I drew a couple of sketches before and during my into to ethics class earlier today. They're two vehicles made by the fictitious Probable Motors Company:
The Crumbland Muscle Wagon is a station wagon that can carry the whole family along with a fully-loaded goose neck fifth-wheel trailer. In case you can't read my handwriting, it features:
-a 18.3L diesel cross 20 engine (860 base* hp and 1.3 ton-feet *base torque)
-8-track and standard cassette tape player
-30 CD-changer (with a 1Tb mp3 system option)
-24-inch solid rubber tires
-all wheel drive and steering
-30 cubic-foot per minute (cfm) supercharger (with a 60 cfm option)
-one standard vane 40 cfm turbocharger (with dual Tesla 90 cfm turbos option)
-"sewer-flow" exhaust (named because the exhaust pipe is as big around as a residential drain pipe (three inch diameter
-all-wheel "full disc caliper" brakes (with transmission brake an option)
-dual front, and side-curtain airbags
-"solid steel" construction
-removable back section for fifth-wheel trailer towing
-all-speed cruise control
-A/C and heat
-roof rack
The Brute crew cab is a tough, work and play ready pickup with plenty of cargo space and towing capacity.
It features:
-30.4L diesel cross 36 (1,430 base* hp and 4 ton-feet base* torque)
-"sewer-flow" stacked exhaust pipes
-optional integrated winch
- 40 cfm supercharger (with an 80 cfm supercharger an option)
-dual Tesla 90 cfm turbochargers
-side-mounted 60 gallon tank (with dual 90 gallon tanks an option)
-24-inch solid rubber tires
-all wheel drive and steering
-all-wheel "full disc caliper" brakes (with transmission brake an option)
-dual front, and side-curtain airbags
-"solid steel" construction
-all-speed cruise control
-A/C and heat
-roof rack
-optional dual rear-tire mount and fenders
-clearance lights
*Base horsepower and torque measured in a certified test by ASE inspectors, without airflow-boosting devices (like superchargers or turbochargers),at lean fuel mixture, and .72 atmospheres of pressure. Your horsepower may be different.
Steel components are not always solid. "Solid-steel" construction refers to overall rigidity and strength of frame and safety cage.
NHTSA crash-test ratings not available (tboth vehicles destroyed all impact surfaces)
Would you drive one?
