This is a replica of the world's first self-propelled land vehicle (France, steam-powered, 1770). Thoughts?

probably still more reliable and better made than a Ford today
Sure is.
Don't crash this one.
it's fwd. By now, that should be named french wheel drive.
you are now my favorite person
Proof that FWD is dated as fuck.
I'm guessing it's faster when it reverses?
Why is fwd so fast in reverse?
The original was understeered into a wall
Nordschleife lap time?
Can it beat a corvette around Willow Springs?
7 hours 51 minutes.
Because when accelerating the weight shifts to the opposite side of where the wheels are going. Usually that's the rear of the car (and therefore the rear wheels). FWD is shit because it can't get the power down under acceleration as well as RWD can, UNLESS you're going in reverse, in which case it becomes RWD.
>fwd
Oh i see, so it's basically getting more """traction""" by shoving all of the weight on the driven wheels?
Has it run over any women yet
Know what I got.
Even the cars vaped back then?
This is true.
Neck yourself
I'd rather drive this than a mazda or GM product.
lol buying french shit, its slower then gt86
>Thoughts?
Needs some anime stickers
Exactly.
Napoleon should have used it as his panzer army
First the driver yelled aluah Akbar
Can you imagine how wet a cute French farmer's daughter got back then if you rolled into town on this?
by wet do you mean burned by steam?
that's not how women worked before
Kek, that's what I always call it, hope it catches on.
Fpbp
Fun fact
Mr2's and fiero's back ends are fwd cars reversed
In the case of the mr2 it's a corolla
...
lol
>reversed
no, they're actually played straight, they just put the fwd drivetrain on the rear wheels and called it a day.
>GM fans btfo
>they never recover.
Get your history right, man.
The driver yelled "Vive la Révolution" as he crashes his steam-powered wagon into a crowd of French aristocrats
because FWD, in reverse, is RWD
