    I'm reminded of the movie wild wild west... now i'm going to hide since everyone knows I have seen said movie. Although, who doesn't think Salma Hayek isn't hot...

    I think one theory best sums this up:


    "A car is officially shit if you would not take it for free"


    For example, there are some cars that I would never, even if it meant walking everywhere, buy, but gladly take for free. I fucking hate the Prius. Would I take one for free? 'Course. Its a free fucking car.


    This?


    No thanks.

    If anyone missed it, steampunk is officially dead. Really really dead. In fact, deader than dead.

    @jdoubleh, aberration roulante: That might be the reality you wish was true, but just like Dungeons and Dragons, Goths, and Hipsters, Steampunk has reached a point where it can no longer die.

    @stoke has a JDM banana: Undead seems about right. The soul IS dead, as evidenced here. A steampunk car probably ought to have a steam engine. A steampunk car ought NOT have an Sat-radio antenna; All musical entertainment should be provided by a wax cylinder player and crystal radio. Wooden spoke wheels would probably not be unreasonable (chin-wave to Flathead). Plastic bumpers? Try steel. A little plastic spoiler? Oh, come on, its a steam engine- downforce will never be a factor. A

    Maybe all those spinning counterweights inside the door can offset the wheel and brake imbalances. And also make a delicious Echidna Pot Pie at the same time, a la "Chicken Run"

    That's actually pretty damn cool- who gives a shit if it's impractical.. I think I'm just old enough that I'd immediately fracture my leg if I tried to ride it, though..


    I wonder if some kind of airpump could make the speedometer functional?

    Center diff, with the wheels actually on a drive axle, then use the handle to actuate a braking mechanism on the axle it moves toward, and you could make it functional. Not really very hard. Balloon wheel barrow tires, and it's an all-terrain-legway.


    Is this where I say, "Yo dawg" or something?
