[AZhitman]

Saw it at SEMA.

Is awesome.

Only in Amurrka, baby.

[heliochrome85]

it brings tears to my eyes.

im not even joking.

i hate toyota. and the morons who buy them. this is why i love cars.

[asoomal]

Is that out of a semi?

And holy wheel base.

[krimsonviper]

I read the thread as, "where's your pen15 now?" I promptly grabbed mine and gave it a loving squeeze. Anyone else?

[heliochrome85]

its either out of a semi or causes a semi...
your choice

Same thing - as I was watching the video.

i really want a cummins turbo diesel.....

[s0m3th1ngAZ]

Someone needs to convert a Prius to a 1400 lb-ft of Cummins turbo torque.

[heliochrome85]

the prius has such s*** build quality that if you put any larger a motor in it, it'd probably shake the door panels loose.

DO EET.
Make sure your exhaust exits exactly at car windshield height.
If someone tailgates you, promptly hit the go-pedal and give em a good black cloud of "eff you". >:]

[PoorManQ45]

Cool to see, but this also disappoints me. It perpetuates the stereotype that diesels are dirty.

They need to take a page from Le Mans.

[bobotech]

Awesome vid but why is the wheelbase so long?

[audtatious]

Awesome vid but why is the wheelbase so long?

Looks like they stretched the body and chassis by making it a 4-door.

[heliochrome85]

in doing so, they made it even more sexy. imagine rolling into costco in this to pick up diapers?

need. in my life. now.

[King Ranzo]

Does anybody have a change of underwear?

[Amays U G37S]

god i love rat rods

[Dieselman]

Gotta love 12 valves with a nice P7100 and compounds

Always wanted to put a 3cyl Perkins out of a reefer unit in a Prius and tune is to smoke NO MATTER WHAT.


Then drive around Boulder and piss off the hippies

[audtatious]

Last time you did that the cops showed up at your door.

[poems2beats]

Nope out of a dodge truck. Not a big fan of rat rods but love me some Cummins... Some time in the future I whant to drop a 4bt in a old Toyota pick up.

But seriously, the prius hating bandwagon is getting old...

[Dieselman]

I have no comment on this..........................

[OriginalWheelman]

Looking at the vid I would say the chassis was that long to accommodate the transmission, and an appropriate length drive shaft.

[AZhitman]

Awesome vid but why is the wheelbase so long?

Ever occur to anyone that the original body was a 4-door?

1928 Dodge 4-door:

Got a Kubota (I think) 3-cyl diesel sitting here, not being used... It's already got a T28 (IIRC) on it. It was from the DesertFuel test mule.

hmmm, tempting!

[themadscientist]

I think I'm pregnant now.

[krash]

THAT. IS. AWESOME.

But seriously, the prius hating bandwagon is getting old...

Have you driven one? I've had to park three of them. You don't realize how much fail that car really is until you're forced to drive one.

[AZhitman]

But seriously, the prius hating bandwagon is getting old...

Is i still a bandwagon if I hated them before they were ubiquitous?

They're nothing more than an expensive way to fool yourself (and your dumb neighbors) into thinking you're actually doing some holier-than-thou thing to protect the planet.

You're welcome.

[PEZi]

precisely... the production process that goes into making that car is never made up for by the sorta ok gas mileage it gets when viewed at from an environmental standpoint

so yes... the tree huggers are actually killing trees by driving priii....
