If Billy Joe wants to stay a millionaire, he needs to be smart with his money. There’s just not a lot of profit in delivery unless you have a ton of vehicles and drivers. That also means working lots of hours, and not enjoying his new wealthy lifestyle. What he needs to do is join in on a proven concept.


With this, he can found the new on demand peer-to-peer ride sharing service Bubbar. Great value, lots of comfort, and it’s green because there weren’t any green Laffy entries yet. So, green motoring. 10L/km, $26500

CSR42 review blurbs, part 1 of 2

@TR8R 2017 Rampage

An SUV huge chrome scoop? Billy-Joe runs towards it, opens the bonnet, and erm, well, his enthusiasm fades a bit. A 5.0L V8 is mediocre to redneck standard you see. Also the turbo badge on the back was a lie, such a beautiful lie. Billy-Joe would rather not lie about these things anymore now he has the money. This was a pretty downer for Billy-Joe, although he winked at his “cuzzin” when he opened the trunk. 70 Cubic ft of long cargo capacity was rather attractive, in several ways for rednecks.

@Yurimacs Zast Rantra

He sees the car…aaaand he’s drooling, yeap, atleast the looks are great, asides from knowing a redneck that the white won’t be white anymore in a matter of seconds. While revving he’s smiling happily, and it pulls, but with just 360 hp. Billy-Joe is unsure how to feel about that, but the car does make a good business vehicle with 30 mpg and 50 cubic feet of cargo space. Although it is unsure if the interior isn’t too mundane for him now (standard). Billy-Joe can’t play with his family in the mud though, and he is unsure if the car’s road capabilities make up for that.

@LilRedRhyder Omega Super Puma

It’s Hyuge, it goes anywhere, it’s great fun, and Billy-Joe had to take it out for a rip. Big enough to fit a Redneck family while still carrying a good load and some guns. The panoramic roof had Billy-Joe gazing with awe for a minute, let’s just hope it can survive redneck antics. Carrying moonshine might be a bit of a problem with it though, as they can see it with a choppa. But for a deliver anything anywhere vehicle this is great (And also light up anything apparently). Especially water, Billy-Joe hopes people need a lot of water, although we hope that Billy-Joe won’t mix up his moonshine and water. Not good fuel consumption but “good ol’ Murican muscle” rite here.

@conan Carnegie A99 Van V8 LUXURY

Well, it’s a delivery van ‘aight. Wait, hold up, are dem seats from dem fewwawi’s? Heck ye! Aand Billy-Joe spent a the rest of the hour rubbing the seats and blasting country music. When he regained his senses he realised that the cargo volume and capacity was insane, he considered mounting a minigun in it before being remembered that he needed to do deliveries with the van and that owning a minigun could be slightly illegal. Not a monsterous V8, but it gets him ‘round with the offroading skills of the Carnegie.

@abg7 Fleet Industries Audax Elite

After Billy-Joe took a peek under the hood he first started spouting, well, yeah, it wasn’t pretty what he spouted. He wasn’t pleased missing his dearly beloved V8. But once he took ‘er for a spin he calmed down like a baby getting rocked to sleep, possibly the most relaxing, smooth car to drive in (78 comfort). Yeah, one says that if you do what you love you’ll never have to work a day, but I think the same applies to driving the Audax Elite for work. Just, yeah, every time he looks under the hood his cursing resumes. But hey, atleast he can work comfortably and profitably…right?

@doncornaldie Rustic Sportwagon

Aye, now this is properly ‘Murican, nice V8, big grill and aight offroad capability. Billy spent a few minutes comparing his moonshine to the grill, he concluded that the statement of it shining brighter indeed was correct. Superduper advanced suspension with hydrowaterstuff suspension and electronic differential. Turbo helping with the fuel economy. This is actually a good car, but nothing to blow Redneck socks off, except for these big ass freakin’ rims, but a good comfy v’hicle with horses. Billy-Joe sure would like some t-shirt for his family too, but something tells me they’re just going to use them as fuel for the next family BBQ at uncle Jack’s. Except for the redneck in the area one, that one could possibly even actually sell.

@DoctorNarfy Shromet Adirondack Limited

Oooooh, yeah, yep, Billy-Joe is liking this one considering the gunshots in the air. Looks great, it’s a pickup, has a V8 and 570 horsey reasons to have fun. Not just that but it also has the same soothing effect as the Audax had, but now with a big meaty V8 to shake him back to life with some throttle application. It’s even alright offroad too. Yeah, Billy-Joe can show this one off in the mud to family. It has good cargo space too. This is the Ferrari of the Pickups alright, just thirstier than anything else he has seen so far. We’ll have to see if Billy-Joe will make sacrifices for actual profits, or succumb to sweet redneck temptation.

@oppositelock GSI Clydesdale

“Oooh, it’s one of dem fancy cars”. When he opened the hood of the Clydesdale, Billy-Joe looked a bit sceptical. We spent an hour or so trying to convince him that a V12 is actually better than a V8, rather unsuccessfully, but once he took it for a spin, oh he knew it was better. 720 horseys AND one of the more economical vehicles so far (21.5 mpg, I know, relativity’s a bitch). It’s more of a city car, and without putting the rear seats down the cargo space is limited (22 cubic feet? odd), even with the seats down. It’s goddarned fast though, 0-100 in 3.3 seconds on medium compound tyres. Billy-Joe seemed to never get bored to race anything he came across at the traffic lights. Just more of a supervan than a super delivery vehicle, but hey, maybe it could actually work, it still is big, and it’s goddarn fast and economical after all, with some good comfort.


Yeah, more is coming tomorrow :stuck_out_tongue:

I hope these reviews are alright, loving the vehicles so far.

Heh, Omega is now offering Billy-Joe a custom made confederate flag “blackout cover”. It retracts over the interior of the panoramic sunroof, to shield prying eyes from above. Free of charge!

P.S. Baja lights are designed specifically for deliveries out to the cottage in the woods at night, so he can see the rocks, trunks and mud he’ll be crawling through with that right proper 4x4 system, and off road tires.

I didn’t have time to enter this round but I am dying reading these reviews and what people offered :joy:

Once again you have delivered an excellent set of reviews! Now, if I had plonked a huge atmo V8 (especially an MOHV one, for the sake of reliability) into the Audax’s cavernous engine bay, it would have been even faster… But then again, on the other hand, it wouldn’t have been as efficient.

For curiosity’s sake, here’s a high-displacement V8 I just made that would have fitted into the engine bay of the Audax:

It’s a lot more powerful than the turbo I6 I eventually used, but I stuck with the six anyway for the sake of economy.

2017 Atrox Pravus


Somethings Are Better Left In The Past



Dating back to the mid-1970s the Pravus is a true classic. The country of origin may no longer exist but somehow the Pravus has managed to make its way into 2017…surpisingly and regretfully unchanged.

It’s a no-nonsense delivery vehicle for all occasions rain or shine, snow or sleet. As long as those occasions don’t involve high winds because this van struggles around corners even at the best of times.

But above all the Atrox Pravus is a van that gives you a taste of the forgotten past, how vehicles use to…that is to say very cheap, simple and dangerously cramped, poorly built and unpleasant to drive.

Powered by a ‘mighty’ venerable 1.4L OHV Inline 3 Cylinder producing a bracing 44.2 kW (59.2 hp) @ 5,500 RPM and 78.7 Nm (58 ft lb) @ 4,800 RPM. The ‘new’ 4-Speed manual gearbox will hasten you towards 0-60 in a brisk 23.6 seconds.

All while returning a ‘economical’ combined fuel cycle of around 13.36 MPG (17.60 L per 100 km) All this will only cost you $7,800 driveaway!

The turbo badge is not a lie…a “technician” (newly sacked) put the wrong CSR engine into it.

Memo t’ injaneerin’:- Yu bunch o’ slakjord censored rednex betta git yer act 2getha!!

So… You’ve sent a dirt-cheap, basic wildcard joke entry? At least the buyer can afford a whole fleet of them… For target practice. Or to ram repeatedly with whatever vehicle he ends up choosing until they are reduced to unrecognizable mangled wrecks.

And here is what a V8 version of the Audax would have looked like - much faster, but also much thirstier.

The only change I had to make to the trim for eligibility’s sake was removing the ninth gear on the automatic gearbox - but with so much torque, the extra ratio would have been unnecessary anyway. I also fitted wider tires compared to the I6 version, what with so much more power being put to the ground.

CSR 42 reviews part 2

@AirJordan Smooth Bigasseagle

“Dat’s one big ass cock”, with that Billy-Joe obviously referred to the fact that the car looks like a rooster with its stripey…feathers? Sure looks like the good ol’ ‘Murican colours. Bonus points for patriotism y’all. The body style just screams retromercedesutebutmodern, to a regular human being it might be confusing, but rednecks seem to like it. Having said that, it’s a good darn car, nice torquey V8, comfortable, and a huge pickup bed to well…pick up a lot of stuff. Pretty sure Billy-Joe was counting how many roosters he could fit in a rooster. The back seat, well, yeah, that’s prolly going to become Billy-Joe’s new gun shelf, not big enough to fit anything but an incest baby there otherwise.

@gridghost Polaris Nebula

“It’s red, that must mean it’s fast”. Well, his reasoning wasn’t 100% right, but the Nebula is fast indeed. A nice twin turbo V8 making a good compromise between both raw muscle and high mpg hustle. 20 mpg for a 446 hp SUV isn’t bad at all. It has decent cargo space too. But y’all know what SUVs are famous for: big n lifted, but not worth shit in the dirt, and this one is no exception, it didn’t take long before we had to call a towtruck on Billy-Joe’s usual “rather spirited” testdrives. Its comfort is great (55.9), but “great” is nothing to write home about in this extreme company. Billy-Joe could make some money with this in the city though, and it sure does look fancy (seriously, this guy rubs anything he likes the look of).

@BobLoblaw 2017 Petoskey Stag Big Chief Edition

Everything about this is huge, sounds like the perfect vehicle to display the size of your patriotism. You guessed it, Billy-Joe needed a change of pants. It can tow and transport about anything, anywhere, while still being economical. It isn’t exotic in any sense though, premium interior with standard entertainment, the only thing this has going for it is its raw size, like a virgin black male. Possibly the best company vehicle seen so far, but will Billy-Joe settle with a lesser luxury car? He needs to impress some females with his usual redneck mating rituals.

@thecarlover CM Nunavut LX

Well, yeah, alright, this is HUGE. ‘MURICAN HUGE. How on earth this behemoth gets 14 mpg is beyond me, and how a V8 can be this big is beyond Billy-Joe, I’m pretty sure that he wants to marry that engine, like, as in not a joke. Even compared to its company it has good comfort, and for a truck this big does the quarter mile in a good time. Perfect colour too, CM was smart, they brought the brown car. With the glass room Billy-Joe can gaze at the stars together with his cuzzin’ (while the rest of the family can awkwardly perfectly see them get it on afterwards. Anyhow, yeah, you can deliver A LOT with this truck, and tow, well, probably the entire trailer camp.

@JohnWaldock JHW XHV 580

This is perhaps the biggest surprise: on the outside an ordinary delivery van, on the inside however, is a big V6 with truckloads of torque, that makes It get decent mpg too. This has the biggest cargo space too, hell, it’s bigger than some trailers, someone might even borrow it to live in it. They would live comfortably too, with another great interior like a smooth redneck baby crib. Not exactly a vehicle to superbly show off with though, asides from its flat out luxurious interior, but it sure makes a great delivery vehicle with lots of mon mons to make.

@Leonardo9613 Bush Alexandrina V12.

The only thing this car is lacking is a burnout mode, not like it matters to the tyres though, Billy-Joe had them smoked up in a matter of minutes regardless. Yeah, Billy-Joe can see himself tearing it up from traffic light to traffic light at work in this car, I don’t think he cares anymore what engine is in it, but it also has the smallest cargo size of the competition, with one of the highest fuel consumptions, so would it really be fit as a professional work vehicle? Atleast the name of the car speaks right to Billy-Joe, even with 21 speakers blasting Cotton Eye Joe.

@Madrias Dynamite D1600

Torque for Susie, torque for Jack, TORQUE FOR EVERYONE. You know when I said a certain pickup could tow the entire trailer park, semi-jokingly? WELL THIS ONE ACTUALLY FOR SURE CAN. It is a shame then that the fuel economy and comfort aren’t up to par, because dear lord, this is a monster. So, so tempting, so American.

@Mikonp7 2017 EcaMobile Bison RedLine

It’s green, but it’s far from “green”. Much to redneck satisfaction, but also not good for business, as it has one of the worst mpg in the competition, while down on power and torque compared to others around this mpg. It does haul a lot of stuff though, another v’hicle for the family to sleep in, sadly this time not in comfort, as it’s yeah…not good in comfort (37.8) relatively speaking to the others. Nothing that kept Billy-Joe from revving the good ol’ trusty V8 over and over though (until we had to drag him to the second last car to view).

@ramthecowy Stallion Roswell Applewood Custom Limited Restomod

Billy-Joe got a bit emotional with the Stallion, he was conceived in one you see? Because apparently that’s a topic at redneck family diners. Nostalgia asides, this is a good ol’ American beast, big V8 wagon, plenty of room to shift stuff with the rear seats down, and with the restomod, in great comfort too. Sadly its hp and lack of offroad don’t make up for the mpg of 12.5. It’s pretty hard to get stuff in and out too.

@rk38 Atrox Pravus

Is it a snowball? Is it a yeti? No! It’s…a white blob on wheels basically. Billy-Joe and his redneck friends sure had fun rocking the car about until it fell on its side, firing gunshots to celebrate. I mean, I guess that’s one car sold, but not for the purpose we’re looking for in CSR42. It has cargo size, for the rest? Erm, well, nothing. It’s a hell to drive, it’s a hell to fuel, it’s a hell to get up to anywhere close to 60 mph.
Might want to try sell this to Lucifer.


Results

  1. @DoctorNarfy For all-round incredible Pickup-ness
  2. @Madrias For being Redneck torque heaven
  3. @oppositelock For incredibly HP and mpg, but lacking cargo (somehow, baffles me, should be more so that’s why 3rd) and offroad. (passed on hosting)
  4. @thecarlover For a great V8 luxury pickup, just was down on comfort and offroad compared to the Shromet.
  5. @ramthecowy for originality.

Very well played everybody, but can’t beat me when it comes to knowing exactly what rednecks want! Give me a few hours to come up with the regulations… And expect something… Literally the opposite of this round!
