1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

That's a new one. I usually say FPG, or Feet per Gallon.

 

Amazing, that's the exact car that nobody wanted in 1974!

 

Hey it’s portland, some hipster will love his new “hot rod muscle car”

 

The 304 in there is sorta neat, someone with an old Wagoneer or a Javelin might want that so they can have a more genuine resto. But the matador... Yeah that's got a face only a mother could love, and only after she's had a few.

 

Yeah most AMC’s had a goofy look to me, but some are goofy in a good way, not that one tho

 

How about this beauty... Luxury, that's real fake wood grain

Looks like something the newbie off duty fed would drive in an old cop movie

 

There's just something wrong about a Landeau top that covers half the roof on a two door

 

Yeah it looks like an afterthought. Hard to imagine that being brand new in a showroom and people being excited about it

 

Speaking of Tesla... my neighbor across the street recently took delivery of his Model 3. He's had service out at his house off and on for the last several days. Apparently they cant resolve an electrical issue. He's pissed about it. Hell I would be as well.

Next door neighbor bought a Roadster Model S before selling his house and relocating. Now that poor dude, his rear quarter panels were loose from the factory. They came out a few times to resolve but ended up taking it back in and giving him a Model X loaner. He finally received his Model S back and sure enough, still loose. Ended up returning it and they canceled the purchase with no money lost. He then goes out and buys a new BMW 5 series. 2 days after he brought it home, heads out to run some errands and some whack full on sideswipes his ass and takes off. No plate, nothing. BMW is wasted.

poor bastard

 

Not surprised about the Roaster, Lotus did make it.

Just like the DeLorean.

 

my bad, not the roadster - the model S.

 

Quality on Tesla are by no means perfect, but newer revisions of their lower production cars like the S and X are better than they used to be. The 3 we have has no problems quality wise besides the car not wanting to wake up due to poor LTE connection from the App, but that's really it. Material quality could be better, it's not Mercedes or BMW level quality materials.

The 3 is a mixed bag because they're pushing so many of them out at a frightening rate.

 

Personally, I think musk is losing it

his behavior has been way off ever since that whole cave entrapment of kids, wanting to deploy his own sub plan and being given the finger essentially by the thai government and that diver who ended up rescuing the kids.

Hopefully he pulls it together.

 

I've said this story before, but one day the lead supervisor for the Model 3 Body Assembly line happened to pop in front of my house looking for a Geocache I put there. While I was talking to him he found out his coworker just got let go as a part of those mass layoffs.

 

A golf cart

 

Good luck taking that on the highway.

 

Anything can be done with the right know how

 

Heres an 880 on my 2.7. 2" aal in the back. Id go 881 cause rake.

 

Wont really matter imo. Youre gonna get like 3" of lift or more and it will ride like a brick. Expect to be taking it all off in a few days anyway. Theres a reason why no one does this.

Edit to add: 1st gen shocks are shorter than 2nd gens, so youre already preloading those coils. So Id say to definetly expect more than 3".
