Somebody finally made the truck I drew as a 5 year old kid

Taulbee2277 pointed out to me exactly what this thing really is earlier today when we were chatting and he was absolutely spot on.

It's a Johnny cab from "Total Recall".

 

Seriously,Lucas could have done custom paint jobs on cars.

 

I agree.

 

Lucas, don’t quit your day job!

 

I like the 1976 version.

 

I truly thought of the Aston Martin Bulldog when I saw it. They could probably sue if it wasn't from 40 years ago......

 

First thing I thought of was Vector but yours is way closer.

Here's a concept Vector.

 

Stratos Zero, too.

 

I was thinking of the same thing only in cardboard

 

With any luck it will be dirt cheap. A basic truck 2wd or 4wd all the power you need and since it has no styling and no frills it will be cheap. Then they will sell a gajillion of them. My hope anyway since who has 60-100k to spend on a new truck these days with 4000 standard features I could care less about.

 

The basic one starts right at 40k. The top of the line starts just under 70k.

 

That’s what happens when you let someone who barely knows origami design a truck. With the stainless exterior, I can see a 21st century version of “Back To The Future” except they get stuck in the past because Lucas’ drawing broke the time loop.

 

Didn't Sigourney Weaver drive one of those in a Alien movie?

 

Great Scott I can't believe they actually for real built this thing. I too thought of built @ home with a few sheets of panel and a press brake.

To the member formerly known as Nailhead Ronnie I totally agree with your joke comment.

Lucas you need to get yourself a really good ambulance chasing lawyer my freind, your original drawing can be 'exhibit A' and you can retire on the settlement.

Wildcatsrule - easy tiger that's going a bit far, I happen to have the utmost respect for Sigourney Weaver as a professional thespian and that's rude. Bahahaha.

 

Lucas, I do like your drawing much better than the real truck though!

 

My 5 year old grandson made the design for that Tesla truck with four of his legos in under 10 seconds.

 

That beast is uglier than a Pontiac Aztec

 

My first question is how is it a truck? Isn't it more an SUV or even a Hatchback? Truck implies a bed that you can carry stuff in, big heavy stuff. I can't see how that happens with this.

Secondly I was reading an article that talked about part of the reason for the design is tooling. Flat surfaces, less tooling, lower cost.

All that said, just cause costs are down, how many cars have failed to sell due solely because they look horrid? I just can't see this thing selling. It really doesn't look at all attractive
