Off-Topic Discussion / Re: Air Powered Engines« on: August 22, 2011, 03:56:38 AM »
I've actually seen compressed air powered engines in car prototypes. It's a nice concept, but air just lacks the strength needed to get a car going. Plus, having highly compressed air tanks on a car is pretty dangerous when you get into an accident.
So there's your relevance with the automotive section. 725

I (and IRW) are perfectly content with our 3.5 litre V8's, they're all we need. Well you didn't really need the extra power much, considering 90% of your driving experience in England is idling in the inevitable traffic jam or maneuvering through cramped cities with archaic street layouts. We like big engines over here because we have these things called highways. They're like your roads, except they're wider than 4 feet across, you go fast on them, and you don't always get stuck in traffic on them. 726

Some fat dude in a 90's V8 GMC truck tried to pass me in the right lane before the two lanes merged, and I wasn't having any of it. I was driving a carload of five people (Around 1000 pounds give or take) in my 4Cyl Nissan Altima: One fat guy can very easily weight as much as the five people in your car, especially if he's american. :> 729

Would be, if smooth in this case didn't equal mushy and bad handling. I took a 90 degree turn today at 30 mph, the thing barely made it around without coming off the road. Not only that, but the suspension clanged and and made some rather scary sounds. Not doing that again. Also, here is the car. ![]() ![]() ![]() 731

Flooring my Moldsmobile is so boring compared to the Camry because the thing is too damn smooth. When I floored my Camry it slammed my head into the seat and made the most ungodly sound (the thing had a massive exhaust leak). Even though it never really went all that fast, it was great fun because the thing sounded like it was going to explode. ![]() Also, getting in a major accident just sucks. 732

This is getting entertaining It's just that I've met too many people that think having any opinion on what they consider simply a form of transport is pointless and retarded. 734

The only thing remotely different is the front, and it doesn't look fast. It doesn't look exciting. It doesn't look fun. What's so special/exciting looking about a bubble on wheels? It's not exotic or streamline looking, it just looks like every other late 90's bubble on the street. Also, how do you know I'm not going to like it? I already told you I like the way it looks, and it's got numbers on par with an Acura Integra from 6 years later. I don't see what's not to like. 736

The styling of the 90's started as boxes and ended as bubbles. Also, I don't see how it looks boring. It stands out from the jap cars and their numerous clones in the 90's IMO. 737
