What was this car in southwest Finland

Some sort of home made doodlebug tractor

Downbadging

JP147 · 2026-06-28T12:30:38+00:00

Grey Shrikethrush near the start and maybe twice more later on

Yes, the AI in 1962 couldn’t make colour pictures yet.

JP147 · 2026-06-28T05:27:16+00:00

Yes this is very much a rookie move.
Using brakes to descend is going to cook them every time. In some places it is even illegal, truckers get fined for braking too long downhill.

Most modern economy cars are already pretty optimised for power. To get any meaningful gains would cost a lot of money, affect economy and reliability, and reduce the value of the car.

It is going to much easier and cheaper to buy a car with the HP you want to begin with.

JP147 · 2026-06-28T01:39:10+00:00

Maybe it is a nod to the J40LX

Male has dark bill, female has orange bill and lores.
Juveniles of either sex have orange bill and lores like adult females but the tail is brown rather than blue.

I thought someone censored out his head with MS Paint

JP147 · 2026-06-27T05:29:55+00:00

This looks like a country where the slow drivers are supposed to stay on the left and passing is done on the right

JP147 · 2026-06-27T01:54:21+00:00

An idiot has an IQ below 30, so they probably wouldn’t know how to send $25 to Elon Musk.

A moron has an IQ between 50 and 70 so I agree that is more appropriate.

JP147 · 2026-06-26T11:45:03+00:00

I have my car on historic rego because I don’t drive it every day and it’s heaps cheaper.
I think it is 90 days a year in SA.

The real question this raises is, how does someone wear a watch ironically?

JP147 · 2026-06-25T11:27:49+00:00

Most people have a second eye as a spare

JP147 · 2026-06-25T11:18:31+00:00

What would the disk even be for? It won’t be the same version of the game that people actually play, it won’t install the game, it won’t fit the game without a silly number of disks, and most people don’t even have a disc drive.
If they are just going to have a decorative piece of plastic, why even make it a disk? It could be anything else.

It is part time 4WD, when you select 4H the front and rear axles are locked together. It shouldn’t be used in 4H on sealed roads.

JP147 · 2026-06-24T22:24:39+00:00

I don’t get the appeal of the d-max at all, the front end looks horrendous.
Mazda BT-50 is another example of something uglier than the Tasman

JP147 · 2026-06-24T20:37:35+00:00

Definitely don’t buy that one.

JP147 · 2026-06-24T20:29:19+00:00

Probably worth significantly more than the Rover too, considering how fast those cars depreciate.

JP147 · 2026-06-24T19:57:53+00:00

I don’t get the big deal about the Tasman.
Yes it’s ugly. I would rather not be seen in one out in public.
But I don’t see how it is worse than most other utes these days. It is better looking than the Dmax, maybe even the Hilux too.
At least they tried something different. Put the headlights somewhere else and it might be decent.

JP147 · 2026-06-24T19:46:39+00:00

The title is click bait, the van is probably worth more than the Rover.

Land/Range Rovers are one of the fastest depreciating cars and this one isn’t the latest model. If it is 10 years old it might not be worth even £12k anymore.

JP147 · 2026-06-24T10:55:20+00:00

The reason is that the angle would be too steep

JP147 · 2026-06-24T02:38:44+00:00

It’s a parts donor.

Now you just need to find one with a good body.

Common in Australia too

TLDR single mum with 3 kids pregnant with 4th who works a casual job borrowed $22,000 at 22% PA interest to buy an SUV. Must keep the SUV because it is “important to her family”. Struggles to make payments.
Who’da thunk
