Random UnAerodynamic Cars and Trucks Thread

TKX It gets good at 1:40. I like museums.

I see opportunity for lightweight folding 'camper jack'-type legs on the low edges. How much space under the shelf you see at 1:17? Can you stand up there?

Do any of those have soft foldouts like those roof-top tents? That would be better that an external ladder.

This looks like something that I would build!

That sidecar doesn't look so unaerodynamic at all, but I wouldn't expect to see one attached to a tractor...

[Fingie]

well, if you have a sidecar laying around and you need passenger space...

Why do people add comment without content?

This isn't really un-aerodynamic, it's a precursor to those rally car light bars.

Woodlites, Bright Bumper, and a siren as a grille block.

I always thought stretch limos were dumb because you have to crawl the length of them on your hands and knees. But this looks spacious and comfy.

Plus you could have a docking portal on your house.

You're not the only one to think so, but hey, what about those "party" limos? People often get too drunk on them, so they won't be able to stand up for a while anyway

Team spokeswoman Lisa Constable says Lofton will be fitted with a cast that allows him to grip the steering wheel.

Somehow I thought it would be a little smoother down under.

It's interesting that the exhaust merges, bifurcates and re-merges. Did you notice all of them with the shiny side up have a fence from the rollcage to the spoiler, on only the left?

One more for a trifecta.

Edit: Maybe we need a thread for aerodynamic wooden boats?

It's worth checking out the other 8 pictures. It was re-blogged from http://burninghydrocarbon.tumblr.com/post/156759352612

It appears to be wood over an aluminum or fiberglass hull with coaming and character lines in the wooden deck; but there is no information to follow up. Prolly my new favorite boat.
