Dean, I thought you of all people would be the first to note its resemblance to the yacht in Max Payne 3! I'm veeery disappointed in you...

Now, as for the map, it looks brilliant! What do you...

Evidently not, as this guy here has done their homework will say:



Apparently there were supposed to be production-ready second generation S10 Blazers in the era that had similar features,...

Speaking of the '80s, I doubt you guys have ever heard of this thing before:

Think that's a Jimmy? Well...

I think I actually drove that in Alan Wake! First vehicle you ever drive.

Yep. This is the place where this is considered a small car:

And a regular-sized SUV is considered "compact". The "Full-size"...

No kidding. Ever ride a motorcycle on the highway? It's usually the people in those things that are the drivers you have to watch out for. It USED to be the big-ass SUVs and minivans that were driven...

Doubly impressive. Looks to be in very fine condition, which is surprising for a 30+ year old car.

Is that a classic Rolls Royce Silver Shadow? Impressive.

Yep, you're definitely right about that. Centurion customs did a lot of interesting things, like this:
...

I liked the Amigo a bit better. Didn't have those weird headlights:

Besides, they came in my color too:
...

Nice truck. My dad has a pickup from that era with some of the same modifications, especially the running boards/wheelwell cladding

Someone's obviously trying to ape Red Mist's car from KickAss.

Agreed on all points. This thing is why I liked it even more when Ed Norton and Brad Pitt smashed one of the '99 Beetles in Fight Club. It was JUST TOO SMILEY. Also really weird when they made a...

Aww, damn. That's horrible. I had that happen to my Saturn, which sucked, though not as much as this, because it was a shit car for twats anyway. Well, good luck with whatever vehicle you get next!

That reminds me of fight club, now that you mention that

Well that's a dickish way of telling people that, isn't it? For fuck's sake, just telling people outright would be nice, rather than painting them as the dicks without them knowing about it.

Yeah, and you might want your suspension tuned to better absorb shock as well.

Doesn't show that for me. I see this instead:

Besides, that's hardly a...

Exactly my point. It isn't something that you'd see on the road, but in a good cyberpunk game or film? Hell the fuck yes.

How the hell does the first one look like an aerostar? Those look like this:

and when customized to be a pickup,...

I kinda like this Kia KV7 van concept. It looks like someone pulled it straight out of Deus Ex: Human Revolution:

speaking of weird chevys from that era:

Well that point is already kinda invalidated by the broken original console, so go make a kickass computer-console thing. You've got all of that space, and you've already removed your original center...

Yeah, it's one of those vehicles that defies conventions enough to the point where it's hard to tell if it's ugly or not. It's not as ugly as it is bizarre. Like it came off of a set for an old...

A column shifter eh? That could open a couple possibilities up, as long as you're okay with making something new with the center console. You'd probably have issues getting to the hatch where your...

That's good to know. The reason I ask about the USB is if you're going to go the impermanent route with the tablet, a USB would be your best bet since many tablets use USB chargers and it'd be simple...

I remember being a little kid and seeing those things, and my only thought was "WTF is that thing? it doesn't even look like it belongs on this planet." They're even weirder on the interior: those...

Like n0cturni and I have said though, it wouldn't be a bad idea to set up a tablet somewhere. Much less demanding, space-consuming, and costly. Plus a tablet is much lighter, so you could have a good...

Okay.. I can see why someone would want something like an entertainment system in their truck, but a full desktop PC? where the hell are you going to have the mouse, keyboard, and monitor? Because a...

I love that thing's design. Nice and sporty, but big enough to haul a few people and all their stuff in and it has a V8 option. I'm actually hoping to get my hands on one in the next few years as a...

All I'm getting are some 503 errors there pal.

EDIT: okay, now I can see them. I like the Royce. I really like those things.

I remember those! I had a hotwheels version of one when I was a kid.

http://www.lexani.com/media/images/rendered/2010_Chevrolet_Tahoe_34_v1.jpg

Now, I love the newer Chevy Tahoes, and I love that color, but OH MY JESUS WHAT THE CHRIST IS THIS? This thing looks way...

Now, I like trucks and SUVs, and one of my favorite ones of all time has to be the second-generation Chevrolet S-10 Blazer. I loved these things to death ever since I first killed the battery in one...

Is that thing running off of the I4 that was only available in pickups at that time? Even if it does you can still do an engine swap, and those thing's engine bays are big enough for a Chevy...

And I have a fetish for that color... hnnnnnngh..

This one, with some modification, looks like it belongs on a death metal album cover or something. What kind of truck is that again?

Been a while since I saw a beamer that looked imposing like that. I like it.

Alright, thanks for the tips. You know if they have a color that resembles GM's Space Blue Metallic? That's the color I'm repainting my truck in and I'd like the panels to be a good match.

Did you repaint those panels yourself? I ask because I'm thinking of doing something similar for my Blazer when I go repaint it.

Dafuq? the front looks like a Suzuki Sidekick, and the back looks like it came off a Honda civic. So in other words, what the hell were they thinking?

I'm pretty sure that by urban Italy's standards, that would be a coach bus. Either way, the thing is uglier than a tumor on an 800-pound man's ass.

EDIT:

Actually, it kinda reminds me of this...

Yeah, pretty much. Though I'm pretty sure they're marketing those vehicles as "A car-shaped music player" or some pretentious bullshit like that now.

The thing is, you can have a practical vehicle without it looking like complete and total bloated ass. The Chevy Suburban, for example. Great-looking truck, and practical as all hell. Same with the...

That reminds me of some of the weirder customizations that I've seen, like this:

Seriously, what the hell? It's a complete...

Agreed, though the newer Caravans(2008+) look better than they used to.

Classic Caprice, or modern one? I like the classic ones, but the modern one looks like a generic GM International design.

EDIT: Derp! missed the "new" before Caprices. I feel dumb now.

I'm well aware, that's why I said "Most", not "All". And in my area, most cops are either using Crown Vics or Chargers, both of which have lineage going back to the '60s as big V8 sedans and coupes.

Especially those ones. They manage to strike that balance between boxy and curvy that many cars fail to these days, and they manage to look great because of it.

Most of our Cop Cars are based off of big V8 vehicles, which are something of an undying trend here. They tried to kill them off in the late '90s and early 2000s, but they stuck because there was...
