Jeeps are not a go fast vehicle... there's a thing called death wobble.

[-] hash@slrpnk.net 7 points 4 days ago

Death wobble is truly terrifying. Seriously do not let a new driver behind the wheel of anything with a solid front axle.

[-] petey@aussie.zone 3 points 4 days ago

My 2001 Landcruiser with over 1,000,000 kms on the clock had a solid front axle and never did anything like a death wobble. For that matter, nor did our ‘96 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Maybe the longer wheelbase helped

Mostly happens when bushings are worn out

I'm thinking entirely too hard for a meme about the aerodynamics of a pokemon, but there's no way that a literal Bulbasaur can beat an actual car, right?

[-] Hotspur@lemmy.ml 43 points 4 days ago

Bulbasaur has curves, jeep is a series of boxes. So very possibly bulbasaur wins.

[-] frezik@midwest.social 3 points 4 days ago

Series of boxes built around the same basic shape as a WWII vehicle, only bigger.

I remember when I learned that jeep Windshields fold down not because it’s a cool lifestyle thing, but because it allows you to stack them on top of each other in the holds of liberty ships… didn’t have to worry about roll bars in ww2 I suppose.

[-] Ephera@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 days ago

Bulbasaur even has a sweet spoiler for that extra traction.

[-] FireRetardant@lemmy.world 17 points 4 days ago

Well to win, the jeep would have to be running, so most would be disqualified before the match even starts. If the ref is feeling nice they can allow up to 3 attempts to start the jeep.

What if Bulbasaur was wearing heelys?

[-] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

It would be too cool to exist

[-] mkwt@lemmy.world 11 points 4 days ago

It's not clear if they properly matched the Reynolds numbers and other similarity parameters to properly make this comparison.

to be fair, the jeep is a car, and not a particularly aerodynamic one, and one that can go much much faster than a pokemon ever could conceive of so.

[-] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 17 points 4 days ago

i'm no fan of jeeps, but no one's buying them for speed

[-] Ephera@lemmy.ml 6 points 4 days ago

I mean, no, but people do still drive them on highways, so the mildest resemblance of fuel efficiency would be nice.

[-] friend_of_satan@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

Tell that to the people driving the dirt road outside my neighborhood.

[-] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 days ago

You're understanding how fast that road can be driven by a vehicle made to go fast on dirt roads!

I don't often see Jeep Wranglers, but they're invariably driven by hairdressers and gay bar owners in my country

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 days ago

That's pretty weird honestly

[-] conc@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 days ago

If you don't mind, what counrtry?

[-] flambonkscious@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 days ago

For aerodynamics, aren't most cars are facing the wrong way?

The ideal is something like a reverse wedge, if I remember correctly

[-] BmeBenji@lemm.ee 5 points 4 days ago

“Hey, barkeep! Can you make me a Bulbasour neat? Thanks!”

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 3 points 4 days ago

Whoa, that low-pressure butt area can such the poop right out of that monster.

you mean to tell me a large vehicle is less aerodynamic than a small animal that doesnt exist?

fascinating.

[-] kurwa@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

Well the shape exists, and I don't think the size matters in aerodynamics? I'm not sure.
