Concept cars are fun. The vast majority of them never make it to any sort of production, usually for OBVIOUS reasons... because the cars tend to be really crazy and wacky designs that aren't entirely practical for the consumer who is looking for something to get him to and from work safely everyday.

Here's a pretty interesting one you've probably never seen before. The 1968 Dodge Daroo. Kinda looks like a Dodge Dart fucked a speedboat and then the boat had an ugly mulatto Dart/speedboat kid.

Reminiscent of real-life GTA (without the NPCs.)

All wheel drive, 845 HP naturally aspirated 6.7L V8, revs to 8000+ RPM...

(Someone on another vid commented that the only parts still belonging to the 65 Mustang were the A pillar and the roof.)

Yeah, some of the locations and street layouts there are almost exactly duplicated in GTA5. I was watching the first couple of minutes of it thinking, "Holy shit, I've killed people there before!"

Yeah, pretty much. I was thinking the rear fenders might be original, but I don't imagine anyone sane would use original rear fenders of a real 65 mustang when they know they're gonna be doing THAT with it. They probably have some custom fabbed fiberglass shit or carbon fiber. Not sure how much 65 mustang in any condition with nothing but a body and frame would go for, but I know that 68 GT fastbacks, even completely gutted and in horrible shape, are definitely a small fortune. I'd kill my own mother 12 times for one.

My new toy. Yamaha 115 hp v4 2 stroke. This motor has the reputation for lasting forever. I'll eventually take out the oil injection and mix the oil in the fuel myself. The whole point of an oil injector is the difference in the necessary ratio of fuel to oil from idle to full throttle. But forget that, I'm mixing the ratio for full throttle myself and the motor will last even longer ridding out one crucial thing that can go wrong.

I'm also going to ditch the Bimini top and install a t top. The last picture I post will be my same boat with a t top. Other than that I'll pressure wash and repaint the bottom and a few other things.

I think she was looking into a mirror when she got the idea for that shirt.

I'll keep this as short as possible.

I just bought a house and wanted a nicer grill than normal(I'm used to buying them in the 140-160 range when on sale and I'm looking at ones up to 250)

My wife surprises me by buying one for 299. Although it was already the nicest grill I've ever had, a part of me said damn if I picked it out it would've been more what I wanted and probably cheaper. Turns out she did a nice job but anyway it was paid for and I had to pick it up. I give them a heads up that I'd like to take advantage of their free assembly.

I go to pick it up and they tell me to pull my truck around, they threw it in the back. I drive several hours back home. Turns out they messed up and gave me a grill that is WAY more expensive. Normally I'd say something but they fucked up, so I'm now gonna enjoy my badass grill(while the waltons enjoy their 20k$ grill and the guy they pay $100 an hour to run it). That other box has an electric rotisserie inside that I'll be hooking up to it too. Gonna be roasting legs of lamb, birds, all sorts of stuff.

I meant to post this in the Man Thread. Haha oh well. Thing is 100% stainless, burners and burner covers included. Stove top on left side, 6 burners in the center, right side is a meat searer.

Yeah, you got considerably more than 300 bucks worth of grill there, haha. Jackpot.

My neighbor has one like that. I still use my old 3-legged round Weber charcoal grill. He probably looks at me like I'm a fucking welfare bum. Fuck a propane, I gots the Kingsford bag, yo. I don't grill fancy, I grill like poor white trash. Actually... ever had turkey smoked in a metal trash can? DID IT! It was damn good too.
