The Random/Funny Pic Thread.

[RayVoy]

I have always thought the new explorer and range rover sport look way too much alike. I didn't realize HOW much until I saw these 2 pics in the local paper the Cincinnati Enquirer-now proudly made in Columbus, oh

Anyone else see this? Also I have searched and searched and don't see anything online about these being the same platform.

Ford purchased the Land Rover company in 2006 (I think), but sold it, along with Jaguar, in 2008, or '09, to raise money to keep from going bankrupt.

They may look alike, but that is all.




The fifth generation 2011 Explorer takes cues from the Explorer America concept's construction, and includes a unibody structure based on the D4 platform, a modified version of the D3 platform.[SUP][20][/SUP][SUP][21][/SUP] The new Explorer features blacked-out A, B, and D-pillars to produce a floating roof effect similar to Land Rover’s floating roof design used on its sport utility vehicles. Ford already uses this floating roof design on the Ford Flex. The Explorer's C-pillar remains body colored. It also gets sculpted body work with stepped style headlamps similar to the Flex, Edge, Escape, Expedition and F-150. In addition, the Explorer receives new stepped style tail lamps. The grille will receive the corporate three-bar design with upper and lower perforated mesh work, similar to that of the sixth-generation Taurus.
The Explorer's chief design engineer is Jim Holland, who was also a chief design engineer for Land Rover. Holland is responsible for the design of the previous generation Land Rover Range Rover (L322). Holland also worked on the outgoing Ford Expedition (U324) during its initial development

I always assumed they are built on the same platform. Everytime I see a LR I think how do you like paying for an overpriced Ford.

Similar shaped, but a whole different animal. Land Rover (and Jaguar) are owned by Tata Motors of India. The Land Rover features an all new first of its kind for an SUV all-aluminum monocoque body, the Explorer is now just another FWD crossover.

That's just wrong.

Once saw a work pick-up on tires and rims like those. That was even worse.

Saw this one linked to the WeatherChannel.com's webpage, believe it or not. Photo gallery of people going through a haunted house, I figured folks here would have a good time coming up with potential captions for this one.

**clicky**

Yea i forgot the name of the place. But they take a pic of everyone at the last part of what is supposed to be the scariest part. I believe this was last years and its a car on a track driving towards you at a fast speed.

That sounds like a great segment to have in a haunted house. It's been a few years since I've gone to a really good one.

That's what I said... Daughter's right hand looks like it was doing something similar, but got knocked away... Talk about a loving family dynamic!!

Random crops from my dash cam from the past few days. The VW is hard to see but his tailpipe on the driver side had a 90 degree bend on it, pointing straight up a foot or two, with a semi-type flappy cap. You can kind of see it right at his tail light. Goofiest looking thing, what's the point in that? Whole car was done up in a flat black rattle can primer lol.

Was that a TDI VW? If it was, that was the VW car version of what's on that Diesel truck, a stack so that it can roll coal when he flogs the fuel.
