automatically close with gravity
>You struggle to squeeze through the tiny gap without hitting anyone's car (i'm very fucking skinny, imagine if i was fat)
>Go get your shopping
>No back seats
>No boot space (the boot closes funny, it's hard to explain. Can't have more than 1 bag)
>Have to slide in at a weird sideways angle.
It's fucking annoying. Car's not built for that though so i won't really complain, i guess it would be less of a problem if we did not have tiny parking spaces here either.
>>15442293
>boot
>>15442253
Was gonna say tank too tbqh
>>15442303
I'm aussie mate, that's what we call it here.
>>15442293
>no back seat
Wat
>>15442245
Peel p50
>>15442292
>has bed and lots of space
>enormous hauling capacity
>relatively fuel efficient
Doesn't sound too bad
>>15442312
Back seats were an option in mk4 supras
Even when they were selected they're tiny and you need the front seats all the way forward to fit in anyone taller than 5ft
>>15442309
Saw a nice Supra yesterday, looked and sounded pretty nice. Its licence plate was something like 1T11TT1.
in parts of Italy and Germany the roads are very narrow for something like a ford gt or a Lamborghini Diabo
>>15442312
yea, the supra may come advertised with back seats, let me just say right now...do not try and bring more than one passenger.
it does not have back seats.
>>15442331
worse than tiny.
my skyline gtr has more fucking room, that's how bad it is.
mind you, none of this fucking matters when you are driving with just 1 mate.
>>15442333
nice, there are some cool as sounding ones out there
>>15442326
>most likely won't have a shed to fit it in
>lots of places have height limits, good luck going into a city
>can't just use any old trailer
>slow as fuck
>can't hold all these gears
It would be such a pain
>>15442340
My dad had a Mk3 supra when I was a kid and even at 10 years old it was a squeeze.
I understand the mk4 is even worse
>>15442331
I've never seen one without back seats.
>>15442353
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvvb__cOfm4
oh yea it's just impossible unless it's a child. the only person able to fit in there comfortably has been my little sister, all my other mates have had to lie cross ways.
i really just consider it a 2 seater car and the back seats are for storing munchies on road trips.
it does that fantastic. you can slot an esky right in, since the seats are like buckets.
>>15442363
it's a joke, because of the above. the seats are impossibly small in the back, but nice and roomy in the front.
>>15442370

What am I looking at here?
>>15442386
machine gun exhaust
>>15442386
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amdlqtEfKdg
flames mate
>>15442390
>>15442395
But what does it mean by antilag?
>>15442331
jaguar e type is sort of bad but worst I have seen is an r31 skyline
back seats pretty much put one between the differential housing and the rear wheel arches
only way it can get worse is with some RR cars like alpine a310 and porsche 930
>>15442253
>3 seats
>usable trunk
Basically a mom car
>>15442414
anti-lag is what creates flames.
so there's two ways of making flames, the first is decatted straight pipe + running slightly rich.
the exhaust will spit tiny amounts of fuel and ignite them towards the end, this is a "true" flame and is completely unpredictable in the sense of size.
So for example, my RB26 at redline will hit limiter and "bounce" and create flames, but also create them as i let the revs drop naturally. I'm not running anti-lag though so it's not predictable, it just randomly does small flames and sometimes does a MASSIVE one that flares up.
Anti-lag is more complicated, here's a link explaining it.
http://rallycars.com/Cars/bangbang.html
Anti-lag promotes flames for the same reason, but it's more artificial and some tuners actually create "flame kits" where there's a little fuel spitter at the end of the exhaust to make flames just for show, they're not actually raw flames travelling up from the engine.

>>15442245
A dedicated built drag car. Can barely turn, hard to drive slowly, stripped out interior, and way too loud.
>>15442245
a motocycle
>can't transport stuff or people

us version only has 1 seat
>38.8 liter engine
>28 tons
>0.5 MPG
>>15442445
Doesn't this create back pressure to spool up the turbo?
t. dumbfuck who doesn't know shit about cars
>>15442261
>mr2 spyder
As someone that drives one everyday I can honestly say it's shit m8, it's not even quick
I want to put a v6 in it
two sportbikes taped together
>>15442253
>tank
>Bad daily drive
Literal TONS of cargo
NEVER slip on anything
CRUSH ANYTHING IN YOUR WAY
Road jammed? That's fine take the FOREST
Room for 5 kitted tankers, so at least one more normal person.
Happen to own a cruise liner? You can tow it.
1000+ BHP
MORE TORQUE THAN YOU WILL EVER NEED
TRACK DRIFTING
Fuck those spikey traps they use to puncture tires
MASSIVE GAS TANK
Who cares if shitty MPG, MASSIVE GAS TANK AND Runs on ANYTHING LIQUID-ish AND FLAMMABLE, alcohol, fuel oil, vegetable oil, anything flammable and liquidish.
Insurance is nothing
If people are afraid of trucks, IMAGINE HOW MUCH RESPECT A TANK GETS
PICK UP CHICKS
CANNON
Tracks wear much slower than tires
ARMORED
>>15442253
yet you drive a mclaren f1, so that makes you very practical to everyone you know or dont know.
ya know?
>>15442245
A Ferrari F50. I'm pretty sure it gets 3 miles to the gallon and I know it doesn't have any sort of trunk space.
>>15443001
iirc some German and French tanks are road legal
they put on rubber tracks and have indicators and all
>>15443071
In Canada, any tank is road legal as long as you register as a exotic vehicle registration and rubber tracks.
Also TECHNICALLY we have no laws against a gun with a bore bigger than 20mm so a 120mm wouldn't have any laws against it.
>you will never roll around in your leopard 2
>>15442245
A Reliant
>>15443096
in Zeeland there is a skoda t55 and rof challenger for sale
the main gun counts as a bolt action fire arm here so needs a licence
id really like a pz2 or pz3 just to mess about with
would be cool to see what sort of power can be had from the old engines with a little modern tech
>>15443132
I wouldn't think it's a good idea to to put too much on those old German motors. Especially anything late war.
Also krauts used gasoline engine.
A tune would be great though, good luck tuning a carburetor. Or replace with a multi barrel carb and you could improve.
t-55 some aren't turboed that would be a first step towards over 1k hp. If you can work on a Corrola, you can work on a t-55. From personal experience, they REALLY are that simple.
Challies are really nice, but not as much room for mods.
>>15442638
They all have 3 seats...
>>15442245
least practical car that anyone can afford is a god damn Miata.
>>15443303
How? It has 2 seats, climate control, reasonable power for its size, a roof, a good bit of trunk space. Plus it's small so it has that euro advantage and being able to squeeze through places. what do you dislike?
I mean i wouldn't like to own a miata, but that's cos i haul shit everywhere and i need more than two seats. And i often need AWD, and such. But a miata is far from the least practical.
>>15443169
a bt5 would be fun also
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6PBttBSLuc#t=23s
>>15442363
>>15443369
The BT5 was made by a guy who wanted to make race cars, not tanks.
It was a death trap. But that suspension was CRAZY.
It could go CRAZY fast for it's weight and such when you took the track off.
>>15443429
the track sections are too long and break easy but that is not hard to fix if you make your own
and it can run without them
>>15443495
It runs better without them.
The track is only good for off road, just use the damn road wheels to go anywhere else.
Also
>rwd
Time to drift.
>>15442665
anti lag makes it so there's pressure even at low rpm to spin the turbo.
it's dangerous though, not for street use.
also, as that guy mentioned anti-lag or flame kits are different to true flames.
true flames like in his car, are when the exhaust is clear and straight (no cat) and so powerful (and thus hot) that when running rich a tiny amount of fuel slips through and bam, ignites in the exhaust from the raw power.
flame kits are literally fuel being pumped in at the end, just to make flames and just for show.
>>15443429
>>15443495
>>15443573
The Christie suspension was originally designed so that the tank would be faster and easier to drive on roads with the tracks off, but were are so few good roads in Russia at the time that they eventually dropped that feature on later tanks like the T-34.
>>15442253
mr.bean used to DD his F1
>>15443661
Yea i know that, but the guy who invented them, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Walter_Christie really didn't care for tanks, he was interested in race cars.
It was just used in tanks because oh this stuff is good onroad.
It was also abondoned because it takes a hell of a lot of internal space with those pistons and springs, better to just have torsion bars, since they take up very little space comparatively. And thus most modern tanks, save for a few have torsion. Same with most in ww2. Torsion is also WAY more reliable, harder to fix but it's like drum brakes where if you shouldn't really have to fix them.
