It looks apocalyptic, but wouldn't last long in an apocalypse.

Simone did a much better job with her Truckla.

Better than my name for it: The Tarditron 3000

Props for keeping the aesthetics

Can never be sure these days, lol

[–] ExtremeDullard@piefed.social 14 points 8 hours ago

That's an improvement.

[–] Wildmimic@anarchist.nexus 6 points 7 hours ago

Respect for the mod itself, but i'd estimate the air resistance of that thing reduces it's range by 20% or so.

Get in Marty we're going to my high school reunion but first I gotta fix a disconnect

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

...since everything is in series and there's a short somewhere!

[–] ZombieCyborgFromOuterSpace@piefed.ca 7 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Well is it a truck or is it not?

[–] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 10 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

The fact that you can't just throw stock pickup accessories on it is its biggest flaw. And that's saying something, because it deliberately locks occupants inside when it catches fire.

Can't sue if you're dead. Taps temple

Looks like something the old Top Gear presenters would build

Tonoight:

  • James trips over a phone cord, "Oh cock!"

  • Hammond says the word 'egalitarian' "Egalitarian."

  • and I hit a man with a shovel. PANG "oof!" "Sorry."

I'm of an age where much fun was had in the back of the Ford version

Did you drive around with your friends catching ghosts?

[–] BlueEther@no.lastname.nz 3 points 5 hours ago

No, but I'm still married to the last girl that I made out with in the back of my mate's FORD FALCON XD? v8

Can't wait to see a camper topper on one.

[–] itsathursday@lemmy.world 8 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Definitely looks like the kind of handy work someone with that truck would do in these trying times. At least you know what you are getting if they pull up and try give you a quote.

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

I know what I've got!

[–] Endymion_Mallorn@kbin.melroy.org 8 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Does it make it an actual truck now, instead of a flaming deathtrap?

[–] PenguinMage@lemmy.world 11 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

A little of both I'd say... more of a truck, still a highly flammable death trap.

[–] Poppa_Mo@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago

Smoker compartment instead of direct to flame.

[–] atropa@piefed.social 2 points 7 hours ago

Prototype X73

[–] rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 hours ago

There's one running around Denver with a ladder rack on it. Didn't look too bad really and the angular body makes it so even my fabrication skills could make a decent looking rack.

[–] nightwatch_admin@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

Back looks like a face desperately crying for help

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

Much better. And you'll get more respect driving it. Still a deathtrap though.

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

Doing truck things! Is that part "bulletproof" too? Lol
