Can you imagine paralell parking this thing?

> Jean Bugatti standing beside his Bugatti 'Esders' Roadster, 1932 - This car was 21 feet in overall length.

@marathon0 i don't think you'd need to parallel park in the first place because there were only a tenth of the cars out on the streets to begin with

@lina

LOL That's true! One would sure be making a statement too!

@marathon0 naturally, when most people could afford a ford model t or an equivalent of that, this taking up a third of the road in front of some store or house would instill respect

@lina

Yes envy, but even when there wasn't many automobiles it would be drawing a crowd. Imagine the bright colour paint (which itself was something) glinting in the sun, chrome too! ;-)

@marathon0 one thing the visuals, i'm sure the inline 6 would've been roaring once you give it some throttle
@marathon0 might've been an inline-8 in fact, which would've sounded even better

@lina @lina

Judging my those manifold vents, maybe a 12 cyclinder?

@marathon0 nah, i checked, it's an inline 8, i don't think there were many v12's at the time, aside from the cadillac v16 that was out there

Well the hood is too long for a minor 8 cyclinder. :-)

@lina @marathon0 Hehe good point @lina
Space not a problem back hen, prestige perhaps a priority too :)
Look at that guy he looks like mini-person compared to that aeroplane... I mean aerocar.... I mean autocar.

It's like the car icon* from Monopoly game !!!

* could be better word / alternatives?
