Cars make joyful sounds

Indeed. From the roar of the engine to the rustle of the wind as you drive, being a car enthusiast and driving is a absolutely tactile experience.

You forgot the tarp(s) and plastic bags. /creepy guy

Thanks Dexter.

I did not start that, just trying to make sure when they get caught, it looks much worse for them.

The shitty Peugeot with the fart can and mismatched front wings certainly didn't. I think it was screaming to be put out of its misery. :lol:

 

[Labcoatguy]

Well, okay, cars can make joyful sounds A straight six topped with a supercharger certainly does

Saw what I thought was a penis sticker on a Mustang. Got closer and it turned out to be a safety pin with a bow.....

Then passed the car, and it had snake eye stickers over the headlights.

Hey lady, maybe putting stickers over your lights, no matter how translucent, isn't a good idea. She also had a huge fluffy feathery steering wheel cover, which I'm sure does wonders for her ability to grip the wheel.

EDIT: Just noticed the purple on the front wheel. What in all name of shitty is that?

Carbage thread is that-a-way...

 

[CrzRsn]

I thought about it, but does it qualify for carbage?

KITT should've been an Aston Martin.

Which one of you lovely people wants to buy this for me? I'll send a postcard of me with it.

I don't know why but I feel these are very cool.

Yup.

 

[prizrak]

Yup.

What do you expect then?

Fucking slow Porsches!

 

[IceBone]

Hmm... that seemed like a very quick lap to begin with, but then the final time... not so much.

Turbo'd 850s are awesome. Period. Especially with a tow hook and a moose on the rear!

Speaking of turbos... it can happen to all of us.

Cars make joyful sounds

What's weird is the starter motor on the wagon sounds almost exactly like Michael Winslow imitating a starter motor. Skip to 4:50.

 

[Spectre]

Yes, that's one of the classic noises of the old direct drive starter type. Almost all American cars were stuck with that thing from the 60s on even though there was a gear reduction alternative; Chrysler being the one exception. Direct drive sucks.

You can hear the exact same noises at the start of some Motorweek retro videos on Youtube.
