Blimey you looked it up after I said I didn't like it? Brave... Very brave...

Aye it's an eye bleeder for sure. In the town I lived in people thought it was a prank and not a real car as they had one in orange sat outside for months.

The Ssangyong Rodius is pretty special as well.

Isn't that what Walter White drives in Breaking Bad?
It was indeed, if you have a Google around, it was a very deliberate choice.

Quote:
The car, in a strange parallel with it’s owner, has been through the wringer. It’s windshield was broken several times. Walt’s glasses were broken several times over the course of the series. This can’t be a coincidence. Nothing on Breaking Bad just happens for no reason. The fern green Aztek is Walter White on wheels. It gets beaten up a few times from falling airline disaster debris, or running over bad guys, but it gets patched up again and keeps on going.

Another symbolic association with the Aztek is its name. The Aztecs were a native people of northern Mexico, of which the setting of the show, New Mexico, was once a part.

Midway through the fifth and final season of the series, Walt sells his worn out Pontiac (after it just had major repairs once again) for $50. I think this is a way of him tossing away his old persona and going full-on Heisenberg by leasing a loaded black Chrysler 300 with a hemi. Timid Walter is gone forever, replaced by the more self-sure and ruthless Heisenberg.
The only part of that comment that refers to the Aztec specifically rather than any other old beater is the reference to New Mexico, which sounds extremely tenuous and made up after the fact.
And Breaking Bad is as overrated as Shawshank Redemption is

Wasn't that the one Top Gear turned into a boat?

Shawshank Redemption is ok but BB is amazing. Go back to Riverdale.

If you click on the link you will find more information.
Opinions, rather than information. Quora is a cesspool.

I mean really.
Oh right, you were referring to something in another thread entirely.
BB and Shawshank are both basically works of art. Mali has no taste in film or TV whatsoever. Riverdale proves that sort of ab initio.

I'm the other way around.
BB was really dull. I was hoping for a Trooper plane crash by half way through the first season.
I got my very exciting wheels on today very excitingly.
Cor. Are you going rallying?
Reverse bonnet bulge next to accommodate simply enormous carburettor.
Awesome. My father would have a cargasm if he was alive to see that. Tyres are very fitting I reckon. Can't beat new rubber!
MIN POWER

Parked on the street outside my house. It’s a modders favourite Corsa
My lovely neighbour has bought a couple of 1960s Jag 420Gs. They are lovely, and I wants one. He calls them his "Gangster Jags" and they're like sitting in some kind of gentleman's club, all walnut and leather. Here's me, looking like a prat sitting it in!
Those are excellent. They're so big they almost don't fit on roads.

They were fine until oiks and scallywags starting getting cars, by jingo!
It is huge - I'd hate to have to park the thing, but you have so much room inside it's crazy. It's all polished walnut and mechanical switches and fold out trays in the back so passengers can have their cocktails in comfort.
It’s a lovely day for washing the car.

I mean, I assume these guys are enjoying it
One of the "joys" of being post barge, I had to do a round trip to pick up a load of stuff, and it wouldn't fit in the MX5.
£25 day rental later, and I was pootling about in a Kia Cee'd...

At first impression it was pretty good! All the toys in the world, nicely put together, cheap plastics but that is to be expected.
Started it up and blimey, agricultural is not the world, the diesel engine sounded like I should get to a garage pretty quick, but the car had only done 4k miles. Clattery as fuck.
Got on the road and the noise in the cabin was really bad, as in raise your voice to have a conversation over the tyre noise bad.
It crashed and bumped over every pothole, the ride was way too harsh.
6 speed gearbox! Which was just as well, as any incline meant changing down to 4th, or even 3rd, it was utterly gutless.

Still, bluetooth everything, lane assistance, reversing camera etc... Just a shame the car underneath all the tech was horrible.

Over £600k for a cheap plastic interior? :spew:
Speaking of ugly Pumas, there's a new Ford Puma. I don't know why they used that name.

I don’t really ‘get’ what makes a car ugly, but even I can see that is horrible.

Still, the ugliest car ever will always be the Fiat Multipla.
It’s one of only three cars I can remember the name of, the other being the car we have now. Actually, I’ve temporarily forgotten that one :DD It’s a... nope. Mind has gone blank :D Anyway, the other is a Nissan Figaro.
There used to be a Mazda Bongo Friendee that parked on my street - a name that is now burnt into my memory for ever.

I think you'd look good in a Nissan S Cargo

Nissan note! That’s the badger. Is it wrong that I don’t hate that.l red ... thing? I’d have to get some Postman Pat insignia on the sides, mind.
