I'll start.

I'm sure there's many other things wrong with this image as well, but it looks like the exhaust feeds into the transmission ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ

I'll go next - top mounted blower injector has unnecessary side ports that provide no benefit from being exposed above the engine block. Typically, they are used as a ram intake to increase horsepower.

The front axle appears to come out of the differential at two different heights

๐Ÿ˜‚ I completely missed that. Good catch!

[โ€“] over_clox 1 points 1 year ago

Well that's because the front differential is cracked, obviously..

[โ€“] over_clox 3 points 1 year ago

Indeed. If anything, the sideways airflow of driving down the road would probably pull something of a vacuum on those side ports, basically defeating the purpose.

It looks like what Giger's art is to biology, this is to mechanics.

It's mechanical in the same way live action transformers were- not at all lol. I wonder how much fuel would this beast need to reach a reasonable air/fuel ratio? So much intake.

Slaps roof of car This baby gets a little more than 10 gallons to the mile. Super efficient.

Oooh, another good one. There's no side view mirrors. Just looks like a flexed arm. It's oddly fitting for a truck of this magnitude.

No no, that's just the front suicide door handle, it clearly opens both ways, duh. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ
