Did that guy say he put a V8 in a Tesla? :har::har:

[Platapus]

Fuel tanks in the hubs. Clever. Wish there was a way to automatically transfer it. but a clever idea

[Jimbuna]

It even floats.....I want one.

[Commander Wallace]

Wow. This really is different. With it's short wheel base, I hope it's light enough to pushover when it flips over. :hmmm:

[Platapus]

Cheapest model is selling for about $100,000.

Nice toy if you live on the open Tundra or a bog but it is not a hill climber and at over 8 feet wide it's damn near useless in the woods.

Came within a gnats ass of convincing my wife this would be our next toy.

then i saw that price tag and thought... yeah solid pass

[Platapus]

Only cost you $250.00 for a test drive!

I wonder what new tires cost?

[mapuc]

I think the most important question here is:

Is it worth the money ?

Markus

[Buddahaid]

All depends. Is a BMW worth the money when all you need is transportation? A lot people around where I live are quite willing to spend big money for "The Ultimate Driving Machine" and have absolutely no idea how to use performance. All they want is to spend needlessly for the status of the badge.

That's what i thought :hmmm:
At that price, one could almost build it oneself :D

[Jimbuna]

Back when I was a young teen and too young to drive I remember my father was one of the first in our town to buy a Jaguar XJ6 4.2 litre model and a neighbour asked him "I wouldn't like to have to pay for the petrol and replace the tyres"

My fathers response was "If you have concerns like that then you really can't afford a car like this"

This vehicle is an off-roader and it's there I said is it worth the money.
I guess it run smoothly in forrest and in rocky areas.

Markus

[Buddahaid]

I can tell it's an off road vehicle. My point was worth can be largely an emotional response instead of a practical one.

Actually no it doesn't. Skip to the 5 min mark.

My 20 year old Grizzly could hop up that little rock without a problem.


And at over 8 feet wide it is going to have to stick to the road in the forest.

[Platapus]

I wonder what new tires cost?


For the tires? About $3,000.....each :o


Each rim will set you back just under $2,000 :o:o


Good thing it only has four wheels. :up:



That's $20,000 just for the round things. :nope:

Well then it's not worth the money. Except when it comes to ones neighbours then it may have a certain bragging worth.

But your neighbors would need to be miles away through a swamp....
