    Unpopular opinion but peak car design is actually just a golf cart.

    Why else does anyone persist with the world’s worst sport. The people yearn for golf carts.

    I’m a mail carrier and we have one of these in our office. I don’t care that it’s ugly, the problem is that it’s way too fucking big. I don’t want to have to park this monstrosity. it’s clearly designed for parcel delivery and nothing else. we needed an actual replacement for the LLV and this is not that

          Round armor is probably better. The problem is manufacturing. You’d have to cast whole sections and repairs would be more difficult. It’s a lot easier to stick flat pieces of armor at an angle.

          I just wish WWI designs would come back with their goofy-ass shit like 12 person tank crews, tricycle towers, and 8 turrets. We will never see the creation of Bolos because physics is a meanie who says “No” to all the cool stuff.

      In Spanish they call it el el camino

      (Not having a go at you for calling it the el camino that’s its name, just poking fun at the auto manufacturers for naming their cars awkwardly, like the pajero)

    It actually is

    Nice low front so you can a full view ahead.

    Tall so you can walk normally in the cab and storage area

    Hopefully has A/C and decent heating

    If it’s made out of cheap tractor parts like the old LLVs then even better

      I’m reminded of a video I watched recently where the youtuber talked about how when hit by an american truck with their big front grill people would get pushed over, or worse under, whereas with more “European” cars they would get scooped up on the hood and it was safer. Something to take into consideration.

      Edit: not just bikes

        The motorcycle (and now boat) channel Fortnine did a video where they did some math to estimate exactly how many more people are dying each year because of giant truck grilles, here.
