I would drive the shit out of that car
The good news is: It's free
The bad news is: You have to compile it yourself
Some assembly required
Those fights with the better half over building an IKEA bookshelf will seem like child play after that.
Those headlights look so easy to replace.
I just want a simple car. One without extraneous functions.
My old boss bought a brand new car that was in the shop for two of it's first four weeks. The issue? The capacitive touch sensor that operated the motorised glove box door was activating automatically because it was being confused by dust.
My shitty 15 year old VW's plastic glove box door has a metal latch and had never experienced this bug.
There certainly are places where technology and electronics can improve a car, but replacing one of the most basic, reliable mechanical functions such as a latch is arguably stupid. It's just adding numerous more failure points. It's form over function.
Radio/media and climate controls should not be on a f*ing touch screen either.
Yep, there are many legitimate use-cases for electronics in cars, but THIS is definitely not one of them!
Yeah I got my car 2012 right before you started to see everything in cars become computerized. It's a civic and still going strong.
“i upgraded the engine and one of the wheels stopped working”
Why are you using wheels anyway? Caterpillar tracks are a more modern solution and superior in every way.
I wonder what's the fastest you could go on tracks? Apparently a record was set in 1979 (121.9 km/h, 75 mph) and never broken since as far as i can tell, or at least Guiness doesn't seem to know anything about it.
Fellas, we need a tank, a couple V8 engines, and a case of beer
Your cardan.shaft is out of date, the interface for the wheels changed.
For those who, like me, wanted to know more about the real photo from which this was shopped: it's a 19-year-old Chinese student called Zhu Zhenlin driving his homemade solar car in 2012.
I don't know man. Looks like something I'd buy.
There actually exists an open source community for reverse-engineering EV motors, inverters, battery charging modules, BMS, and everything else necessary to build a DIY car from scrapyard components: https://openinverter.org/wiki/Main_Page
I just want that front plate.
is there a theme to make it look like a tesla though?
Ricing has come full circle.
You joke but I don't want modern cars because of the proprietary software.
I'd drive the shit out of that around town
Great car, the only one I'd consider driving! But would make my own fork with rearview mirrors first.
Please post source code, i want one
well it certainly won't cost eighty fucking thousand dollars
I think Stallman would rather do GNU/Ebike and GNU/PublicTransit
Freedom comes with a price.
"+libre"
Rip lol
Still probably runs better than the stupid ass car I'm stuck with right now lol.
Honestly, if it's cheap enough, I'd definitely buy it
Who's the wizard in the driver's seat
Some say that's the image of God
Stallman
This made me chuckle, thank you, I need it today.
I'd download this!
Looks like a car from CDDA.
I overclocked it and got an extra 4 FPS! Woot!
ngl, would rather drive that than a Tesla
Torvalds Motors
"Not car. Actually, it's GNU/Car." What precedes this is the sound of thousands of glasses being adjusted.
Lol is that Stallman in there?
I wish I could improve my car for free
