Is the Christmas Vacation mobile?

Not Christmas vacation, but the first vacation movie.
It’s a Griswold vehicle for sure

The Hideous Station Wagon from National Lampoon’s Vacation Could Be Yours (Sort of)

Few Hollywood cars are more iconic of the classic American family road trip than the clunky green station wagon from National Lampoon’s Vacation. The ugly, uncomfortable, gas-guzzling monstrosity was everything a family road-trippin’ vehicle should be. Now, that automotive gem could be yours —...

Sorry I did not get a picture.

Person hauling wood scraps in a pickup tied down with wrapping paper ribbon.
We stayed back watching the wood pieces fly out, and the ribbon streaming in the wind.

What a mess, luckily enough lanes that we did not have to drive over any bits.

You need to get a dash cam! That way you'd catch the crazy stuff and help protect you in case of somebody's poor judgement! I haven't caught anything on mine other then some wildlife.

And seen at the end of the remake too, with Christina Applegate and Ed Helm (?)

Off course WhistlinDiesel is a spoiled brat who wrecks things for a living, yet the rear frame crossbar shouldnt break off like that. Ive done much worse to a Volvo (yanking out the rear seat by running a chain through the ski hatch to a fencepost on the rear bench, and tying it to a tractor, because we needed fuel for our campfire) and tearing that unibody apart by excerting great force in a random place, were bigger yanks than where this frame broke by applying load on an intended hitch...

There's a reason I hardly ever watch anything on You Tube.

Wikipedia has more than enough bad information, and it does't require sound.

I ran across a Tesla Cybertruck today, painted white! First time I've seen one in anything but raw stainless (or clear on stainless?), I hadn't even known they came in colors. Is it custom?



I'm guessing @Too many Kubotas can already guess what I'm driving, from the hood profile.

It depends. Once you stumble upon crap like that and click on it, the algorythm proposes more of the same. I dont follow WhistlinDiesel normally, his immature hang for destruction gets old fast. And off course every Youtuber with money, wanted to trash a Cybertruck, this was so predictable..

I hardly watch TV, mostly Youtube vloggers from agriculture or construction that cut the drama with which Discovery Channel tarts up its real life documentaries. There are plenty of good ones, better than TV

 

[dodge man]

I’ve never seen one but I think they are “wraps” on the Cyber Trucks.

 

[kenmbz]

I saw a brown Tesla truck, it did look more like a wrap than paint.

I used to watch a lot of Diesel Creek, but you just reminded me that he fell out of my algorithm. My daughter will take my phone or iPad, and after she's skipped past all my favorites and watched 30 minutes of tween crap, I get all sorts of different suggestions.

Yeah thats a right honest man. And Dirt Perfect.

I just read WD saying the cybertruck video brokr records already. Andrew Camarata reserved to buy one too, we already know hes going to say that "it broke for no reason" because people love that.

Musk should scale that thing down by about 1/2 and make a two-seat sports car out of it. Can't figure out why some company that makes electric cars hasn't built a sports car yet (not a hybrid, but actual full electric sports car).

Both Toyota and Audi seem to have several in concept phase, so they're likely going to be the first of the major makers to hit the market with something like that.

My wife's boss bought an i8, when they first hit the market. Definitely a true "sports car" by any measure, but PHEV, not BEV. I will say that the HP and torque numbers of some of the PHEV's are truly impressive, but the cost is just insane when packaging what is basically a full ICE in with a full electric car, on a single chassis.

I thought Tesla had a 2-seater in the early 2000s.

Damn, I know more about EVs than I should or want to.

I saw a brown Tesla truck, it did look more like a wrap than paint.

I saw a brown one too in St. Cloud, MN, over the weekend. Was passing it in the opposite direction so didn't see it close enough to discern paint from wrap. Man those things are ugly.

Well, they had the roadster but Musk launched it into space. Don't think they ever built any production cars though.

Well, they have the Model S Plaid, which is a 'sportscar' but not a 2-seater. It's a rocket though, apparently.

I keep my history turned off on YouTube so I get no suggestions which is what I like

<nomex>These days just about anything is called a 'sportscar'; I think on performance bases the Model S (plaid or otherwise) can be considered a "Grand Touring" (fast, and presumably comfortable though I haven't been in one to know personally), but I doubt that anything that weighs over two tons is really a "sports car", which typically is more about handling than speed & acceleration.</nomex>
