When you spend all your money on exhaust kits and can't afford an alignment.

[–] Dr_Fetus_Jackson@lemmy.world 76 points 10 months ago (4 children)

This is what's called a "diamond" in the vehicle's unibody frame structure. This car has likely been in a frontend accident that was bad enough to shift one rail back far enough that the entire chassis is out of square in a big way. The tires, bearings, suspension linkages and other parts are wearing way faster and it won't have a long life on the road. Shitty insurance policy, body shops, and ignorant (and broke) buyers keep these sleds on the road. I can almost guarantee that the airbags in that heap are blown and weren't replaced. This shiz shouldn't be allowed on the road.

My guess is the owner knows damn well their vehicle isn't safe, but doesn't have much choice than to drive it.

Must be that freedom car-centric societies apparently offer according to drivers.

[–] grasshopper_mouse@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Thanks for the explanation. I couldn't tell if it was some sort of optical illusion or if their shit was fucked up.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

You're right, that should not be on the road.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

I'm sure it's not allowed, they just haven't been caught yet.

Needs a "safer than a Tesla" bumper sticker

The all-new Subaru Subscript...


(world's lowest car)

Really have to start asking when something is a car or not

Yep, both aren't street legal. Both do have a real person inside "driving" it. Also a youtube search has several other projects tempting the status for world's lowest. 😁

This guy is playing a cheap video game and pressed "a" to strafe

Crab steering, nice!

Had to watch it several times before I realized how it was doing that!

While it is sometimes annoying and you are limited in terms of mods on your vehicles, I must admit I’m really happy that we have the TÜV in Germany when I see stuff like this.

I’m sure this car would not survive a week here before being banned from traffic. And I’m sure the driver would also lose his license.

It’s absolutely not street legal in America either, this asshole just hadn’t been caught yet. As other commenters have mentioned, this vehicle was likely involved in a collision not a cool mod lol

I expected Erwin Wurm.

They just started shooting "Tenet 2." Proof: Look at the last few frames, the wheels of the car are rotating backwards.

[–] caboose2006@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 months ago

Deja vu! I've been in this place before

[–] rapist1@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Pretty sure I've seen this one, it's giving me a strange sense of deja vu.
