Reflective gold? Crap personal plate, too.

Nikola has far more money than sense. And absolutely no taste whatsoever!

I’m pretty sure it’s a reference to Nikola Tesla.  The poor man must be spinning in his grave! 🤮

A first generation Toyota MR2.  Driven by an old lady, no less!  Maybe she’s the original owner?

GMC Yukon XL with horrific body kit and wheels.

To make amends for assaulting your eyes with the above horror, here’s a lovely Ferrari 488 to look at!

[eddyramrod]

I thought you said "lovely"?

 

 

Lovely came to a steaming, shuddering halt in about 1967 and hasn't been seen since.

I know which one I'd be more comfy in! (It's not red.)

That blue Hyundai is out of MOT!

First one of these I’ve seen on the road.  They’re way overpriced, so VW are having trouble shifting them over here.

Some crackhead thinks he’s going to get three bags of sand for this rolling scrap heap!

1955 Chevy

 

Ghetto Limo!

 

Shedtastic 5 Series.

 

Subaru Sambar

 

[Asimo]

That BMW is top marks!

[Madman Of The People]

 

Porsche Man is living the dream.

 

Self-driving Waymo I-Pace.

 

This is what you get when you live in a place with no MOT inspections.

 

Here's the front of that Nissan Versa as seen through my MINI's rear view mirror.

 

Yeeeeee...Hawwwww!!!  Are those banjos I hear playing in the distance?

Karma Revero displayed at a local shopping centre.

 

 

$155,849!  WTF?!?!?

 

 

They must not be selling very well, hence the massive discount...

 

 

Typical Nissan Altima. Dents everywhere, front bumper falling off...

 

 

Quick drive-by shot of a Ferrari.

 

 

'55 Chevy rat rod.

 

 

Looks like a professional repair to me!

Are those Karma's a re hash of the old Fisker Karma?

I seem to remember that James May was pretty impressed with them on the Top Gear.

However, will they inherit the reputation and unreliability of the latest Fiskers?

Its a really strange one. Obviously Fisker went bankrupt and the Karma was reborn by Bob Lutz (I think) in V8 form. How it now once again is rereleased as an EV I have no idea. Fisker was reborn and went bankrupt again in the same time, no involvement from them with this Karma I'm sure.

Yes.  After the first Fisker company went bust, Chinese component manufacturer Wanxiang Group bought the assets and restarted production.

For some strange reason, I couldn't post links to Wikipedia from my phone. But I can from my laptop.

Here's the info on Karma Automotive.

And Karma's very slow to load company website...
