Sometimes I forget how beautiful The Trout is, and someone has to come up to me in a parking lot, point to it and go "Nice. I really like it... Nice" and then I'm proud again.

I don't understand what is cool about this car — other than its embrace of ugliness, which is of course gorgeous — and I can't ask my resident machine nerd, because he is asleep.

What is awesome about this car? Other than the fun aesthetics, obviously I appreciate that because I have eyes and a soul

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Just the aesthetics/pattern as you stated. Since it's so irregular it helps hide the actual ugliness of the car and focuses the eye on the nice-ish colours. Inthink that is all that's happening here.

Looks like an AU falcon?
This photo is reversed and I don't like it.

Things are cheap and plentiful, with enough displacement to melt tyres, and your licence with it. Why the AU Falcon is the best car ever made

Why the fuck are there so many videos and pics of that car fucking around the hell

edit: oh the AU stands for Australia, makes sense why it's a ute

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

I do not think the AU stands for Australia, aus-delenda-est has Falcons coded EA, XD and XA as well. Aus Falcon is kinda cool.

Or it's not reversed because the sticker reads correct, and it's a left hand drive? Idk wtf is happening
