why do pigfat enjoyers cope like this?

you're just jelly that your vehicle doesn't have a minigolf course, waterpark, casino, restaurants, gym, theater, club, AND spa

>>28451251 (OP)
Because you can not use ariel atom as daily despite road homologation

>>28451259
Could you fit a fully equipped bar and commercial kitchen in the Ariel Atom? Didn't think so

>electric propeller system
Needs a straight axle propeller or it is not a real ship!

The modern gimmicks they manage to stuff into these things appall me, who asked for these??

>>28451373
I think they're neat.

>>28451373
I'd go on a cruise just to get away from it all. Just imagine

>>28451385
You'll have cell service most likely

>>28451392
That's great but I will have no need or want for it

Float boats/yank tanks/land yachts are completely different creatures that cater to rare and sophisticated sensibilities.

You float over bumps in your over stuffed sofa bench seat in air conditioned comfort as you gaze over your acre of hood. You navigate corners slowly like a ship coming into port. Because you are an important person and hurrying is for peasants with deadlines. You give people deadlines and hurry for no one.

You put out your cigarette in one of your five illuminated ash trays as you arrive at your destination. People take notice as the Chrysler’s sheer mass dwarves anything else in the parking lot. You step out of your private chrome Death Star dressed like Don Draper, making an entrance that men envy and women desire.

Chrysler needs to return to its roots, it’s the luxury division and needs to start acting like it if it’s going to survive.

I could save her.

>Have to listen to the safety valves going off for the next hour
Swings and roundabouts

>>28451259
you could but it would be impractical.
couldn't be worse than going to work on a motorcycle.

>>28451419
Nice ship, would be a shame if something happened to it

>>28451260
I could.

>>28452327
tbf a TRX does pretty much everything an old land yacht could do but a lot better as well as many other tasks. 35/37'' tires and soft long travel suspension is going to float you down the road just like a land yacht. While it may not have comfy sofa seats the interior is just as spacious and more luxurious.

The SS United States could do 43 kts

You don’t understand what luxury is.
You probably think an over priced Carhart coat is designer fashion too.

>>28451392
Generally not on sea days, it's usually like 30 quid extra+tip per day to access starlink or some shitty on board wifi

Nuclear power was a thing.

Honestly if that piece of shit goes 25 mph will a whole city onboard and I'm chilling on a lil cabin patio sippin a diet coke, I'm impressed, way better than rocking on a little shitty boat.

>>28451373
The original concept was sound.
>get on boat.
>go to cabin.
>go to sleep.
>wake up off the coast of a new country
>go ashore and check out historical sites and culture.
>goto 10
Now people get on board and spend their entire trip on ship. When they do get off the boat its a manufactured port city with 14 foot high walls to keep out the kidnappers and souvenirs made from sea shells from ebay and hot glue. The cruise lines figured out if you stay on the ship the entire time you spend more money on booze and game passes for the kids.

>>28452647
This is your brain on RAM.

>>28451373
>who asked for these??
Cruisers did by booking on ships that had distractions for the kids so they could go gamble or hit the bar.

>WTF why doesn't nuclear energy work in civilian vessels?
Too many ports wouldn't allow Savannah in due to scary nukular power. No doubt the Soviets threw some money to encourage that just as they did the anti-nuke crowd (read: hippies) in the US proper. Still, if that shiny new toy can't go anywhere you might need it to then it's not going to catch on.

Further, considering things like the Marine Electric, Oceanos, and El Faro, to just name a very few of the literally hundreds of examples of horrible neglect and incompetence, do we really want a nuke plant in the hands of a shipping company?

The Britannic and Titanic were virgin Chuds.
The CHAD Olympic was ramming U-Boats and winning.
Lived though the war and kept on going.

Yeah.
Right.

>>28454321
Uh oh! Someone doesn't know what they're talking about.

>>28453833
The SS United States did about 45mph. Fastest oceanliner by far. Wonder what that was like.

>>28454728
Imagine the wind on deck, going 45mph in my car with the windows dropped is crazy

>>28454730
No doubt. Yet trom a balcony going 25 it's surprisingly tranquil, at least when the air is pretty still and sea level. It's not even particularly bothersome from a wing of a bridge, somehow.

Because my Y A C H T is faster and more luxurious than your dinky skipper dinghy pikachu bullshit LOL

>>28454321
I still giggle a little replaying in my head the Italian Coast Guard ordering Captain Shittino to get back on board.
