Various Tesla 2008 -





Tesla's dang cool street machines runnin' on downright insane electric power. Talkin' 'bout insane, the Tesla Model S's got its own crazy mode. The American and also South African fella, Elon Musk, is the brain behind these rigs. What's fun is Elon Musk's a bit of a character; he named his cars with a letter code spellin' out 'SEX.' And later, when Model Y rolls out, it's gonna be downright 'sexy.' On Model E, he couldn't get away with it, but he still called it '3' as a kind of opposite 'E.' Them electric rigs haul like greased lightning, and with insane mode, it's like a dang catapult. By the way, Model E's the only one I've had the pleasure of sittin' in, though it ain't the fastest, not like the Model S.

Someone I used to work with, by the way, is what they call a boer from South Africa, and he went to the same school as Elon Musk.

Porsche 911, Porsche 914 and Volkswagen Beetle RS Porsche

Bilde
(Here's a prototype from around 2020 of the old-school Beetle.) Volkswagen Beetle is often considered the first truly modern car. Hitler wanted a people's car, and he preferred it to be round and streamlined. The choice landed on Ferdinand Porsche's project, the Beetle. Despite being a major project of Nazi Germany and Hitler, who are responsible for the deaths of around 60 million people and a world in ruins, the Beetle became a real hit after the war. The Beetle was so popular that in the early 1970s, it became the world's best-selling car. Production continued only in South America after that, where it was produced and sold until 2003. In the rest of the West, it had a long hiatus of over 20 years, during which it was replaced by the Golf. However, in the 1990s, a new model called the New Beetle was introduced, first sold in the USA in 1996. It didn't arrive in Norway until 1998. But I remember the first one in Bærum sat for a long time at Bærum Bilutleie in Has...

Fiat Strada Renault Express/Renault Kangoo Volkswagen Caddy

Fiat Strada. This here rig comes in two flavors: the older models are tiny lil' pickups — real small, but scrappy. The newer ones, up to about five years old, are more like big ol' Isuzu Troopers or Toyota Hilux trucks — real workhorses, built tough for the long haul. You can trick these babies out real nice, slap on some chrome, lift the suspension, add a light bar — make ’em look mean and mighty fine. And get this: 'bout ten years back, Fiat went and bought out the whole dang Chrysler group. Yup, the whole enchilada. These days, a lotta their rides look a whole lot like Chryslers and Dodges. That goes for Lancia and Alfa Romeo too — all of ’em got a bit of that American muscle flair now. Renault Kangoo. This baby rolled onto the scene back in '99 — 'round the same time my old man got a real hankerin’ to buy one. It's still one slick-lookin’ box-on-wheels, and you can even get it in a tall-boy version with four-wheel drive for takin’ on dirt roads or muddy ...

Lada 1500 concept and Lada 1500 3G and 4G street cars

Bilde
Below, you’ll find a picture of the Lada 1500 concept along with a sporty version of the Lada 1500 above. Unfortunately, the concept car never made it into production. The Lada 1500 3G and 4G are more akin to classic cars than true modern street cars, as they are built on a Fiat model from the 1960s. Lada launched its last versions of these models in 1979 and 1982. By that time, Lada had already produced two versions of the Fiat 1500, based on models from the 1950s and 60s, earlier in the 1970s. In this link , you can see an awesome Lada 1500 3G with an engine from the Nissan Skyline . There’s a saying that Russians and people from former Soviet states often use: 'A Lada, it has a Porsche engine!' Supposedly, Porsche tried to modify the Lada 1500 by collaborating with Lada back in 1976 on the 2103 model . This collaboration fell through, but Porsche later entered into another partnership where they allegedly built a Lada Samara with an engine from the legendary Porsche 9...
