If “Walk away” Joe had been born a car, he would have been aborted because he was deemed defective and not an asset to society.

If Joe Biden was a car, he’d be a BMW. He’d keep bleeding cash out of you even after you’d payed him off.

Kamala looks like the big mouth and deep throat of a 1958 Edsel.
Yeah, I said it.

The Edsel had a horse collar front end.
The Biden Mobile has a horse’s ass for a front end!

Maybe Kamala actually did suck a lemon thru the front grille of a 58 Edsel. Joey would’ve been a Trabant, the cheaply built East German POS that was the world’s worst car ever, even worse than a Yugo.

Rat Fink, joey doesn’t even have enough moxie to be an Ed “Big Daddy” Roth creation like Digger, Davy or Daddy. He’d be more like something from a demented Basil Wolverton cartoon from the old Mad Magazine of the 50’s and 60’s.

The Green New Deal meets Cash For Clunkers meets Brandon Motor Works meets Choo Choo Pete’s six months of maternity leave meets 10 bucks a gallon of gas meets a government installed vehicle kill switch meets the end of the internal combustion engine meets racist highways shuttered meets trucker convoys arrested meets bank accounts seized meets thought crimes meets the end of the world as we know it and I feel finally ready for the end of the world…

@Ann Thracts, that’s what I thought Kamala would be too. Lol!!
How many remember this one from the first Obama years?

…you know, you think you’re being funny, but this actually has a real world application.
I work with several types of robots and among them are a class of mobile robot known as Automated Guided Vehicles, or AGVs. AGVs have taught me many lessons about how stupid battery storage for electric vehicles is, how expensive it is, and how many ways it can go wrong, but that’s neither here nor there. The main purpose of AGVs is to take repetitive tasks away from forklift operators in confined spaces where forklifts do not belong (anyone with forklift operators can tell you what they do to doors, racks, plumbing, sprinkler heads, etc. even on a GOOD day in an unobstructed warehouse, so you don’t want them for precision applications), to move heavy loads expeditiously from conveyor A to conveyor B, in our case from loaders to processing vessels to unloaders, and there’s a variety of strategies to do that.
One of them is four wheel steering.
It’s an expensive option, but AGVs can be purchased with steering servos on all four wheels, so the vehicle can actually stop, turn all four wheels 90 degrees, and move exactly sideways, then straighten out and drive directly forward again. This is useful for lining up with things, moving things between conveyors parallel to each other, or to be able to move around a stopped AGV in as little space as possible.
This is not without problems and requires that the four servo motors have synched encoders so they “know” EXACTLY which direction each wheel is pointed, rely on the motors to precisely execute that movement, and require a surface and a tire that have traction, but not TOO MUCH traction to be able to turn a stopped wheel 90 degrees without damaging it or the floor beneath it, which is why I look askance at reports that certain manufacturers are trying to bring 4 wheel steering to the civilian car market (I could write a book about why electric self-guided vehicles that are marginally useful in a controlled indoor environment around trained personnel are NOT a good idea in the wider world among fools), but it CAN be done and IS being done and DOES have some utility.
Unlike Pedo Biden.
I would sooner drive a car sideways on I-75 than obey a single commandment of The Pedo. I would rather navigate with a permanent crick in my neck from looking out the side window than honor the stolen title of The Pedo. It is easier to parallel park a car like this than for a a nation to be successful if it follows the demented, syphilis-infected drooling maunderings of The Pedo.
In short, the car in this picture is in good shape, not unattractive, could have some utility, and at the worst can be parked and displayed as a curiosity for everyone to enjoy but ultimately will not impact their lives whatsoever.
Unfortunately, the same can not be said about The Pedo…

If the pedo was a car it would be a Flintstone model…

“Like Yugos having rear window defrosters.
Kept your hands warm while pushing it.”
…not saying you’re wrong about the operability of that pinnacle of Eastern European Communist civilian engineering, except for one minor detail.
I was working on cars when this was an available thing, including on actual Yugos and the electrical systems thereon, particularly the fine Yugoslavian alternators and voltage regulators thereon.
Because they needed it.
A LOT.
…towards the end of their run, Yugos came with a card that had *all* of the light bulbs used in that vehicle, from turn signal to tail light.
This was because they had a tendency to sometimes go over-voltage at random intervals and blow out any active bulb at the time, so you would have to replace every bulb that blew when it happened.
…so yes, while you would spend a lot of time pushing a Yugo, it’s unlikely that it would keep your hands warm with the rear HBL because that probably wasn’t working either, although it IS possible the car would be on fire, so that would help.
also, I’d say if you were pushing any OTHER car by the window glass, you’re doing it wrong, but in THAT case the glass is no more or less likely to fail than any OTHER part of that car, sheet metal NOT excepted.
…but that was scarcely the ONLY problem this car had. For the young ‘uns that were born after this company collapsed, here’s a nice capsule description of the wonderfulness of Commie Cars for future reference about where American manufacturing is headed…
JB Honeydew, Reliant Robins had only 3 wheels, they were glorified tricycles. And yes they were ugly. What were the dumb Brits thinking when they built those POS’s?

And didn’t Mr. Bean drive a Reliant Robin or was it something similar and just as ugly and useless?

I liked the BMW Isetta tricycle.
That big front-opening door?
…don’t hit anything with the front of the vehicle, is all I’m saying…
Nash/Kelvinator also built refrigerators back in the late 40’s and early 50’s. I don’t drink beer but wouldn’t drinking warm beer be the same as drinking piss.
2
@ Geoff. Mr. Bean drove a Reliant Regal. The Robin was its “improved” replacement 🤣
And I have no idea of the though processes behind a three wheeled car
2
One of the funniest things I ever saw was 2 great big fat guys in an Isetta stopped at a stoplight in downtown Spokane years ago and the guy riding a 750 Honda motorcycle next to them laughing his ass off. We called Isetta’s the ultimate slug bug when my kids were growing up because if you ever saw one you were forever exempt from being slugged by a sibling ever again and they never saw an Isetta in person except for the Urkel mobile on TV.
3
Nobody mentioned the failed Crosley’s, the short-lived car built by a manufacturer of appliances and radios back in the day and the namesake of the baseball park Crosley Field.
2
geoof – Nash/Kelvinator – that reminds me, whutever happened to Lady Kenmore?
Kelvinator!
3
I forgot about the Isetta. 🤣🤣That can be added to the list as well.

Crosley Field was the home of the Cincinatti Reds until 1970. And Rat Fink that joke is as bad as Why didn’t the number 6 like the number 7? Because 7 8 9.
2
When I was a kid there was an Isetta in the empty, wooded lot on the street behind our house. I always thought this weird little thing was from another planet and could always picture an alien sitting in it!
4
OK schmart guy… whutever happened to Helena Rubinstein?
2
The imagined aliens in that Isetta probably would be in a cartoon from The Far Side.

I got extremely dirty looks from an old guy driving an early 50’s Kaiser Frazer one time when we were in Caldwell, Idaho back in the late 60’s visiting my mom’s older brother and family and I made a rude comment about it thru an open window. I do like the odd looking Kaiser Henry J’s though.

“Surprise her with a Kaiser!”
“Amaze her with a Frasier!”
Aaaaaaaaaaaannnnnd that’s why the old man went out and bought a Tucker!

Sears Roebuck even sold cars for a few years in the early 50’s that were built by Kaiser.

…well, if you’re going to go there with speech impediments…
…I heard a story once about a midget with a lisp who went to see a man about a horse.
The rancher was put off immediately by the appearance of the midget, who he thought was too “dandified” to be a serious horseman, but went ahead and showed him the horse but was also annoyed by the lisp, which made him think the guy was some kind of stereotypical gay pervert.
They went to the horse, and the midget said “I want to seeth her eyths”. He was too short to see them, so the rancher had to hold him up. The midget said “Niceth eyths. I wanna seeth her theeth”.
The rancher obligingly lowered him to do so.
The midget then said “nicth theeth. Now I wanna seeth her twat”. This did in the rancher, who ran to the back of the horse holding the midget, and crammed him in the surprised horse’s vagina.
“THERE, YA LITTLE PERVERT! GET A GOOD LOOK, YA FREAK!”,then pulled him out and flung him to the ground in disgust.
The midget recovered himself, stood up unsteadily, and after wiping the fluid from his eyes and mouth said “no, I meant I wanteth to watch her RUN”…

Saw a video on youtube that had a guy who wanted an all-wheel-drive car so he made one. Worth watching
Three wheels as a stupid idea. Who would ever do such a thing, and why? Government.
If you had less than four wheels you weren’t taxed as a car, so you get three wheeled vehicles.
Europeans also tax on engine displacement, so smaller engines than US cars.

So what do I see this morning after talking about Kaiser Frazer’s, I see one driving in the left lane headed East towards the Spokane Valley cruising along at 60mph. You would think that this old Kaiser was a beater from what it looks like but it’s really a sleeper that fools people into thinking why is this guy driving a junk mobile on the freeway. I’ve seen this guy before cruising along on the freeway at 60 and 70 mph in the left lane without a care in the world, it’s truly a sight to see. And you know what they say about beaters on bumper stickers that “beaters are neater”.
Cheryl, I figured that had to be Red Green because he had a penchant to use and destroy POS Chrysler K cars. Let’s all bow our heads and say the man’s prayer, “I’m a man and I can change if I have to, I guess.”
He would have been in the junkyard 20 years ago.
