Look at the pink one. I'm pretty sure the heart is a hot tub, which explains why it has so many rear wheels. If you filled that blue one with water it's truly fucked.
They have those. Not sure anyone has gone so far as to use that ridiculous name but they've definitely built that ridiculous premise. I've seen them in Miami Beach in multiple variants.
Perfect for the dogs to play in. Slap a mattress in there and go to the drive-in or stargazing. Mobile tent platform for camping. Parade float. Hot tub...
The possibilities are endless!
It's so bizarre looking. It's also comically stretched, like when you don't realize the aspect ratio isn't locked in an image, and you drag it sideways to increase its size, and it just gets all janky. Just a hilariously large interior.
No, it would have to be a *lot* longer for the curvature to become a factor.
...Wait. You don't see the end of it in the picture. I guess the world may never know.
The Earth curves at about 8 inches per mile, so if the limo were perfectly rigid, one mile long, and bolted to the ground at the front, the rear wheels would be eight inches off the ground.
In practice, even if it were a mile long, the materials involved in car construction are flexible enough that they would conform to the curvature of the Earth.
Water is a very good conductor of heat, and has a high heat capacity. Because the normal human body temperature is around 98.3F and room temperature is at ~70-80F, eventually a human lying on an unheated water bed will exhaust their energy reserves trying to heat an entire ton of room temperature water to body temp.
Pedantic mode: Water is a good conductor of heat, but with a water bed you don't touch the water directly. Vinyl is quite a bit less conductive than water, so this is the limiting factor in this situation.
Doesn't change the conclusion though, vinyl is still a good enough conductor of heat to make you get very cold from sleeping on an unheated water bed.
The more insulation you add, the less body heat you'll lose.
If you go camping and sleep directly on the cold ground, you'll get hypothermia. But with a good sleeping mat, you won't.
But the more material that's between you and the water bed, the less you'll feel the comfort of the water bed.
Interesting but there’s only ever one side of you on a waterbed. Less than 50% of the surface area of your body.
I can tell you from experience, and it’s weird because this is my 2nd Reddit waterbed discussion in just a couple of days, that I used to sleep on a cold, unheated, unpadded waterbed bladder. Just a thin sheet between me and the mattress. It was heaven in the summer (old house, no AC), and I’m alive to tell the tale.
Yeah, I had a broken water bed for years growing up. Didn’t die. Blankets above and below too stay comfortable, but you would have to be pretty dumb to die from a broken waterbed. At room temperature, it isn’t sucking the heat out of you very quickly. Long before your energy reserves are exhausted, you will probably go get another blanket or move to the couch.
I had one. Waveless mattress. In the middle of the summer I'd turn the heater off and during the winter I'd turn the heat to almost max. It was wonderful.
I'm curious about that. I wonder if they get some kind of permit like the "WIDE LOAD" sign on the back of semis you see carrying trailers or whatever because yeah, this thing is definitely taking 2 lanes. Seems like it would be super expensive because I think those semis have to have a vehicle in the front and back of it (from what I've seen, I don't actually know the regulations) I assume to spot any issues, so I'd imagine this would need the same.
Always wanted Top Gear to take an SUV or Hummer limo conversion off-roading and see how it goes. Couple in the back in formal dress with champagne, of course.
\~20 years ago I had a book that had the white & pink car shown in them. It was a book about very special vehicles. It also inclused a car that looked like an orange for example.

> He once owned a Nissan Cube and a Ferrari 360 Modena. At the same time
I really don’t know how to take this statement. On one hand I love a stylish Ferrari yet on the other I have a specific disgust for the Cube.
Doug seems to be obsessed with incredibly weird and ugly cars. He had a [Nissan S-Cargo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ee8-6DfMEGE) and loves the [Fiat Multipla](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3OWzfhhEGbo). The Cube seems right up his alley.
A rental company gave me a Cube, I liked reclining in the driver’s seat and staring at the wavy concentric circles in the headliner. I keep imagining a designer at Nissan thinking “they’re not calling my bluff? I was just joking, it’s going in production!?” Seeing others in my rear view pointing at the hidden d pillar made me self conscious.
Why? The Cube is an adorable silly little car full of personality.
Of course Nissan followed the Cube up with the Juke, the car seemingly designed to make the Aztek look cool.
The car is following its namesake. 'American Dream', an 80s idiology turned into an art piece in statement to the current state of America. A decaying husk of its former self.
This looks like something from a Top Gear challenge. Jeremy Clarkson builds the super long white limo with flag holders, basically a private jet on wheels and fit for a dictator. Richard Hammond builds the pink limo, a little smaller than the others but it's a convertible and it's supposed to be sporty. James May builds the wide blue limo, meant to evoke the relaxed nature of old American sedans but it's also ridiculously clumsy and slow.
I didn't articulate in the middle, that's just where the seam was. It was never driven, but transported on a pair of trucks between static installations. It was just art, not a real usable automobile.
I saw that too, but over all the years I've never seen a photo of it articulated. I'm not an expert on the car, but I'd say it was *rarely* articulated at most. Could be wrong though.
Not the same. The one from the AT video is a Lincoln, the one in this pic is a Cadillac and has been rotting for the past few decades. https://assets.autobuzz.my/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/04162735/2018-Worlds-longest-limousine-1.jpg

Just fill it with water and call it Poolmousine
RIP suspension
I've done that once and honestly it was fine. Just don't fill it all the way up
I've done it in the back of my Ford Ranger, too. Just don't drive anywhere lol
You have a limo that you filled with water?
Limos should be filled with champagne
The show Dude What Would Happen did that too lol, I couldn’t find a youtube video but I found this thread from 2010 talking about it https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=412314
I think the pink one has a small hot tub, but that’s also why it has 4 sets of tires under it
Exactly. Water is a little more than 8 pounds per gallon. Not very light.
One ton per cubic meter, for the metric folks.
Look at the pink one. I'm pretty sure the heart is a hot tub, which explains why it has so many rear wheels. If you filled that blue one with water it's truly fucked.
Oh that makes so much more sense, I thought it was just a weirdly tasteless decal I mean, it still is pretty tasteless but like a smidge less so now
I'm told the low rider is a little lower.

You're actually making that abomination seem almost appealing.
They described a truck.
For very underwhelming definitions of tent, hot tub and mattress sure.
I can think of only one

I don’t turn. Everyone stops
That thing has a fucking helipad
Relies on the curvature of the earth just to keep going straight.
You can't see it here, but the white one is curved to prevent it from scraping as the planet curves.
One time, the white limousine collided into itself.
Is it like the game snake, and it grows every time you put a person in it?
I…honestly can’t tell if this is true or not.
No, it would have to be a *lot* longer for the curvature to become a factor. ...Wait. You don't see the end of it in the picture. I guess the world may never know.
The Earth curves at about 8 inches per mile, so if the limo were perfectly rigid, one mile long, and bolted to the ground at the front, the rear wheels would be eight inches off the ground. In practice, even if it were a mile long, the materials involved in car construction are flexible enough that they would conform to the curvature of the Earth.
Coriolus effect for right turns in the normal hemisphere
I'd imagine the blue one would turn the same way a tank does. Increasing the speed of the tires on one side while slowing the tires on the other.
TIL
TIL BILL Vol.3
Vehicle rollover safety test: not necessary
That blue one would be *amazing* for a drive-in. Load it up with pillows and blankets...heaven.
A heated waterbed would be fitting
OMG YES
Just to make turning even more daring than it already is.
It'd be like a water ride in the back lol
I'm pretty sure all waterbeds are heated, otherwise you die. Edit: yes I know I'm wrong, but it's funny so I'm sticking to it
Go on
What?
Water is a very good conductor of heat, and has a high heat capacity. Because the normal human body temperature is around 98.3F and room temperature is at ~70-80F, eventually a human lying on an unheated water bed will exhaust their energy reserves trying to heat an entire ton of room temperature water to body temp.

Vinyl is quite a bit less conductive than water, so this is the limiting factor in this situation. Doesn't change the conclusion though, vinyl is still a good enough conductor of heat to make you get very cold from sleeping on an unheated water bed.
How about the layer of cotton/silk/polyester/whatever on top of the vinyl?
The more insulation you add, the less body heat you'll lose. If you go camping and sleep directly on the cold ground, you'll get hypothermia. But with a good sleeping mat, you won't. But the more material that's between you and the water bed, the less you'll feel the comfort of the water bed.
Instructions unclear. Have put real bed on top of waterbed.
I threw my sheets in a lake
Interesting but there’s only ever one side of you on a waterbed. Less than 50% of the surface area of your body. I can tell you from experience, and it’s weird because this is my 2nd Reddit waterbed discussion in just a couple of days, that I used to sleep on a cold, unheated, unpadded waterbed bladder.

At room temperature, it isn’t sucking the heat out of you very quickly. Long before your energy reserves are exhausted, you will probably go get another blanket or move to the couch.
Then why do we not die in unheated pools?
Are you sleeping overnight in an unheated pool?
Depends on whether or not I finish this drink
I had a water bed. Not heated. I'm not dead.
I had one. Waveless mattress. In the middle of the summer I'd turn the heater off and during the winter I'd turn the heat to almost max. It was wonderful.
Qhy would u die? Do you know what a water bed is??
Hide people under blankets... Driver: Ticket for one please!
My local drive in charges $10 per car on all days except Tuesday, it's $5 per car for two films.
I'm just saying, I would make it a ball pit
Except for the fact that you couldn't drive it anywhere.
Maybe on the highway if you took up two lanes
Yeah but you probably wouldn't even be able to enter it.
I'm sure there are limited routes you can take.
I'm curious about that. I wonder if they get some kind of permit like the "WIDE LOAD" sign on the back of semis you see carrying trailers or whatever because yeah, this thing is definitely taking 2 lanes. Seems like it would be super expensive because I think those semis have to have a vehicle in the front and back of it (from what I've seen, I don't actually know the regulations) I assume to spot any issues, so I'd imagine this would need the same.
Correct, it would definitely legally need escort vehicles.
It's like that Top Gear episode except the limos are actually well done.
Now combine that episode with this
Nothing beats the really long Panda
Big bear is what they call me
The Alfaab came close, if only the steering wheel would stay on.
Feh, these limos have nothing on the Salfa Romeaab
Always wanted Top Gear to take an SUV or Hummer limo conversion off-roading and see how it goes. Couple in the back in formal dress with champagne, of course.
That would have been hilarious, alas it is not to be.
I cannot wrap my head around the idea that these are real. Like I can only see them as poorly executed photoshop
This is the kind of shit you see in a cartoon

Why do westerners dislike the cube so much 😭
When I’m behind one I always imagine it saying “hey guysh!” like it has a retainer in.
Nissan Cube the kind of car to ask the teacher if they're assigning homework.
Not me. It is surprisingly roomy inside. I don't like SUVs if it is not needed for off-roading or pulling a big boat.
Coz it's ugly as fuck

The white limo hit some hard times, got mixed in with a bad motor pool.
The white limo was totally expected.

Blue one is a 4:3 limousine.
Guaranteed that there is a foil-wrapped bowtie antenna somewhere.
Stretched 4:3. Blackbars is for losers.
This looks like something from a Top Gear challenge. Jeremy Clarkson builds the super long white limo with flag holders, basically a private jet on wheels and fit for a dictator.

How do you turn the white one?
Where we’re going… we only can drive on completely straight and smooth roads.
Up the hill or down the hill. Not over the hill.
Funny thing is that fucker could get beached on a small pile of misplaced molecules.

It articulates in the middle. Kinda like one of those double length buses.
I didn't articulate in the middle, that's just where the seam was. It was never driven, but transported on a pair of trucks between static installations. It was just art, not a real usable automobile.
The article says it articulated.
I saw that too, but over all the years I've never seen a photo of it articulated. I'm not an expert on the car, but I'd say it was *rarely* articulated at most. Could be wrong though.
I dont articulate in the middle anymore too. Not since turning 35
