Title: I Robot Audi
Post by: TehBorken on May 06 06 08:05
 Cool conversion job, eh?  
I guess the owner of this Audi TT really loves the movie "I, Robot".

That's a great car, but can you imagine hitting a pothole wth it?  It looks like even a flat tire would put the frame on the ground.

I think it would touch bottom if it so much as rolled over a bottlecap.

Yes, that's just it. Tyres have not evolved with our design concepts. Every time I look at a Honda Insight, I think about what a pain it would be to change the tyre. (excuse me, "tire") Take a $30,000 vehicle, and put it on four pieces of inflated rubber that can be mutilated by any stray piece of metal lying about in the road. Not too smart.
 
 Where are the engineers these days?
 
 Love,
 Trollio (who changed a tyre/tire last week)

is that for real? i think that might of been from the movie. the background is clearly vancouver, where i robot was filmed and you can see traffic signs in the background so the car doesnt look like it is actually moving.
